Islamic Center at Rutgers University Vandalized During Eid al-Fitr

The vandalism, considered a hate crime by authorities, occurred amid tensions over anti-Israel sentiments on campus.

The Center for Islamic Life at Rutgers University was broken into and vandalized on the eve of Eid al-Fitr, a significant Muslim holiday.
Authorities, including New Jersey's Governor and Attorney General, have condemned the act as Islamophobic and are investigating it as a hate crime.
No suspects have been identified yet, though the incident follows recent campus disruptions involving anti-Israel protests.
The vandalism included shattered windows, damaged religious and electronic items, and a torn Palestinian flag.
Officials stress the importance of safety and inclusivity at Rutgers, asserting that hate has no place in the community.
