  "account": "The attorney general of British Columbia has denounced Islamophobia following a reported incident at the Fleetwood Islamic Centre in Surrey. The congregation discovered the mosque had been defaced with threatening graffiti, including the words \"get out or die\" and \"Islam is trash\" on its walls. Additionally, pieces of raw bacon were found hanging from a door handle and near the windows. The Muslim community is cooperating with police, and the situation is reminiscent of a similar incident in Quebec City before a mass shooting in 2017.",
