Coordinated armed protests at American mosques continued years after Park51
Evidence
In recent years, this activity has not abated. The double standard against Muslims remains. In October 2015, a nationwide network of right-wing anti-Muslim “patriot” groups orchestrated nearly two dozen coordinated armed protests at Islamic mosques across America. I believe these racist bullies intended nothing less than to silence the First Amendment rights of nearly ten million American Muslims. — Arsalan Iftikhar, Fear of a Muslim Planet_ Global…, 577
