I strongly condemn the acts of vandalism against anybody. However,
the grffiti is interesting. The writer must be an ex-Muslim. The locals
would not know Arabic.

Hate Message Left Near Arizona Mosque
Islamophobic signs left at Tempe mosque, Muslim office in Phoenix
CAIR June 13
(PHOENIX, AZ, 6/13/06) - The Arizona office of the Council on
American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-AZ) today called on local and national
law enforcement authorities to investigate as bias crimes hate messages
left at a Tempe mosque and at the group's Phoenix office.
Officials of the Islamic Community Center of Tempe reported to CAIR-AZ
that a sign attacking the Prophet Muhammad and claiming "Muslims
Worship Satan" was left near the mosque sometime last night.
Another message on a hand-written sign placed in CAIR-AZ's office
window sometime over the weekend stated "Mohammed Rasool Al
Shaytan," meaning "(The Prophet) Muhammad is the messenger of
Satan." This is a distortion of the common Islamic phrase referring
to the Prophet as a messenger of God.
"The fact that this person actually went to the mosque and to CAIR's
office would seem to indicate a level of hostility that could
potentially result in more than hate speech," said CAIR-AZ Office
Manager Bushra Khan. She said local police are investigating both
incidents. Khan said FBI officials should add their resources to those
of local authorities.
In May, Khan was one of several Muslim women who reported being
verbally abused by two people who said they recently saw the movie
"United 93" about one of the planes hijacked on 9/11.
