Excerpt:
Attorney General Loretta Lynch is visiting a mosque in Virginia next week amid a sharp increase in hate crimes targeting Muslims.
Lynch is scheduled to visit the All Dulles Area Muslim Society Center in Sterling on Monday morning.
She will travel to New York City the following day for a discussion with gay, lesbian and transgender youth at Harvey Milk High School and to visit the Stonewall Inn and Stonewall National Monument.
It will be her first visit to a mosque in her role as attorney general.
