Massachusetts Mosque Spraypainted with ”USA” in Possible Hate Crime

HeadlineNov 02, 2015

The Massachusetts chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations has called for a hate crime investigation after the word ”USA” was spraypainted multiple times on a Burlington mosque. CAIR said the graffiti “appears to reflect a common Islamophobic theme that Muslims are not 'real' Americans.” The mosque has been targeted with similar graffiti in the past.
