This is certainly not the first hate fueled attack shared on social media in recent months.

Whether it's an online troll or a person verbally abusing Muslims in public, Islamophobic attacks are certainly increasing.

Earlier this year, a study revealed that 2016 was a "banner year for hate," and a lot of that hate was targeted towards Muslims.

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, 2016 saw the highest number of anti-Muslim hate groups and the greatest surge in the number of such groups since the center began documenting them in 2010.

Other studies revealed that Anti-Muslim hate groups increased by 197 percent over the course of one year.

There were 34 anti-Muslim hate groups in the U.S. in 2015. That number tripled to a whopping 101 groups in 2016, a surge of 197 percent – the greatest increase among all hate groups.
