Worshippers who arrived on Sunday morning at the Islamic Center of Hawthorne found the words &lsquo;Jesus is the way&rsquo; spray-painted on the building, said Christopher Port, a spokesman for the Hawthorne Police.
The word &ldquo;Jesus&rdquo; was also spray-painted in white on an outer wall of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Baitus-Salaam Mosque in Hawthorne, he said, adding an object resembling a hand grenade was found in its driveway.
After arrest The vandalism came two days after a person was arrested in nearby Riverside County and charged with arson, hate crime and burglary for setting fire to a mosque, the Islamic Society of Coachella Valley.
The mosque is about 75 miles from San Bernardino, where a Pakistani-origin couple opened indiscriminate firing on fire December 2 at a holiday luncheon and killed 14 people.
Earlier case Two days before the fire in Coachella, the police in Buena Park, California, opened a hate crimes investigation after a Sikh temple was vandalised.
