A mosque in the northern Israeli Arab village of Baqa al-Gharbiya was vandalized with anti-Islamic graffiti on Sunday morning.

The mosque in the village was covered with graffiti in Hebrew insulting Islam's prophet.

Mosque imam Sheikh Kiri Achsander told the media on Sunday that "after Fajr (dawn) prayers we exited the mosque and found the graffiti on the wall. These types of incidents keep happening again and again, this time it happened in Baqa."

"Unfortunately, the [Zionist] government still does not take proper care of such incidents, thus encouraging racists to continue actions, which damage the sanctity of holy places and the Prophet Mohammed," he was quoted as saying.

"There is anger. After the incident lots of people arrived at the mosque and expressed rage at the act and demanded that it not be ignored."

"We want to send a message to those doing the graffiti that they are villains and we refuse to get upset by their actions," he continued.

"The goal of such attacks is to make life difficult for us. But we are here to say they will not darken our days, we are here and we will continue to be here. Such graffiti will not deter us. Arabs and Muslims are united in their zero tolerance to this kind of nonsense, the sheikh said  .
