"The most jarring thing about the video is clearly the fact there are children involved, indoctrinated to hate people based off their belief system or what they look like or the color they are. You can see that unfolding in real time," said Imraan Siddiqi, the executive director of the Arizona chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

Albert Cahn, legal director for CAIR's New York chapter, also said the incident seems to reflect a growing pattern. "It's always disappointing when we have vandalism at a house of worship," Cahn said. "Queens is a symbol of diversity and inclusion." Cahn said there has been a 10-fold increase in the last two years of hate-related or discriminatory incidents directed toward Muslims across New York State. "It's mosques, children in school, discrimination at work or Muslims just walking down the street," he said, adding that the Hate Crimes Task Force was a valuable partner in their mission. Cahn said his organization and the city must remain vigilant whether the source of the graffiti turns out to be a person capable of violence or teenagers pulling what they might have considered to be a prank. "Regardless of context, it is incumbent on the community to condemn this hatred," he said.
