Industrial accident, maybe? Occupational hazard? Why on earth would a mosque have anything explosive in it. . .

Investigators at Islamic center after explosion
The Associated Press
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Authorities are investigating an explosion at an Islamic center in Jacksonville to determine if it was a hate crime.
Fire spokesman Tom Francis says investigators will be at the Islamic Center of Northeast Florida Tuesday to collect evidence.
Witnesses said they heard a loud noise Monday as preparations were being made for the evening prayer. A fire caused minimal damage to the building. No one was injured.
Witnesses said they found a device at the scene, but Francis wouldn't comment further.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations issued a statement saying an attack "on a house of worship should be of great concern to Americans of all faiths." The group called for political and religious leaders to speak out against anti-Muslim sentiment.
"The group called for political and religious leaders to speak out against anti-Muslim sentiment."Sounds a bit like a good excuse to start hunting Christians?

ReplyDeleteWell, it will be interesting to see if this was a hate crime, or a work accident.
ReplyDeletePastorious nailed it; a whoops-work accident!
ReplyDeleteActually I'm betting it will come down to the fire inspector's fault for not the no smoking provisions.
ReplyDeleteA fatwa should be issued for his head.
Global Warming?
ReplyDeleteSeriously, look if some moron did this we need to find and prosecute him.
Just like every son of a bitch inciting the creation of such devices INSIDE those doors
No exceptions
Undoubtedly a "work accident" from improper handling of those ritual explosive devices stored in many mosques.
