While it is hard to say if acts of vandalism against followers of Islam that can easily be perceived as hate speech are on the increase, they are getting more attention.
From bacon spelling "Pig" outside a Mosque, to a pig's head thrown amidst worshipers; stories of actions against Moslems are getting more attention.
I won't condone acts that are just outright offensive and hateful, but I can see why people need to vent their frustrations and one way is to imagine methods of outraging those that support outrageous acts.
In one case, a proposal for a "prank" was to build a MOAB (Mother Of All Bacon) bomb that would "harmlessly" spray pork fat all over the ground zero mosque location in order to defile it into uselessness.
I would laugh at the proposition but not at any intention to actually carry out the act, which would be way beyond "Prank".

Ouch! Vegetable plants poisoned in Australia
Authorities are still trying to determine if the poisoning of millions of seedlings at a nursery in Northern Queensland is vandalism, a grudge, or cut-throat competition.
This is the time in 8 years that such an act has been accomplished.
The price of vegetables (especially tomatoes) is expected to climb as the supplier provided plants to ~ 30 growers and ships plants to other countries in the area.
Many seedlings had already been planted, adding to the cost.
Damage is estimated to be about $20M so far.
I wonder if this has happened in the US and the authorities were smart enough to keep it quiet to avoid copycats.
