The North Austin Muslim Community Center was vandalized twice last month.
From KUT:
In the weeks after a series of vandalisms at the North Austin Muslim Community Center, Imam Islam Mossaad says prayer services have continued as usual, but the mosque has stepped up security.
Around 1:30 a.m. on Sept. 2, someone slashed the tires on a vehicle in the mosque’s parking lot. The building’s front doors and windows were also shattered.
