When Mahrukh and Shoaib Ahmad got a call from their apartment manager, saying that their home in Fairfax County had been burglarized while they were visiting relatives in New York for the weekend, they rushed home to find out what had been stolen.
They weren’t prepared for what they discovered when they got there.
The burglar or burglars had spotted the illustrations of Koranic verses on the Ahmads’ walls and had broken the frames, the couple said. Someone had taken their Koran from the shelf and torn out its pages. On the wall, they had written in tall, wobbly black letters: “F— Muslims.”
“It was a complete mess. It was like a tornado came into our apartment. Basically everything that was over $100, it was gone,” Mahrukh said. The valuable jewelry she received for her wedding was gone, she said, as was the jewelry given as gifts to her daughter when she was born. But what hurt the most was looking at the pages of her holy book, lying on the floor, Mahrukh said.
