On October 1, 2002 The Idaho Statesman reported that "two windows were shattered at the Islamic Center of Boise last weekend, causing some local Muslim leaders to worry about the safety of those who pray at and visit the mosque. On late Sunday or early Monday, bricks were thrown through the windows, shattering broken glass onto a prayer rug below... Before Sept. 11, 2001, about 70 children attended a Sunday education class. Now, only about 15 show up... But while parents seem to be keeping their children away from the mosque, attendance at other services has increased since the terrorist attacks. "
