Star of David, biblical verses spray-painted, knife and threatening letter left at house of Prof. Yaakov Malkin, director of the International Institute for Humanistic Secular Judaism.

Vandals spray-painted graffiti at the home of Prof. Yaakov Malkin, director of Tmura, the International Institute for Humanistic Secular Judaism, in Jerusalem's German Colony Thursday morning.

A Star of David and the phrases "Psalms 139: 21-24" and "Destruction of Amalek" were scrawled on the fence surrounding his home. A knife and an envelope containing a threatening letter were also found at the scene, reading "a Jew whose hands are bloody resides in your street. This Jew received a severe warning."

The letter to Malkin said, among other things, that "this is a warning for you to immediately end all atheist and heretic activity that you take part in or lead. You must absolutely and immediately stop your actions to dismiss and incite the people of Israel from their God."

Atheists seem to be a target around certain places these days from many groups.

Nothing worse than religious extremists, hope they catch them and educate them such extremism is wrong after they have been sentenced appropriately for the crime

Such a pessimist, you were once religious yourself were you not?
Through education, did you not yourself open your eyes to religion?
You do realise we do have education systems in prisons, which hopes to help rehabilitate people
Granted that much more difficult with extremists, but again never say never.
Look at Maajid Nawaz for example
