The mayor of a Texas town is calling for Homeland Security and the FBI to investigate a large flag with Arabic writing found hanging off a downtown building.
Huffington Post reports that the flag read, “Love for all,” in Arabic.
But Lubbock Mayor Glen Robertson said he’s still “concerned on several levels” and wants federal authorities to investigate.
“It has been brought to my attention that an Arabic flag has been hung from one of the upper floors of the Omni building,” Robertson said in a letter sent to City Manager James Loomis. “I am requesting that the flag be removed immediately, that we get an accurate translation of the flag, and that Chief Stevens notify the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, and our Lubbock County Sheriff’s Department.”
“I fully understand that we must gather more facts before we make a knee jerk reaction but I am concerned on several levels,” he added.
The flag, which includes a heart, was posted around Valentine’s Day.
