Arif Ali Rafiq, from Northampton, will appear in court today after being charged with attempted arson at the mosque in Headlands, Kettering.
A Northamptonshire Police spokesman said: “Arif Ali Rafiq, a British-born Asian man, of Harlestone Road, Northampton, has been charged with attempted arson with intent to endanger life.
The charge relates to an incident on the afternoon of Sunday, October 5, when an attempt was made to set fire to the front door of the mosque."
The centre provides a ‘place of worship and community for Muslims in the area’, and has been a meeting place for the Kettering Muslim Association since it opened in 2008.
