Perth's Muslim community has condemned an alleged knife attack by a teenager police described as "radicalised", which left one man hospitalised with serious injuries.
A 16-year-old boy allegedly stabbed a man at the Bunnings carpark on High Road in Willetton about 10pm yesterday before he was shot dead by police.
Nasir Mosque Imam Syed Wadood Janud condemned the alleged attack "in the harshest terms possible", saying it went against the teachings of the religion.

"We would also like to mention that Islam has nothing to do with any acts of violence that are committed in its name. Islam is a religion that literally means peace," he said at a press conference today.
Janud said the Muslim community was particularly hurting since one of its own, Faraz Tahir, was killed in Sydney's Bondi Junction massacre just weeks ago.
"There was shock, confusion but then concern as well because of what has happened recently in the east coast, what has happened in Sydney and now something that happened so close at heart," he said.
"It's not only concerning, it's shocking and I think members of the community are still coming to terms of it."
Police Commissioner Col Blanch earlier today said the boy was shot after he failed to put down the knife and Tasers did not have the "the full desired effect".
"The male continued to advance on the third officer with the firearm, who fired a single shot and fatally wounded the male," he said.

Blanch said the teenager was known to authorities and had both "mental health issues and radicalisation issues".
He said the teenager had been attending a program to combat extreme online violence extremism, which was supported by psychologists and faith leaders.
Janud said Muslims were extremely concerned about Islamophobia in the wake of the incident and the rising radicalisation across the country.
"Radicalisation of all forms, whether that is anti-Semitic, whether that is Islamophobic, whether that is right-wing Neo Nazis, we see this on the rise," he said.
"As Australians, we all need to come together and tackle these issues that may be prevalent in the community."
Following news of the alleged attack, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese stressed that there was no place for violent extremism in Australia.
"My thoughts are with those who have been affected by the incident," he said in a statement today.

"I have spoken with WA Premier Roger Cook this morning, and I thank the WA Police for acting swiftly to contain the incident.
"I have also received a briefing on the situation by the ASIO Director-General and the AFP Commissioner, and I'm advised there is no ongoing threat to the community on the information available."
Authorities said the teenager acted alone and there was no ongoing threat to the community.
