Vandals strike again at St Louis mosque

St Louis mosque graffitiVandals have apparently struck again at a mosque in south St. Louis City. Authorities say they are not considering this a hate crime, but the FBI and the St. Louis Police are trying to find out who wrote “worship Satan” on the side of the building.

There are no details on who the suspect(s) might be, but sources say it may be the same person or people who vandalized the mosque two weekends ago.

Islamic leaders say they are concerned about this incident, and are making a unique offer to drop the charges against the vandal.

The mosque is a converted apartment building along Allen Street that is now a place of worship and an education center. It’s been in the neighborhood for 10 years.
