Two Islamic mosques were threatened and vandalized in Texas and Florida in the last couple of days as unrest and fear continues to grip people all around the world. The anti-Muslim rhetoric and action has been ramping up everywhere in the world and many Muslims are living with fear and anxiety constantly tugging at them everyday.

In Pfugerville, Texas, a mosque was vandalized, according to USA Today. The Pflugerville mosque is located downtown in a shopping center storefront. As people arrived for morning prayers on Monday they were greeted with a desecrated Quran which is Islam’s holy book. The Quran was torn and was covered in human excrement.

Police responded to a call from the mosque at 6:18 a.m. Central time and found the feces-covered holy book resting at the front door to the mosque. There were no additional threats made against the mosque and there was no physical damage save for the desecrated Quran. Pflugerville is a town of a little over 54,000 and is just 17 miles from Austin.

A spokesman for the mosque and the Austin area Muslim community stated that they had never had such a thing happen in the nearly four years that they have been in the city. He also went on to say that the people who murdered all of those people in Paris did not speak for the world’s 1.6 billion Muslims.

Many of the townspeople brought flowers to show support for the Muslims and a little boy even showed up with a $20 donation that he got from emptying out his piggy bank.

In Pinellas County, Florida, there were reports that two mosques were being physically threated with vandalism and even possible firebombing. A pair of criminally threatening voice mails were received by the Islamic Society of Pinellas county and by a mosque in nearby St. Petersburg on Friday.

Tampa police identified the caller and have questioned him about the threatening phone calls. The caller threatened to firebomb the mosques and threatened retaliation for the attacks in Paris. The Tampa police, however, decided that the threats were not credible and that the caller had no intention of carrying out the destruction.

The Muslim community in south Florida has expressed confusion and concern and they ask what exactly the police and the FBI need in order to consider a threat against them to be credible.
