Birmingham: 'Islam Must Die' and Swastika Graffiti Daubed on University as City Mosque Attacked


INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS TIMES: Police have suggested that separate Islamophobic attacks at the University of Birmingham and a nearby mosque are linked, after the words "Islam must die" and a swastika were daubed on a wall at the student campus.

Islamophobic graffiti was sprayed on walls at the university, in Edgbaston, and the Jahalabad mosque on Dartmouth Road, Selly Oak, on Friday evening (16-17 January).

The offensive language and symbol have since been scrubbed from the wall of the old university gym, but students remain shocked at the incident. » | Lewis Dean | Monday, January 19, 2015

Anti-Zionist Slogans Daubed at Israel Holocaust Museum

REUTERS.COM: Vandals spray-painted anti-Zionist slogans at Israel's Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial and police said on Monday they suspect radical ultra-Orthodox Jews opposed to Israel's existence were responsible.

"Hitler, thank you for the Holocaust," one slogan read.

Some of the graffiti, all written in Hebrew and daubed overnight on outside walls, accused Israel's founders of secretly encouraging the slaughter of six million Jews by the Nazis during World War Two to hasten the creation, in 1948, of the Jewish state.

"The Zionists wanted the Holocaust," said another slogan.

Many ultra-Orthodox Jews regard modern-day Israel as an abomination, believing the establishment of the Jewish state must await the coming of the Messiah. » | Writing by Allyn Fisher-Ilan, Editing by Jeffrey Heller | JERUSALEM | Monday, June 11, 2012
