Anyone 'Who Slaughters Muslims’ Will Be Paid Says Note At Silver Spring Mosque

SILVER SPRING, MD — A threatening letter was found in the mailbox of the Islamic Education Society of Maryland on Veirs Mill Road in Silver Spring Monday night, according to reports.

According to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), officials with the Islamic Education Society of Maryland opened the facility's mailbox and found an envelope with a note inside that offered an undisclosed amount of money to anyone "who slaughtered Muslims."

The note also reportedly had a drawing of two individuals with "arrows piercing their hearts," according to police reports.

CAIR, the nation's largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, called on state and federal law enforcement authorities to investigate this threatening note.

"Many faith communities, including Muslims, are increasingly alarmed by the emboldened hate growing throughout our state," said CAIR Maryland Outreach Manager Dr. Zainab Chaudry. "We urge federal, state and local law enforcement authorities to conduct a prompt and thorough investigation into this disturbing incident and to bring the perpetrators to justice."
