When Mahmoud Elkadri arrived at the mosque in Cold Lake, Alta., early Friday morning, he was met with a disturbing sight.

The words "Go home" and "Canada" had been sprayed across the front face of the building sometime over the night. Vandals had also smashed two of the mosque’s windows.

"When you’re coming in the morning for a peaceful prayer, it is hard," said Elkadri, who is one of the mosque’s board members.

"This is our home. My kids have been born and raised in Cold Lake. … I have been in Cold Lake since 1996."
