Arsonists target UK mosque
2005-07-10
LONDON: Suspected arsonists set a mosque in northwest England on fire Saturday, police said. A man living in a flat above the Shahjalal Mosque, which is part of an Islamic centre in Birkenhead, was treated for smoke inhalation but there were no other injuries, police said. The mosque door was burnt and there was some smoke damage inside, Merseyside police said.
Don't take it too seriously. The majority of Britons are law-abiding and have no involvement with vigilante justice. British is a Nationality of Peace™...

#13  Maybe the Iman of the mosque should rethink his position concerning the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

#12  Why do I get the feeling that once this is investigated, they'll find the Imam burned it down himself.

Arson can destroy a heck of a lot of evidence.

#11  We of the Anglo community condemn this act and appeal for calm

(wait for it...)

BUT

we hope that the Muslim community will strive to learn the root causes of such acts, and take this opportunity for an introspective examination of the reasons why Muslims have a marked inability to coexist peacefully with non-Muslim communities.

#8  Re #4: One muzzie suggested yesterday that the London 7/7 events may have been due to a power surge. Power surges cause fires too.

#7  Words fail to express my disgust at this act of barbarism. Burning down a place where peace and tolerance are preached dayly.

#6  I think that's along the same lines as alleged terrorist or suspected militants?

#5  Glad the resident guy is OK, assuming he didn't do it himself. This looks like the work of glue-sniffing skinhead wannabes, throw away the key if they're caught. Besides, it's a waste of perfectly good fuel that could have been used to torch a Moonbat media outlet.

#4  Suspected arsonists? Who else might set a building on fire, if not arsonists?

#2  to question any ethnic brits is racist. Islamists should look to the root cause: why do they hate us? If they come up short, I'm sure I can start a list for them
