ANTI-ISLAM GRAFFITI SCRIBBLED ON BUILDING IN PORTLAND HALAL MARKET PLACE…….

It was graffiti vandalism, not a ‘hate crime’.

Being anti-Islam is not irrational, nor necessarily an expression of hatred toward individual people, any more than being anti-Communist/Nazi socialism is. Writing graffiti on someone else’s property however, is a misdemeanor.

Faith groups urge police to ‘prosecute those responsible’ for graffiti on the Portland Halal Market that referred to Allah and included a sexual epithet.

Portland police continue to investigate the spray-painting of an offensive message on a halal market in Portland, but had brought no charges by late Monday.

The graffiti was sprayed onto the Portland Halal Market on St. John Street at 5 a.m. Sunday. In red capital letters on the windows and brick on a side of the building, it referred to Allah and included a sexual epithet. Allah was misspelled as “Alah.” Police described it as a hate crime.
