Jewish, Hindu and Muslim leaders from Queens gathered with lawmakers to denounce the possible hate crime committed at a Kew Gardens Hills Mosque earlier this month, and city Comptroller John Liu suggested some of the NYPD’s policies could make bias crimes more common.

One told the Post, “He stuck up his middle finger and cursed at everyone… No one can pray now because the rugs are completely soiled. It was disgusting… He calls us terrorists, yet he comes into our mosque and terrorizes other people… This is a true hate crime.”
