Police investigators in Charleston, US state of South Carolina, are still looking for three people after the Islamic Center of Charleston was vandalized twice in two weeks.<\/p>\n
One person was caught on camera spray painting the mosque\u2019s wall in downtown Charleston on Jan. 19, and days later on Jan. 30, two others were seen doing the same thing. All three are now being considered people of interest.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a wakeup call. It just makes you pay more attention,” the mosque\u2019s Imam, Bourouis El-idrissi, said. \u201cYou wonder why people do this, and I know there\u2019s hate crime everywhere. What pushed them to do this?\u201d<\/p>\n
The vandalism consisted of an unidentifiable symbol and the words \u201cUtterly Blessed.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are still strong, and this is not going to destroy us,” El-idrissi said. He also added he got a call from the leader of the Charleston Jewish Federation.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis brought us together. He asked me, \u2018Do you need some help? We can bring people and help wash the graffiti,\u2019” El-idrissi said. “There is a support from other faith.\u201d<\/p>\n
The first alleged vandal was seen driving a dark colored Nissan, possibly a newer model Altima, with both front and rear licenses of an unknown state. The other two being sought were seen traveling in a silver car, but its make and model is unknown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
