Islamophobic flyers and graffiti found on Western’s campus

Islamophobic flyers and graffiti have been found on Western Washington University’s campus on three separate occasions since early August, University Police records show.

The flyer-size sheets show a photo of a demonstration with words written with what appear to be a Sharpie-like marker that call for the extermination of “Islamo-Nazi scum” and “Islamo-Fascist Vermin.” The flyers also made derogatory statements about gay people, called the Democratic Party fascists, and mentioned wanting free speech not political correctness, the records show.

Other anti-Islam statements were written over several posters on bulletin boards in Miller and Haggard halls.
