A woman was arrested Monday after green paint was found splattered inside two chapels at the Washington National Cathedral, and police were investigating her in connection with two similar incidents on the National Mall, authorities said.

The woman was arrested in the area of the cathedral shortly after the paint was found, Assistant D.C. Police Chief Peter Newsham said. Investigators were hoping to question her about the vandalism on the Mall, including at the Lincoln Memorial, but a language barrier delayed the interrogation, Newsham said.

Isn't green the color of one of the muslim groups? Surely someone would be around to speak spanish in Washington?

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Translators abound in D.C.

Sooo, what is this foreign language of the woman? Arabic? African native tongue of half white Hussein? Polynesian from half black Hussein's Hawaii? Iranian dialect? Hamas preferred language, whatever it is - guess they call it Palestinian language?

I am so sick of militant Muslims and their destruction of this country and I'm profiling and I don't care because it's the truth and I believe half black Hussein is one of them, Muslim Brotherhood. Stop celebrating Muslim Ramadan with dinners at the White House. What is this perversity that has taken this country? A perversity it seems that cannot be stopped. I pray almighty God steps in and sweeps this affliction from this country.

I'm a Christian and I'll never be a Muslim, never. If it's convert to Muslim Islam or die, I'll keep my Christianity until my last breath and I know what I just wrote.

Language barrier?

She doesn't understand cursive.

[Black Agnes]

Beat me to it.

Bet the language barrier was Arabic, Urdu, Farsi or some other dialect associated with that part of the world.

GMTA,,,thats what I was thinking.

[bgill]

About the color green, same as what I was thinking.

You can never find an Amish-English translator when you need one . . .

[dfwgator]

"I speak Amish."

[daivid]

Was the graffiti in cursive?

“eco-nazis”

So, you’re saying that the authorities can’t translate “Stoner”?

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

Those look like symbols of witchcraft or some kind of paganist religion

Theban

Anglo-Saxon runes (futhorc/fuþorc)

Arabic

Or it could be the rantings of deranged mind who knows !

[livius]

Yes, because it’s obviously not a Spanish speaker (since Spanish translators aren’t hard to find, and I can’t imagine any Spanish speaker doing this anyway). It could be a speaker of an Asian language, although I suspect enough of them live in DC to make it fairly easy to find translators for them, too.

So that leaves us with ... somebody from a country that likes Islamic green?

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

Islamic Green ? do they sell that at home depot ? or would it be called hunter green here ? lol

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

FoxNews.com makes no mention of the “language barrier”. What are they afraid of reporting?

Sheesh!

[Veto!]

Ebonics?

[DaveA37]

She speak ghetto? Maybe “ghetto” is the language she understands and speaks, no wondr no one else can understand her. Was she a product of the DC school system?
