Boston (IINA) – A mosque in a Boston suburb of Burlington has been vandalized after an unknown spray-painted "USA" repeatedly on the walls of the Islamic Center.
The Massachusetts chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said Sunday that vandals spray-painted "USA" repeatedly on the exterior walls of the Islamic Center of Burlington, AP reported. The group said the vandalism was discovered early Sunday and reported to police, who are investigating. They said they had posted photos of the graffiti online.
In a statement, the group suggests the graffiti reflects a growing anti-Islamic sentiment that Muslim are not "real" Americans. The executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Massachusetts said the group will formally ask the FBI's Boston office to also conduct an inquiry. John Robbins also said the mosque was previously spray-painted with "USA" graffiti in 2013.
