Witnesses described the posters as containing racist slogans and portraits of Adolf Hitler.

The posters were attached to the glass doors and not the mosque’s white limestone brick, making cleanup easier. The posters appeared to have been scraped off before 10 a.m.

The mosque is near the intersection of Seyton Drive, near the spot where 17-year-old Nick Hickey was struck and killed two weeks ago.

A week later, shots were fired a block away.

Coun. Rick Chiarelli condemned the mosque incident and urged Bells Corners residents to take part in an upcoming Neighbourhood Watch meeting.
