On Eid al-Fitr, a 24-year-old New Jersey man allegedly broke into and vandalized Rutgers University’s Islamic student center, causing $40,000 in damage. Jacob Beacher, who has been arrested and charged, is not a student at Rutgers. The incident has sparked concerns about rising anti-Muslim sentiment, with the Council on American-Islamic Relations reporting a 56% increase in hate incidents in 2023.
