A Muslim civil rights organization is calling on police to investigate a message left at the home of an Iraqi family in Dundalk that referred to them as a terrorist.
 
The Council on American-Islamic Relations said the message, left on the door of the family's home, said "Terrorist, Leave, No one wants you here, Your kind is a disgrace, 9/11 was your fault."
 
The message also included a crude drawing of a Muslim woman wearing a hijab, or a head scarf, and holding a bomb with the comment, "take that (expletive) off your head."
 
The Washington-based organization said the message is the latest in a series of hate incidents directed at American Muslims, mosques and Islamic centers nationwide in the past week.
