Australian Police Investigate Islamophobic Vandalism at Melbourne Islamic School
——————-
Victoria Police have launched an investigation into a series of racist and Islamophobic graffiti discovered on the walls of the Melbourne Islamic College in the city’s western suburbs. According to reports from The Guardian, the offensive messages were spray-painted onto the fences of the school’s Tarneit campus on Wednesday evening, featuring explicitly anti-Muslim language.

Detectives are currently examining whether this act of vandalism is linked to several harassing phone calls made to the mosque affiliated with the school earlier in the week. Authorities have issued a firm statement asserting that hate-based behavior will not be tolerated in the community as the investigation continues. This incident has sparked concern among local residents, prompting calls for increased security around religious and educational institutions.
