Jerusalem Post ^ | May 19, 2009 | AP

Assailants have carried out arson attacks on four separate mosques in Istanbul, Turkish media reported on Tuesday.

According to a report on HaberTurk television, no one was wounded in the attacks, and damage to the mosques was minimal.

Mustafa Cagrici, the mufti or chief cleric for Istanbul, confirmed Tuesday that fires had broken out in four mosques. He would not say if they had been caused by arson.

Last year, police arrested a mentally unstable man for a series of arson attacks on mosques in Istanbul.

Ah-ha! How long before they blame the Jews? Or will it be the Orthodox Christians?

It's five mosques, not four. Let's call it Greek Fire :)

How do we know that they weren’t ammo dumps or armories?

I think Bill Clinton remembers Mosques burning in Arkansas in his youth.

"Mosque" is the raghead word for "ammo dump or armory."

This might be a Muslim vs. Muslim conflict. I doubt that there would be any non-Muslims there crazy enough to do this.

Some good news for a change...the parastate of Turkey is probably behind this. IN the meantime they promote a festival of whores:
