Here’s another anti-Muslim hate crime that Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer and the Bigot Brigade can claim they have nothing to do with — this time on the hallowed ground of San Antonio, Texas: San Antonio mosque vandalized amid national tensions over NYC mosque.

A San Antonio mosque has been hit several times in the past week by vandals.

Tensions are already running high with the mosque controversy in New York City. Now, the Islamic Center of San Antonio has become a target.

Vandals spray-painted symbols and letters on the facade of the new building.

Members of the Islamic center near the Medical Center in northwest San Antonio said they came out from prayers Sunday to find the cars in the parking lot vandalized with graffiti and anti-Islamic messages.

Police are investigating the incidents.

A few hours later, we have an update: San Antonio mosque rules out hate crime as root of graffiti incident.

SAN ANTONIO — As the anniversary of Sept. 11 approaches, tensions are running high, including here in San Antonio, where a mosque has been targeted several times over the weekend by vandals.

Nadia Ramdass of KENS 5 spoke with the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Washington, D.C., which is not treating the incident as a hate crime due to the non-offensive nature of the graffiti.

They are working with local police and FBI, however, to ensure they’re correct.

Vandals spray painted symbols and letters inside and outside of the mosque, located near the Medical Center in northwest San Antonio on Sunday.

Members of the Islamic Center were already targeted by vandals on Saturday, too. They came out from prayers to find the cars in the parking lot sprayed with graffiti.

Members of the mosque believe the incidents could be gang related.

So far, local law enforcement has no leads.
