The note also made reference to Donald Trump and said that the president-elect is "going to cleanse America and it make it shine again"
A hateful and Islamophobia-laden letter was delivered to a South Bay Muslim community Thursday, prompting law enforcement authorities to commence an investigation.
Copies of the same letter were also delivered to two Islamic Centers in southern California, the Los Angeles chapter of the Center for American-Islamic Relations said Friday. Long Beach and Pomona police have not yet responded to requests for confirmation.
The short hand-written letter, which was mailed to the Evergreen Islamic Center in San Jose and addressed to the "Children of Satan," called Muslims a "vile and filthy people" and urged them to "pack your bags and get out of dodge."
The note also made reference to Donald Trump and said that the president-elect is "going to cleanse America and it make it shine again. And, he's going to start with you Muslims."
In the final paragraph, the message read, "This is a great time for patriotic Americans. Long live President Trump and God bless the U.S.A."
Faisal Yazadi, Chairman of the Board at the Evergreen Islamic Center, was baffled by the letter, but not surprised based on the recent tension brewing in the United State following a divisive election season.
The Islamic center warned parishioners to remain alert and keep an eye out for potential violence, but it is not planning to add visible security to watch over the mosque at this time.
Yazadi is still pleased that the San Jose Police Department is taking the message seriously.
"Within minutes of letting them know, I had three cop cars pulled up our our property," he said.
Santa Clara County Supervisor Dave Cortese was alarmed by the behavior displayed in his jurisdiction.
"It's threatening," he said. "It's obviously threatening. It indicates a state of mind you would hope doesn't exist in Santa Clara County."
The Council of American-Islamic Relations issued a statement Friday clamoring that police and government leaders step up and protect local mosques.
"We urge local law enforcement authorities to work with Muslim community leaders to ensure the safety of all houses of worship," Zahra Billoo, the Executive Director for the San Francisco Bay Area chapter of CAIR, wrote. "Our state's political and religious leaders need to speak out against the mainstreaming of Islamophobia that we are witnessing in California and nationwide."
In a similar fashion, CAIR's Los Angeles chapter called for "stepped-up police protection of local mosques" in response to the letters.
Less than two weeks ago, an anti-Muslim note was left on a woman's car in Milpitas.
Anyone with information regarding the recent letter is asked to contact the San Jose Police Department's Assaults Unit, which is responsible for handling hate-related incidents, at (408) 277-4161. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at (408) 947-7867.
Fake news seems to be the flavor of the day now. Does anyone believe this crap?
whoa, just dawned on me....the USPS delivered it.
Must be the right people.
“Hate-related incidents.” Cops have their work cut out for them. No time to enforce immigration laws.
Just another stupid HOAX.
There is a passage in the Holy Bible in which it clearly states that Satan has used the names of Baal, Ishtar, Allah, etc., to further his hostilities against the Almighty.
Sent by themselves.
Another fake (but accurate) hate crime.
Agreed, chances of this being a hoax or self-inflicted are well over 90% IMHO.
Allah is Satan, that is who they worship, so they are the people it was addressed to.
Anyone who objectively studies Islam will conclude that it is a threat to US.
Just look at all of the "victim" be the HOAXer, incidents that we know about.
Start with the LA CAIR head that said U.S. foreign policy was partly to blame for the San Bernardino attack.
I didn't read anything threatening in the excerpt posted.
And ignoring that it was accurately addressed ('to the members of a satanic cult', or whatever), if not sent by a Muslim, or leftist, it was nothing more than a crank letter written by someone venting their spleen.
Why are the police involved? The same police that didn't have time to go after the people who attacked Trump supporters when Trump went to San Jose a few months ago.
It is a federal offense to open someone else’s mail...
Where is the proof of who writing it?
Fake or not, the children of the MSM don’t even know the root definition of the word “phobic”.
Islam is a war plan.
"It's obviously threatening. It indicates a state of mind you would hope doesn't exist in Santa Clara County."
See, this is what bothers me... this mentality that certain thoughts are a crime. If there is no actual threat, just gloating about deportations... again, not very nice, but how is it a crime?
The devil, someone said (though it likely is false flag)
