The Council on American-Islamic Relations called on the FBI to investigate a recent incident of vandalism against a Chicago area mosque as a possible hate crime. The Islamic Foundation Mosque in Villa Park was vandalized last week, which is the fourth such incident in two months. A mosque employee discovered that two windows were shattered on the mosque, and a five-gallon tank of flammable liquid had been spilled in the mosque’s school – an area that is currently under construction.
