A string of vandalism targeting religious groups continued this week, as banners hanging at synagogues and churches in Brooklyn Heights were torn down by some not-so-merry pranksters.
The banners, which read, “We are all children of one God,” were put up after a September incident in which 22 swastikas were scrawled in several Brooklyn Heights locations, including on the walls of two Remsen Street synagogues.
Now, the symbolic gesture of unity by the Heights religious community is under assault.
Cops have not caught the original anti-Semitic vandals, despite a $10,000 reward offered by the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York. Because the investigation is ongoing, cops at the 84th Precinct declined to comment on the latest incident.
It is unclear if the new crime is connected to the swastika incident, or an unconnected random act of hate.

I would look at black muslim groups personally. But, I think that the NYPD is too intimidated by CAIR to really investigate the crimes as something to do with radical Wahhabism.
