    Default Mosque Fire May Have Been Intentional, Officials Say

    Mosque Fire May Have Been Intentional, Officials Say
    BY CASEY QUINLAN DEC 26, 2015 2:48 PM

    Officials are investigating whether a fire at a Houston mosque that began on Christmas Day may have been arson, since the blaze had various points of origin, according to CBS affiliate KHOU.
    In an interview with the Houston Chronicle, Dramane Diallo, who opens the mosque for prayer every day, said he thought it was unlikely that it was an electrical fire: “It’s very hard to believe it was an accident.”
    The FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, a law enforcement agency in the U.S. Department of Justice, are investigating the cause of the fire, which happened only an hour after hundreds of people were inside the building for Friday prayer.
    This fire could be yet another anti-Muslim attack in a slew of crimes committed against Muslims and mosques following the terrorist attacks in Paris. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) released a statement calling for local, state, and federal law enforcement authorities to investigate the scene for a possible bias motive.
    CAIR released a report on more than 70 incidents targeting mosques that shows the frequency of damage, vandalism, and intimidation has been more frequent than any other year since the organization began tracking these incidents in 2009. ThinkProgress compiled its own list of anti-Muslim incidents happening across the country since the Paris attacks, which included attacks, protests, and threats leveled against houses of worship, including a severed pig’s head thrown at the door of the Al-Aqsa Islamic Society, harassment and assault against individual Muslims and their families, and profiling at airports.
    Since ThinkProgress reviewed anti-Muslim attacks and threats, there have been more incidents of mosques being attacked and individuals being investigated for threats against Muslims.
    On December 10, CAIR’s offices in Washington, D.C. received a powdery substance and a hate message. Although the CAIR office said it is accustomed to receiving hateful messages, the powder substance was new and people had to be evacuated from the building, with the exception of a few semi-quarantined staff members.
    On December 11, a fire at a Southern California mosque, the Islamic Society of Coachella Valley in Coachella, was determined to be a hate crime by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department and Coachella Police Department.
    And on Christmas Eve, a Richmond, California man, William Celli, who was charged with making threats against Muslims and who expressed anti-Muslim rhetoric on social media, was released from police custody. Police searched his home after they received a tip that he may have had an explosive device. Richmond Mayor Tom Butt later released a statement, which commended the police department “for their work in stopping what could have been a tragic attack in our community.”
    Officials are investigating whether a fire at a Houston mosque that began on Christmas Day may have been arson, since the blaze had various points of origin, according to CBS affiliate KHOU.
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I truly hope that it was. As that would indicate more people are finally realizing the true evil that exists in our midst! And some are now deciding that since the current government has aligned itself with this murdering cult and has gone out of its way to try to weaken Christianity, they will act to fight back..
    You will soon see your true masters(Islam- their agenda) by the speed and dedication put forth to protect their special and highly protected status in this nation..
    Divide and conquer, is as old as dirt and Islam,
    CAIR, LEFTIST MEDIA, DEM PARTY, LIBS USE IT VERY EFFECTIVELY
    AGAINST CONSERVATIVES, Christians and the right-wing opposition.
    obama and dem party have spent 7 years dividing us and used billions in our tax dollars to do so.. A fact.-Tyr

    One comment about a mosque being hit and Noir speaks up. Thousands and thousand countless christians dead, and countless churches burned - and not a peep about it.

    I don't think I've ever seen a thread about a Christian church being burned down with comments like "I truly hope it was". But you'll be glad to know that when people on here do start hoping that Christian churches are being burnt down you'll hear my peeps (:

    Christians are being killed all over the world, Christian churches do get burned a good bit. As for the comment, well it's kind of hard to feel bad for folks that either want to kill ya or cheer those that actually do the job.
    Never look down on someone unless you are helping them up

    Look to the ME and all the carnage, and how ISIS and other groups are full of glee about their handiwork. Surely if you can condemn something from the UK to the US - you can also condemn something from the UK to the Middle East, no? I just find it odd is all. As if you have a serious hatred for everything christian, and kinda shrug your shoulders and bury your head when it comes to Islam - you know, the one committing those hundreds of thousands and more killings, and nearly 30,000 terror related attacks since 9/11.

    It's a big deal to you that a member spoke up as in this thread, but terrorists wishing death on millions and millions and calling for the destruction of half the world - not worthy of discussion for you.

    Really? How many we got on beheading Christians? I'd say that kind of trumps burning a building that represents the people doing the beheadings. Ye reap what ye sow.

    What's that saying about there being no smoke without fire ?

    Wouldn't it be better to deal with a source of a problem, instead of just its spin-off consequences ?

    Or are you just trying to find some indirect way of defending (i.e sanitising) our perception of terrorists, through your diversionary attempt at a 'comparison' .. ?

    You talk as though there was an equivalence between Christian churches and mosques. Perhaps you can point to any equivalent of Abu Hamza, the terrorist-supporter who regularly preached his hate messages at the Finsbury Park mosque, and some equivalent Christian preacher who - and despite all the many Muslim provocations !! - preached at a Christian church, calling for an outbreak of 'Christian terrorism' to be waged in the Middle East ??

    Tell me of the Christian equivalent of Al Qaeda, or ISIS, Noir.

    What was it I posted before ...

    ... are you just trying to find some indirect way of defending (i.e sanitising) our perception of terrorists ..

    Yes, that was it.

    Still trying to argue, in your typically perverse way, that terrorists deserve the 'human' tag ? You show every bit as much persistence in that effort as any LEFTIE I've ever had dealings with.

    Terrorists began the terrorism. Their subhumanity is the cause of it all. They're the ones who live for their butchery, who instigate it, who exult in it afterwards. They're the ones who train their kids to kill, butcher, maim, just as they themselves very proudly do.

    Those who fight them, fight against their subhumanity. They do not cause it. They don't exult in it. They merely DEFEND against it.

    Such a pity that these distinctions have no great significance for you, FJ. Maybe if you didn't put such effort into advancing LEFTIE attempts at equivocation here, that wouldn't as likely be the case ??

    Trust a Leftie to find excuses to sanitise terrorists ..
