Racial slurs were spray-painted on the school
WEST WARWICK, R.I. -- The Islamic School of Rhode Island was vandalized over the weekend.
Hilmy Bakri, president of the school’s Board of Trustees, said Sunday that racial slurs were spray-painted on the school, at 840 Rear Providence St.
Photos of the school circulating on social media and sent to The Providence Journal show doors covered with the words, “Now this is a hate crime” and “pigs,” along with expletives referring to the prophet Muhammad and to Allah, the Arabic word for God.
“I find it very upsetting,” said Rabbi Sarah Mack, of Temple Beth-El in Providence. “The Muslim community in Rhode Island is very open and peaceful.”
West Warwick police would not immediately comment Sunday evening until a police report could be reviewed.
