Daily News | Northwest Philadelphia mosque vandalized with graffiti, civil rights group calls for investigation
Vandalism on the Masjidullah Center for Human Excellence in Northwest Philadelphia. Security footage captured a suspect spray-painting the mosque on Feb. 24. Officials urge police to investigate the incident.For the better part of a century, one Northwest Philadelphia building has demonstrated how faiths coexist in peace. The Masjidullah Center for Human Excellence started as a synagogue and became a church before reopening as one of the largest mosques in the region.
Images posted to the mosque’s Instagram show “Jesus Christ” spray-painted several times on the facility’s doors. Another wall was vandalized with a star of David with an “X” drawn over it, among other symbols. A report was filed Sunday afternoon, and detectives are investigating, according to a spokesperson for the department.
In 2019, the Masjidullah Center was the target of another vandalism when suspects threw rocks at the facility’s front door, shattering part of it.
