Red spray-painted graffiti predicting “Islam Will Rule The World” have been surfacing throughout Windsor’s west end and on the riverfront.

WindsorStar (h/t Marvin W) Jake Couvillion is concerned about the amount of Islamic messages appearing throughout his neighbourhood. The graffiti has shown up on bus stops, on the wall of the Sandwich South Community Centre and even on a sign in front of the former Sutherland Building on College Street near McDonald’s. He said community groups have come out and painted over the graffiti only for it to reappear. Jake Couvillion is concerned about the amount of Islamic messages appearing throughout his neighbourhood.

He said community groups have come out and painted over the graffiti only for it to reappear.

“I was seriously in shock when I saw it,” he said. “I have three children and to see those messages in my neighbourhood is just a little too close to home.”

On Saturday more graffiti was spotted on the paved walkways throughout Malden Park and on the downtown Riverfront trail. The messages say “#Islam Will Rule The World Hosea 4.6, #57 Muslim Nations, #Sharia Over the U.N.” They are all written in red spray paint and appear to have the same handwriting.

The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation has 57 member nations, while Sharia is Islamic law.

“I’ve called the police several times, I’ve given my name and I’ve even called anonymously to report it but they are not doing anything,” he said. “They say they are going to send a cruiser out but nothing gets done. The community has to clean it up and that’s pretty sad.”

Staff Sgt. Ken Cribley said Windsor Police are aware of the Islam-filled graffiti. He said police started getting calls about five weeks ago when the messages first started to appear around the west end. He suspects one or two individuals are responsible for the graffiti, given it’s all similar.
