The worshippers at the Eugene Islamic Center are worried about their security. Inside a mosque in the college town of Eugene, a half-dozen men prostrated themselves on a carpet while another man led the midday prayers. A man recently appeared outside the mosque and threatened to kill Muslims. The victims were trying to protect two teenage girls, one of whom was wearing a hijab, as the man shouted anti-Islamic slurs. Barely two weeks later, an assailant stabbed two men to death and wounded a third on a commuter train in Portland, 180 kilometres to the north. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
