A mosque in California has been left damaged after an unknown attacker hurled a Molotov cocktail at the religious building.
Someone threw a Molotov cocktail into a mosque in Tracy, CA, just the latest in a series of acts of vandalism against Muslim houses of worship.
Islamic groups in the US are calling for an investigation into whether it was a hate crime, but police insist that without a suspect the motive for the attack remains unclear.
Authorities are investigating after the Sacramento Valley chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations sustained suspicious fire damage.
No one was inside the mosque at the time, and the Islamic Center’s surveillance camera was not on, but the San Joaquin Sheriff’s Office collected shards of glass from the scene to test.
“It doesn’t happen accidentally, so they have certain hate involved”, Saifi Raniwala, a member of the Islamic Center’s board of trustees said.

A new report from CAIR suggests there have been more than 70 incidents targeting mosques in the past year alone, following a slew of radical Islamic terrorist attacks targeting Western civilization including several Paris attacks. “We urge law enforcement authorities to investigate this incident as a hate crime and to bring the perpetrators to justice”.
