REDMOND, Wash. -- Police are investigating a note left on a car, targeting an American Muslim woman and her daughter.
The note "We don't Muslims in America" (apparently the word "want" was left out) was written in English. But there was also Arabic writing, translated to say "We don't want Muslims in America. Go away."
"We live in a very diversified and tolerant neighborhood here. I've never had any problem, " said the mother, who did not want to be identified. "I can't believe that someone could hate me because of my religious beliefs."
The note was left on the victims' car around 4 p.m. Monday while they were inside a Starbucks at Bella Botega Mall. The daughter, who is in a wheelchair with a knee injury, told her mother the note scared her.
"She was actually scared that someone was following us."
Redmond police are investigating, which is a relief to the mother.
"People care and the police care and the media care and I'm sure lots of Americans care. And that was really a good lesson for me and I think it's the best lesson that I hope my children will take away from this situation," she said.
"They are picking on a woman bringing her daughter in a wheelchair. That is real cowardice."
Anyone who may have seen the person who placed the note on the car is asked to call Redmond Police.
