Masjid adalah tempat ibadah yang dihormati dan dijaga dengan baik oleh umat Muslim, sehingga tindakan yang mengancam keamanannya tidak dapat diterima.
Kasus seperti ini harus ditangani dengan serius oleh aparat kepolisian dan aparat hukum lainnya.
Penting bagi masyarakat untuk merasa aman dan nyaman dalam menjalankan ibadahnya tanpa adanya ancaman dan ketakutan.
Selain itu, perlu juga dilakukan pendekatan preventif untuk mencegah terjadinya kasus-kasus serupa di masa yang akan datang.
Pendidikan dan pemahaman agama yang baik harus disebarkan lebih luas di masyarakat agar semua pihak bisa saling menghormati dan menjaga kerukunan antarumat beragama.
