U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur, Sylvania Police Chief Gerald Sobb, and other community leaders voiced their support last night for a mosque in Sylvania whose high school was vandalized two days earlier.
"We wrap our arms around you today," Miss Kaptur (D., Toledo), said.
She praised members of Masjid Saad for "turning outward" instead of inward, and hosting a free dinner for the community last night. Chief Sobb said his department is working with the FBI to catch the perpetrators of "this senseless and stupid crime." Sometime between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. Thursday, vandals spray-painted swastikas and shot out windows at the Toledo Islamic Academy, a high school on the grounds of the mosque. Vandals also spray-painted a "white power" slogan on a truck.
