Muslim students at the University of Houston are calling for action after an alleged Islamophobic attack during a campus event left the community shaken.
According to the UH Muslim Student Association (MSA), the incident occurred Thursday, October 30, at Lynn Eusan Park. An individual reportedly entered the group’s reserved space, shouted anti-Islamic messages through a megaphone, and threw a copy of the Qur’an into a bonfire.
“Our members were in the middle of prayer—a moment of sacred stillness where we face one direction and cannot look around, speak, or react,” the MSA said in a social media post. Video of the event shows the disturbance unfolding sometime in the evening.
