On August 6th a group of Muslims were verbally attacked after prayer in Bridgeport. The Muslim Coalition of Connecticut states:
The children were called “murderers” and the protesters using bullhorns yelled “Islam is a lie” and “Jesus hates Muslims”.
There have been protests against Mosques in Manhattan recently. Reminiscent of book burnings in Germany, there have also been burnings of the Qur’an. The Muslim Coalition of Connecticut and Muslim Leadership Council of Connecticut, along with various other faith organizations, organized and held a rally against Islamophobia this afternoon at the State Capitol.
