Police are investigating antisemitic graffiti in an off-leash dog park in Calgary, Alberta.
The graffiti has a Star of David followed by “=666”, frequently described as the “number of the beast”, which is popularly associated with Satanism. Equating Judaism with Satanism is a common antisemitic canard, which first found prominence in Christianity, but is now frequently cited by non-Christians.
There was also graffiti that said “f*ck Islam”.
The graffiti has apparently been up for “several days”. Glen Tinckler, the resident who discovered and reported the graffiti, said “it’s a very friendly community and to see images like this is very disturbing”.
