'All Muslims are terrorists' says mosque vandal

Miami-Dade police have charged two teens in the latest vandalism of a West Kendall mosque and school that has been targeted twice this year. Michael Derek Lobo and Juan Carlos Gonzalez-Vaca, both 17, were arrested Thursday night at Killian Senior High School, according to a police affidavit.

The two are accused of walking onto the property of the Islamic School of Miami, 11699 SW 147th Ave., on the night of June 26 and smashing two windows on the school's west wall with an iron rod. They covered their faces while on the property and also slashed two tires of a 2003 Dodge van, according to their arrest reports.

Gonzalez-Vaca told police that the vandalism had been planned for months. He said ''all Muslims are terrorists,'' according to the report.
