    A police officer on routine patrol noticed the messages at about 4 a.m., and the paint was reportedly still wet.

    One of the messages said, “Soldiers will avenge.” Police said other hateful words were mixed with profanity.

    The vandalism comes right after President Barack Obama’s speech in Cairo addressing the Muslim world.

    “I don’t want to speculate as to it being related to the president’s speech. However, it is rather interesting with the timing of the graffiti and the timing of the speech,” said Sgt. Tom Bruce from the Cypress Police Department.

    Authorities said the center has not reported any threats or any problems in the past.

    Workers immediately removed the graffiti that was spray painted on the walls on the front of the center, as well as the front door and the concrete sidewalk out front.

    The persons who did this, yidden or otherwise, should be charged with hate crimes and thrown in jail This is the SAME as painting swastikas on a shul and should be treated in the same way.

    This is a terrible thing to do. I am sure that the ones who did this are not Jewish. We all know how this feels and it is a very bad thing to do.
    I don’t agree with the Muslims, but this is America and I am Jewish. My religion does not teach me to kill those who are not Jewish.

    Why would anyone even think that Jews did this? Nor does there seem to be any particular reason to think it was motivated by hatred for Islam; how is it different from the thousands of incidents at churches, shuls, and other public buildings that go on all the time? Nearly all of them are motivated by nothing but teenage boredom and destructiveness.

    In any event, there is no history of hate crimes against Moslems in America; all the widely publicised incidents have turned out to have been done by the Moslems themselves.
