Mosques experience the same spatial-invasion violence once directed at Black families.

Evidence

Mosques, like public housing projects, present the threat of spatial invasion into white spaces just as Black and brown families do. The kinds of violence used against mosques are the same as those used historically against Black families moving into white neighborhoods. These include large mobs protesting outside the building, rocks and projectiles being thrown through windows, gun shots being fired into the building, defacing the building with racial graffiti, arson, repeated phone calls and messaging with threats and profanity, and the harassment of people in the building, including bodily harm and murder. — Cyra Akila Choudhury, Racecraft and Identity in the Emergence…, 505

Minnesota similarly began receiving phone calls and threatening messages from the moment it opened, and in July 2017, it was bombed with an IED just before morning prayers. Note that this is a mosque that includes services for families and children. Across the United States, there have been armed protests at mosques, Qur’an burnings, people followed and attacked, people shot and stabbed near mosques, hijabwearing women have experienced violence, shots have been fired through mosques, rocks thrown through windows, fire-bombings, arson, graffiti, pigs heads, bacon thrown in mosques, violent messages left on mosque phones, and harassment of religious leaders. Of course, the authorities have not reacted the way they did in the 1950s and the legal landscape has changed, however, it is the similarity in the racecraft and violence that is noteworthy here. — Cyra Akila Choudhury, Racecraft and Identity in the Emergence…, 509

Categorization

• XREF: Directly parallels the ADDENDUM article on trees but more centrally the housing-segregation thesis: spatial racecraft against Muslims mirrors tools honed on Black Americans from earlier chapters. — connects to: Spatial racecraft against Muslims mirrors housing segregation tools honed on Black Americans — Cyra Akila Choudhury, Racecraft and Identity in the Emergence…, 468; Racialized vigilante murder polices neighborhood boundaries against Black and Muslim bodies alike — Cyra Akila Choudhury, Racecraft and Identity in the Emergence…, 490
• ADDENDUM: Not one of the three articles; skip. Instead this supports ch70/ch72 already-extracted spatial racecraft claims.
• SHARE: The catalogue of specific violence types — pigs’ heads, bacon thrown, IEDs before morning prayers — would interest a scholar of anti-Muslim hate-crime surveillance data.
