13h agoAn Islamic-American group called for a hate crime investigation Saturday after the sign of a Paterson elementary school was found vandalized.
The incident happened at the Dr. Hani Awadallah School in which the "allah" part of the last name is scribbled over in black markings.
The New Jersey Chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations called on the hate crime investigation since only "Allah" was defaced and not the whole sign.
The incident also happened during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
