Vandals sprayed bullets into the side of a new mosque under construction in Southwest Miami-Dade. This is not the first time the Islamic School of Miami has been targeted but members say this is the most violent attack yet...

Many are wondering if the shooting was motivated by the rising violence in the Middle East. Altaf Ali, from the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said in the past he has seen anti-Islamic incidents in the United States whenever there is an outbreak of violence in the Middle East.

Ali said the bullet holes in the side of the mosque are symbols of intolerance and ignorance.

"Any time a house of worship is desecrated and vandalized and attacked in such a manner then it should concern anyone of conscience," Ali said...

CAIR is urging Muslims nationwide to review security procedures using advice contained in its "Muslim Community Safety Kit."
