Hate crime charges are still possible in connection with a spree of Islamic-themed graffiti sprayed across Windsor, according to police. "A hate crime actually requires the consent of the attorney general for any proceedings," explained Sgt. "We, the undersigned, a concerned group of Muslim community leaders and community members leaders and community members at large, request that the Windsor Police Service re-consider the nature of the charges," it reads. Ahmed Khalifa said Windsor's Muslim community felt targeted by the graffiti and wants to know why it is not being considered a hate crime. Khalifa argues the fact the graffiti seems to target just Muslims strengthens claims the incidents could be a hate crime.
