Children as young as two years old were not spared from the screed, which was caught on video.

On this occasion a video has emerged of a drunk American verbally abusing and threatening a Muslim family on a beach.
In a video uploaded to YouTube by user Noria Alward, an intoxicated man hurls a confused and unhinged mix of Islamophobic insults referencing Sharia Law and ISIS.

In 2016 RT reported that an extremist group of white men in Texas was training against a Muslim “uprising” by dipping their bullets in pig’s blood and bacon grease to target victims.
In April, Texas police launched an investigation after copies of the Koran were found in toilets on the campus of the University of Texas, in an apparent hate crime equating the holy book with toilet paper. A number of elected and aspiring Texas politicians have also made highly incendiary comments about Islam in recent times.
