SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) -- Catholic Community Services Utah (CCS) and Masjid Al Noor (Noor Mosque) have called for unity and understanding following what they described as a "hate crime" at Noor Mosque in Salt Lake City.
On June 3, a man was caught on video attaching a flag with split designs of the Israeli and American flags to Noor Mosque. No one was harmed and no property damage was reported, but it was reported to Salt Lake City Police and the FBI.
In a press release from Aden Batar of Catholic Community Services and Dr. Salman Masud, former president of the Islamic Society of Greater Salt Lake, they wrote:
"While no physical damage was done, this incident was clearly intended to provoke and intimidate our congregation, and we believe it should be investigated under bias crime statute
