Marvin Odeshoo is a parishoner and a Korean War veteran. He said "we're from the Middle-East, but this is our country, we wouldn't do anything to harm the country at all." Sunday services were cancelled because of the damage which is estimated at 200-thousand-dollars. The church was planning to raise money Sunday for the relief-effort in New York. In the 5100 block of West Berenice, Palestinian native Munther Omar was having a barbecue when somebody threw bottles into his back yard. He found graffitti sprayed on his garage, with the words "Arabic Killa." The Police Civil Rights Division is investigating both incidents. : 2) : : Assyrian Church of the East - St. John's Parish : Reverend Father Charles Klutz 1421 W.
