RNA - Authorities are investigating after The Islamic Center of Boston in Wayland received a "hate letter" that referenced Donald Trump, according to The Boston Globe.
The same letter has been sent to Islamic organizations across the country, and purportedly describes Muslims as being "vile and filthy people" who will be confronted with a "day of reckoning" due to the fact that "there's a new sheriff in town -- President Donald Trump."
The letter further says that Trump will do to Muslims what "Hitler did to the Jews."
Mosques in California, Michigan, Ohio, Colorado, Florida, Rhode Island, and a number of other states have also received the exact same letter.
The letter that The Islamic Center of Boston received appears to be a scanned copy of a letter that was written by hand.
Wayland Police Lieutenant Patrick Swanick said that detectives are investigating the incident.
John Robbins, the executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Massachusetts commented that law enforcement had been "very responsive" so far and that "the FBI appears to be taking this seriously."
