A book store in Colorado has been vandalized several times in the past year because of its name: Isis.
Denver-based Isis Books & Gifts, which also offers psychic readings seven days per week, said that it has been vandalized five times in the past year due to its name.
The owners say the store’s name comes from Isis, the Egyptian goddess of healing and motherhood. It has nothing to do with the Islamic State, abbreviated as ISIS, ISIL, or Daesh, they said.
