شعارات و رموز، مكتوبة مرسومة علي الجدران بشكل علني، لإظهار العداء للمسلمين
"anti-muslim" is the same, in structure, as the famous phrase "anti-semetic".
In Arabic, there is not one word that would offer the same meaning as "Graffiti" does, so we need to replace the word "graffiti" with its definition and then translate that definition in the light of the Arabic vocabulary, linguistic structure and cultural norms, so that we pick the words and the structure that is best understood and recognized by the Arab people.

correction: there is letter 'و' between مكتوبة مرسومة. So, it is "مكتوبة و مرسومة".
Also " بشكل علني" might be better as "علناً/علانيةً"
