Now there are reports of shots being fired at the Murfreesboro Islamic Center in Tennessee (via The Political Carnival):
Rutherford County Sheriff’s deputies are investigating a complaint about shots being fired this afternoon near the construction site of the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro on Veals Road off Bradyville Pike.
The report came just hours after a fire of suspicious nature damaged construction equipment at the site.
A group of congregation members was at the site looking at the damage done to construction equipment by the fire overnight when they heard nine shots fired from two directions.
The incident occurred around 3:15 p.m. The congregation members reported hearing six shots coming from one direction, and about three minutes later they heard three more shots from another direction, said Saleh Sbenaty, a congregation member and MTSU professor.

One piece of construction equipment was damaged over the weekend when it was burned, and three other pieces of equipment were doused with some sort of accelerant, Sbenaty said.
The sheriff’s office, FBI and Bureau of ATF are investigating the fire.
This is just hours after arson destroyed construction equipment at the site, an incident that is now classified as a hate-crime.
Also worth noting is the deafening silence from the right on this story. Not even Matt Drudge has mentioned a word about the arson. They must be awaiting their marching orders from Heir Beck and Palin as to how they should proceed with spinning the hate.
