Turkish Mosque Attacked in US alarms rising Islamophobia - Daily Sabah
Masked assailants hurled stones at a mosque in West Springfield, Massachusetts, Wednesday. The attack is under investigation to check whether or not it was hate-crime driven and occurred after a series of anti-Muslim incidents in the country.

The mosque, built by Turkey's Presidency of Religious Affairs and the Council of Ahiska Turkish-American Associates, opened earlier this year in March.
Ahiska Turks, also known as Meskhetian Turks, were expelled in 1944 from their homeland – the Meskheti region in Georgia – by Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, in attempt to deport Turks from the shores of the Black Sea.
