The incident on Christmas Eve illustrates a disturbing trend of escalating harassment towards Muslims in San Francisco, highlighting the urgent need for community safety.
Zahra Billoo of CAIR noted, 'We are experiencing a 30-year high in Muslim, anti-Palestinian racism... our call is to elected officials to send a clear message that hate will not be tolerated.'
Zuhaib Siddique, secretary of the Bernal Heights mosque, emphasized that the harassment is becoming a recurring problem, stating, 'We've had run-ins with him, about three to four times.'
The actions of the harasser, utilizing a toy hammer to demean worshippers and ripping pages from the Quran, symbolize the unaccepting environment many Muslims face in their places of worship.
