"Bias may have motivated this incident, but it could serve as a teaching moment for the perpetrator and for the community if it leads to greater understanding of the love Muslims have for Jesus, peace be upon him.”

A large painting of Jesus was left outside a mosque in Long Island in what police are investigating as a bias incident.
The Hillside Islamic Center in North New Hyde Park said an employee discovered the picture on Friday on a fence outside the mosque.
Mosque president Abdul Aziz Bhuyian told The Island Now surveillance from the building showed a man had cycled up to the mosque and hung the picture outside.
“I’m sure… he wanted to provoke,” Bhuyian told the website. “Had he had good intentions he would have come to us. We’re always here,” he said, adding: “We want to make sure the person doesn’t do the same thing to anybody else.”
