unbelieveable. That's almost an act of war

Pretty interesting (if not particularly surprising) the promotion of inter-community hatred as well. "two Bristol graffiti artists... were asked to spray-paint the Islamic shahada - the declaration of faith - in Arabic on a defunct Debenhams in the city centre. One was also asked to spray a Quranic verse about the "devil's handiwork" on a Conservative Club in the city." "... provided Roman Lavrynovych [low-level criminal] with an anti-Muslim poster, designed to appear like it had been written by a Hindu by referencing the 1992 destruction of an ancient Indian mosque by right-wing Hindu groups. "Every mosque closed = 100 fewer crimes," the poster said."
