One includes a car parked outside of the Mankato Islamic Center. Author: Sharon Yoo Updated: 6:09 PM CDT August 2, 2021
MANKATO, Minn. Drive by the Mankato Islamic Center s parking lot, and something might catch your eye. This is because somebody committed a crime that is really abhorrent in any culture or faith, Abi Sabri said. It s not because we want to display those words in our center.
Sabri is talking about the white Toyota Camry that now bears several words that are derogatory towards women. It s been spray-painted in a maroon shade.
Sabri is one of the co-founders and board members of the Islamic Center there. He said they found the car like that Saturday morning. He added the car belonged to one of the community members who had asked to park his car there while he figured out his finances to fix it up.
