đź’¨ Abstract

Following recent vandalism incidents at mosques in Texas and California, Muslim leaders are bolstering security measures. These acts of vandalism, which included spray-painted Star of David symbols, fueled concerns amid heightened tensions due to the Israel-Hamas war and increased Islamophobia. The Counsel on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) reported a record number of complaints in 2024, highlighting widespread discrimination and bigotry.
