Following the attack in San Bernardino, hate crimes against Muslims have been making headlines.

Earlier this week, a 53-year-old store owner from the Astoria section of Queens, New York was badly beaten by a customer because he's Muslim. His attacker was also charged with a hate crime.

In another incident, a woman who worked at the Department of Corrections in San Francisco saw several Muslim men praying in a park and lashed out at them.
