Authorities in California are investigating possible hate crimes after two local Islamic centers have discovered destroyed remnants of Qur’ans outside of their mosques.
The incidents occurred outside the Masjid Annur Islamic Center in Sacramento and the Islamic Center of Davis on Saturday and Friday respectively, according to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) of the Sacramento Valley.
The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department said that a sheriff’s deputy was waved down by a citizen Saturday afternoon and was led to a burned Qur’an filled with bacon, hanging by a handcuff from a fence.
