A number of flyers posted on signs throughout Winchester caused quite an uproar over their message.The flyers read, “Islam Is RIGHT About Women.” It is unclear if the message was meant to target Muslims or women, or both, but it was unnerving to those who saw it posted around the small town.“I think it’s disgusting,” said resident Juliet Wang. “It’s unsettling. It’s somewhat of a misconception that Islam, I guess, hates women.”“I’m not really sure what point they were trying to make, but either way, it was terrible,” said fellow resident Anita Davison.When Davison saw signs in Winchester center, she ripped them down, took them to police and shared the news in the Winchester Residents Facebook group.“It was just upsetting,” Davison said. “I just didn’t like it. It wasn’t necessary to be up and out in the streets.”Two posters were put up downtown and several more were found at Lincoln Elementary School, Winchester High School and the Winchester Unitarian Church.“I think it’s short-sighted. I think it’s unfortunate,” said Felicity Tuttle of the Winchester Multicultural Network. “I don’t think you’ve gained anything that you wanted.”Police say they are still investigating the reports to determine if any laws have been broken.

The flyers read, “Islam Is RIGHT About Women.” It is unclear if the message was meant to target Muslims or women, or both, but it was unnerving to those who saw it posted around the small town.

“I think it’s disgusting,” said resident Juliet Wang. “It’s unsettling. It’s somewhat of a misconception that Islam, I guess, hates women.”

“I’m not really sure what point they were trying to make, but either way, it was terrible,” said fellow resident Anita Davison.

When Davison saw signs in Winchester center, she ripped them down, took them to police and shared the news in the Winchester Residents Facebook group.

“It was just upsetting,” Davison said. “I just didn’t like it. It wasn’t necessary to be up and out in the streets.”

Two posters were put up downtown and several more were found at Lincoln Elementary School, Winchester High School and the Winchester Unitarian Church.
