The Islamophobia. It truly is everywhere.

Economics sophomore Kareem Abdi, who said he regularly attends services at the North Austin Muslim Community Center mosque, said that after recent events targeting Muslims across the country, this bomb threat brought Islamophobia close to home.
“Why us? What did we do wrong? Why is this happening so often?” Abdi said. “I feel like hatred is a common threat in the Muslim community. Now, it seems like another regular day when the community receives threats.”

CAIR put it on their Islamophobia Watch. What was being quite deliberately left out was that the threatener was a Muslim.

According to the Austin Police Department, 54-year-old Azzam Ahmed Baytie made two bomb threats at a North Austin Muslim Community Center and a Middle Eastern-style food truck near the Arab Cowboy Cafe and Hookah Lounge. The community center is in North Austin, and the cafe is located in West Campus.
Staff at the community center called Austin-Travis County EMS just after 7 a.m. Tuesday. They said the man had some kind of medical issue, possibly psychiatric problems.
According to the arrest affidavit, police found Baytie rolling around the ground in front the community center. Baytie told medics he had taken five Ambilify to harm himself, a drug that treats schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and depression.
On the way to the hospital, police said the man told EMS workers he put bombs at the two locations. Investigators did not find explosive devices at either location.

This isn’t even new. He did the same thing a few years ago.

Baytie was previously found guilty of making a terroristic threat and criminal trespassing after a 2008 incident at the same mosque at the North Austin Muslim Community Center. Baytie reportedly told police he had a bomb in his backpack. Authorities scanned the backpack with an X-ray machine and found electronic parts inside, prompting them to destroy the backpack as a precaution.

Baytie is clearly mentally ill and by now the mosque and the Muslim community was entirely familiar with him. There was absolutely no excuse for anyone promoting the hoax that this was Islamophobia.
And more troublingly, the media is unwilling to hold anyone accountable for it.
