Christians Vandalize Virginia Mosque

The Council on American-Islamic Relations(CAIR) today called on the FBI to investigate vandalism at a Virginia mosque as a possible hate crime.Officials of the All Dulles Area Muslim Society (ADAMS) in Sterling, Va., say a large Nazi swastika was discovered on the exterior of their facility this morning. The center has been the target of several incidents of vandalism since the 9/11 terror attacks."It is particularly disturbing that a mosque near our nation's capital is repeatedly targeted in this manner," said Shama Farooq, civil rights director for CAIR's Maryland and Virginia office.CAIR said vandalism or other possible bias-related incidents have been reported recently at mosques in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Florida, Texas, Nebraska, California, and New York. In December of last year, bombs damaged an Ohio mosque.
