Treyger Denounces Anti-Muslim Flyers Found in Bensonhurst Building

Jillian Jorgensen

Police are investigating anti-Muslim flyers calling members of the religion “terrorists and bastards” that were apparently left in a Bensonhurst apartment building, City Councilman Mark Treyger said Tuesday.

A copy of the flyer was posted to Twitter account of Take On Hate, a grassroots effort to “challenge prejudice of Arab & Muslim Americans” run by the National Network for Arab American Communities.

It reads, in all capital letters: “Islamists! Go to your own country!!! USA hates you!!! You are terrorists and bastards!!! You are the second Holocaust!!!!”

There are also clip-art style pictures of a woman in a burka and the word Islam inside circles with slashes through them.
