(CNN) - Gunshots fired into a mosque in Connecticut. Armed men protesting the "Islamization of America" outside Islamic centers in Texas. Death threats called in to mosques in Florida, Maryland and Virginia.
Anecdotal evidence suggests 2015, a year bookended by murderous attacks carried out in the name of Islam, has been one of the most intensely anti-Muslim periods in American history. A new study shared with CNN puts statistical heft behind that suspicion.
Through December 8, American mosques and Islamic centers have been the victims of vandalism, harassment and anti-Muslim bigotry at least 63 times this year, the Council on American-Islamic Relations says in the study. That's the highest number since the Muslim civil rights group began keeping track in 2009 and a threefold increase over last year.
The previous high was 53 incidents in 2010, during the controversy over the "ground zero mosque" near the site of the 9/11 attack in New York. But many of those incidents concerned bias at zoning hearings for new mosques. This year's hostilities have a sharper edge.

A bad year for American muslims, huh?
Now I don't endorse any illegal retribution or harassment against anyone but let's take a look how islam has affected Americans.
The atrocities of September 11, 2001 notwithstanding, since President Obama was inaugurated, there have been at least 65 deaths and over 321 injuries to Americans instigated by followers of islam here on American soil.
You in the media seem to have more sympathy for the followers of this violent religion than you do for the innocent American victims and their families.
Until the muslim community cleans up their own act and calls out these muslim terrorists for what they are, Americans will continue to hold all muslims and the media in suspicion and contempt.
Our own government can't even say the words "Islamic terror" and threaten Americans who would call out radical islam for what it is.
It may be true that muslim Americans have had a "bad year", but so have innocent Americans.
Obviously we can only atone for this ghastly horror by letting in fifty million more.
Americans shot at a Christmas party.
.....All this will do will simply make the Donald and Sen. Ted all the more popular.
O DA POOR BEBIES.
Parisians slaughtered at a concert or while eating in a restaurant.
We should peg the number of mosques in the US to the number of churches and temples in Saudi Arabia. That should solve the problem.
How many dead mooselimbs in these incidents? It doesn’t seem like a bad year for them compared to American victims of mooselimbs.
awwwwwwwwwww poor babies
This is more lies from the “media.” “Recent polls” are saying that Americans love and adore the Muslims and want as many of them as Obama can round up to come here.
Deaths by Muslims reaches record high.
Well as long as they keep moving their agenda throughout the US ...they bring whatever comes their direction. THEY are the Problem.
Deadly Attacks, Threats, Harassment, Vandalism, Perpetrated by the Followers of Islam in the U. S., reaches record high.
If muslims want things to calm down, they better make sure NOTHING bad happens from their numbers, because muslims, “you’re standing on a powder keg.” to quote John Singleton before the Rodney King riots in LA.
Antisemitic attacks for 2014 were over 900 and barely a peep from the left.
after the first carbomb goes off, the goathumpers will long for days like these...
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD...now leave...go home...get the hell out of here towel heads!!
When Christians are treated with care and respect in Muslim countries, and churches are allowed to be built, not destroyed, in Muslim countries, maybe I’ll find some kind of F@CK give.
As it is, I believe nearly every complaint by a Muslim to be complete BULL if not self inflicted.
Islam is a DEATH CULT. Should all followers should be charged with slavery, rape, pedophilia, maiming, and murder charges? I think so.
