Graffiti on Portland mosque under investigation
Portland police are investigating anti-Islam graffiti painted onto the Maine Muslims Community Center on Anderson Street.
The graffiti included: “Osama today, Islam tomorow (sic),” “Long live the West” and “Free Cyprus.”
The letters were written in maroon paint on the mosque’s gray cement block wall. The graffiti was written sometime between late Sunday night and about 7:15 a.m. today, when it was discovered by Portland Housing Authority workers on Anderson Street.
This isn’t anything other than the natural consequence of the jingoistic, nationalistic fervor we got a glimpse of last night.
