Muslims en Route to Morning Prayer Attacked in Texas and Florida
----------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, police are investigating at least two attacks against Muslims
over the weekend. In Houston, Texas, a Muslim doctor was ambushed,
stabbed and shot multiple times by three men as he was on his way to a
mosque for morning prayer on Sunday. He has survived. This came one day
after a man in Florida was beaten outside a mosque in Fort Pierce on his
way to morning prayers. The Florida branch of CAIR says the attacker
said, "You Muslims need to get back to your country."
