Hate Incident At Tempe Mosque Leads To Two Arrests

TEMPE, AZ – Two women who posted videos on Facebook of themselves harassing Muslims and removing items from the Islamic Center of Tempe are under arrest. Tahnee Gonzales and Elizabeth Dauenhauer are charged were booked on charges of suspicion of third-degree burglary.

The two have posted several videos over the past few weeks of them making anti-Muslim statements, harassing Muslim people and the video of them at the mosque.

In the video, one records the other as they approach the fence of the property. There's a sign that says, "No Trespassing" and one saying that guns are prohibited.

One of the women – they are accompanied by three children – is heard asking one of the kids to take her gun back to the car.

They then enter the center and start removing posters and brochures.

As they make their way through the property, they continue to make anti-Muslim statements, at one point referring to Muslims as "Satan worshippers" who "hate America.

Gonzales posted several of the videos on her Facebook but took down the one of them at the mosque. Several other people, however, had reposted the video.

In one of the other videos, it appears tart the young children spicked up on what the women are saying.

"They smell like goat," a young girl says, later telling a boy, "Be careful, because Muslims are waiting to rape you."

If convicted, the woman could face stiffer penalties because Tempe police say that it could be considered a hate crime.
