REDMOND, Wash. (AP) — A woman says she found an anti-Muslim note on her car after she and her young daughter parked the vehicle briefly to go into a coffee shop in the Seattle suburb of Redmond.

On Tuesday, the Washington state chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations called a news conference and the Muslim woman talked about Monday’s incident. She did not want to be identified by name.

Seattle television stations say the note displayed for reporters said in English “We don’t Muslims in America” and a message written in Arabic told the pair to leave.

Redmond police say they are investigating.
