"Muslims arriving for morning prayers Saturday at the small Mazahirul Uloom mosque in East London were stunned to find the green carpet where they kneel to pray covered in broken glass.
"The imam, who was planning to speak about Thursday's terror bombings, instead described how a caretaker awoke at 3 a.m. to the sound of shattering glass. Virtually every window on the mosque's facade -- more than 20 panes of glass -- had been smashed.

"The incident, which follows two suspicious fires at a mosque in Leeds, raised fears of a backlash against Britain's large Muslim community, fueled by public anger over last week's bombings in London."
