The following is summarized from this Oklahoman article:
An Oklahoma man was charged with a felony on Wednesday for sending a threatening letter to his mosque that contained a white powder meant to be mistaken for being anthrax, and he was also charged for spray painting anti-Islamic messages on a Halal Grocery Store that was adjacent to the Mosque, then later when questioned by authorities he admitted that the Imam of the Mosque told him to do it.
Justin William Bouma, 32, was charged with a felony count of a crime of “terrorist hoax,” and he was also charged with misdemeanor counts for painting the graffiti.
Bouma has been an attendee of the mosque in the past, and he became a suspect when authorities discovered him sending threatening emails to other mosque members.
The graffiti he painted referred to Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), saying “CAIR not welcome,” as well as mentioning ISIS.
The Imam of the Oklahoma City mosque, Imad Enchassi, called the FBI after opening the package. After the power was tested, it was determined that it was laundry detergent that Bouma placed in the envelope.
Bouma admitted to police on August 18 that he sent the letter to the Mosque and that he painted the anti-Muslim graffiti on the grocery, and he also said that the Imam told him to do it, the affidavit states.

The following is from CAIR’s PR campaign about the attacks where the Imam Imad Enchassi details how he was supposedly victimized:
“Saad Mohammed, director of Islamic news and information for the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City…
Mohammed is chairman of the board for CAIR-Oklahoma.
“I was personally targeted, I think because I’m the chairman of CAIR and I’m the director of news and information for the Islamic Society so who better to target,” he said. “One statement said ‘Saad is not welcome here.’”
Another statement said “CAIR not welcome here,” and the vandals also wrote messages directed at the Islamic Society. The vandalism also mentioned the terrorist group ISIS.
Mohammed said he was not concerned that vandals targeted him by name in one of their messages. He said he takes precautions on a regular basis when he is out in the community so he has no special concerns now.
The Muslim leader said he was pleased with the response from the society’s youth group and the Interfaith Alliance.
“The response was outstanding,” he said. “We will continue educating people and pushing forward and try to bridge this gap of hate.”
