Muslims say damage to Durham mosque beyond vandalism
DURHAM, N.C, 11.05.2009
AP
North Carolina and national Muslim leaders want police to investigate if continuing vandalism to a Durham mosque is a possible hate crime.
The News Observer of Raleigh reported Thursday that Durham's Ar-Rahman mosque was attacked again this weekend, when windows and doors were smashed and computer monitors stolen.
Someone smashed some of the same windows and doors this summer. Last spring, two men opened the doors during a prayer service and began throwing rocks while shouting obscenities.
Officials with the mosque near the North Carolina Central University campus said the accused ringleader of an alleged terrorist group occasionally attended prayers at the mosque. Prosecutors said he cut ties with local mosques because of ideological differences.
