    Los Angeles, CA – A civil rights group has called for more police protection of mosques after several in California received letters that praised President-elect Donald Trump and threatened Muslim genocide.

    The Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, said the same handwritten, photocopied letter was sent last week to the Islamic Center of Long Beach, the Islamic Center of Claremont and the Evergreen Islamic Center in San Jose, the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday.

    The letter was addressed to “the children of Satan” and it was signed by “American for A Better Way.” The L.A. area mosques received it Wednesday and the San Jose mosque on Thursday.

    “There’s a new sheriff in town — President Donald Trump. He’s going to cleanse America and make it shine again. And, he’s going to start with you Muslims,” the letter states, according to CAIR. “And, he’s going to do to you Muslims what Hitler did to the jews (sic).”

    Hussam Ayloush, executive director of CAIR-LA, said people at the L.A. County mosques were disheartened by the hateful letters and added that the “irresponsible, hateful rhetoric” of the Trump campaign has fueled “a level of vulgarity, vile hatred and anger among many self-proclaimed Trump supporters.”

    “I’m not saying (Trump) created racist people,” he said. “He normalized it. While he might say he’s not responsible, and I respect that, I remind President-elect Trump that he has a responsibility to act as a president for all Americans.”

    San Jose Police Department spokesman Sgt. Enrique Garcia said police have opened an investigation and are treating it as a “hate-motivated incident.”

    wait a minute …
    Haven’t the Muslims spent the last 20 years trying to convince us that the holocaust is an elaborate hoax being perpetrated by the Jews to win sympathy?!?

    Well I would surely hope and condemn Trump if he did what Hitler did. We should never round up kill and torture people. But I do hope we start racial profiling, monitoring mosques, perhaps compiling a registry etc…. The muslims really have themselves to blame for this hate. And no its not analogous to Hitler and jews. There is a large amount of muslims out to kill in the most horrific of manners. Even if its a small percent, they have proven time and time again that they are formidable enough to reck havoc in the most viscous animalistic manners. I have no piety for muslims. And frankly if I were muslim I would disown my religon of hate.

    Hitler yemach shemo. Did not allow the Jews to be Deported out from Poland and Other occupied countries. When some Jews wanted to run away Poland, the nazies captured them near the border of Romania and sent them to the Gas chambers.
    So don’t compare the extreme ideas of Mr. Trump to German Hitler.

    These people are afraid?! Yeah right. As if anyone has ever targeted them for being muslims…now their brethren around the world, on the other hand, in the names of isis, al Qaeda, hamass, hizbollah, PA, etc., have been targeting innocents for ages! Let them redirect their anger at their brethren, not the rest of the civilized world who only want to protect their citizens from that barbarism!

    Hitler sealed the borders and imprisoned the Jews to murder them all. Arabs are all free to emigrate out of the USA and there are many Arab countries to go to.

    It was probably one of their own who wrote this and sent it to the mosque as they always have to be the victims.

    Each of the comments 1-5 are terrific. There is no comparison.

    What most of the commentators on this page don’t realize is that the writer of the letter wasn’t using a holocaust reference as a historical comparison. The writer of the letter probably agrees with what Hitler did and is hoping Trump will do the same to Muslims and Jews. And while delusional idiots like the writer (and the media) are wrong about Trump, this should still scare us.
