The sign announced plans for the mosque.
Mukilteo police Officer Myron Travis says about a half-dozen paragraphs in the fliers contained "anti-Islamic rhetoric."
Mosque President Mohammed Riaz Khan says he's working with religious groups to schedule a meeting this month to answer the public's questions.
