According to this NY Times report, a group of teenagers have repeatedly gathered outside a mosque in Carlton, New York where they've harassed worshipers by yelling obscenities and insults during evening prayers for Ramadan. The teenagers also are accused of sideswiping a worshiper with their vehicle on Monday Aug. 30th and, on Friday Aug. 27th, 2010, firing a shotgun outside the mosque. No one was hit when the 17 year-old fired the shotgun, but he has been charged with criminal possession of a weapon and faces up to four years in prison if convicted. The others have been charged with disrupting a religious service, a misdemeanor.
