A press released emailed by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) reports that mosques in Nebraska, California and New York have been vandalized:
According to police reports, the Islamic Foundation in Lincoln, Neb., was vandalized twice this past weekend. Vandals reportedly broke a window and spray-painted racist graffiti such as "white power" and a Nazi swastika on the building and a car parked at the site.
In California, representatives of the Islamic Center of Redlands say their mosque has been a target of vandalism and trespassing. An incident during prayers on Aug. 19, during which unknown people threw beer bottles, poured alcohol into a worshipper's car and shouted epithets, prompted a letter to city officials.
The press release also indicated, without citation to any source, that "in Beacon, N.Y., a city garbage receptacle was reportedly thrown through a window of Masjid Ur-Rashid on August 23."
As a result of these multiple incidents, CAIR Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper urged the FBI to look into "whether anti-Muslim bias played a role in any of these incidents."
