Anti-Muslim vandalism: Man urinates on mosque sign
A social media post under the username “JewishBiker88” sparked outrage as it depicted a man urinating on the sign of the East Texas Islamic Society Mosque and School in Tyler, Texas.
The post, accompanied by the caption “Found a good place to take a p**s while out on the motorcycle this morning,” has since been deleted along with the account.
Council on American-Islamic Relations Texas Chapter’s Executive Director Mustafaa Carroll condemned the act as bias-motivated vandalism.
He has called for a thorough investigation by law enforcement officials.
Carroll referenced a surge in anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian hate crimes, with CAIR receiving over 3,000 complaints in the last quarter of 2023.
He urged places of worship to implement security measures outlined in CAIR’s Best Practices for Mosque and Community Safety guide to prevent such incidents.
