FBI probes Michigan husseiniyah vandalism

By: Mohamed Ali

DEARBORN, United States: In the area of the Karbalaa Islamic Education Center in Dearborn, the US police began special law enforcement procedures on Thursday to discourage acts of vandalism.

It was the fourth incident since late last year which occurred at the husseiniyah Wednesday morning.

The FBI is investigating the latest event, in which the words "center of the party of Satan" were painted in Arabic on the front and back of the husseiniyah.

"I personally called the FBI," said Mayor Jack O'Reilly. "We have no tolerance for any of this activity and we are taking this very seriously.

"We are on guard and pursuing the investigation," Reilly added.

Federal authorities say the FBI is pursuing the case and investigating other instances of vandalism in recent months at mosques and a Christian church where people of Arab descent worship.

The vandalism may constitute hate crimes that are prosecuted under federal civil rights law.
