A fire that broke out early Monday at the Fort Pierce mosque where Orlando massacre shooter Omar Mateen prayed and worshipped is considered arson, according to investigators.
"Evidence has revealed that this fire was set intentionally," St. Lucie County Sheriff's Major David Thompson told reporters.

This is what starts to happen when more terrorist attacks come to our shores.

Well, what a stupid thing to do.

Are you suggesting it's understandable or justified?

No....But not all people are reasoned.....I don't know who did that, and neither to the authorities yet, but if their point is to lash out at terror, then I would say burning houses of worship is NOT the way to go about it....It brings up tender wounds in this country.

Yes, fear takes over and people become irrational. The terrorists win because they want people to become fearful and irrational.

We don't know what the reason the fire was set, only that it was most likely arson. For all we know it could be insurance fraud on the part of the folks that own it or could be some dumb idiots who are fire lovers.

Good point....And for political sake, I hope that is the case.

Dastardly act. Terrible. Disgraceful.

Problem is, Islamophobes don't seem to realize that by persecuting Muslims, they're only encouraging more Muslims to radicalize...and it becomes a vicious circle leading to a place where none of us want to go.
 
Re: Fire at Fort Pierce mosque where Pulse nightclub killer prayed 'intentionally set

It may have been set by local jihadists to inflame the resident Muslims hoping to get them to take sides.

*sigh*

Why is it almost every time someone does something that makes conservatives look bad, there's always some conservatives out there who immediately claim that it was somehow a 'false flag' operation?

How does this make Conservatives look bad? We know nothing about the perpetrator of this arson. He/She could be a liberal pig lover upset that Islam forbids pork and considers it "unclean" for all we know.

Hint: How about instead of being partisan about this we actually WAIT for all the facts before blaming/condemning <insert whatever group here>?

So terrorism begets terrorism and it's cool so long as it comes down on your side?

Re: Fire at Fort Pierce mosque where Pulse nightclub killer prayed 'intentionally set

We have no evidence that this is related to extremist groups, the arsonist was likely a gay club goer who became delirious from too much dancing and was embarrassed to tell his parents. Move along.

Why stick to facts when you can play partisan bull**** games?

By today's vague and expansive "definitions" of "terror" or terrorism, burning down the church was itself an act of terror against muslims.

But nobody in the western media or political structure will say that. Some things are better left unsaid.

Not so fast GC. How do you know it wasn't a pizzed off gay person wanting some payback?

Do we know it if wasn't a pizzed off gay person yet?
 
Re: Fire at Fort Pierce mosque where Pulse nightclub killer prayed 'intentionally set

What if the torch turns out to be a gay person, getting some payback?
 
Re: Fire at Fort Pierce mosque where Pulse nightclub killer prayed 'intentionally set

They few descriptions of the suspect are a white or hispanic male on a motorcycle in the style of a Harley.


It is amazing how some people can identify political leanings or sexual orientation from that .
 
Re: Fire at Fort Pierce mosque where Pulse nightclub killer prayed 'intentionally set

Get used to it, there is a lot more coming.

That is the trend that we are on......................division.
