Suspect in mosque arson could be in country illegally
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A Muslim man charged with setting fire to a Marietta mosque may be in the country illegally, law enforcement officials confirmed Thursday.
Arson investigators work to find out if a fire was deliberately set at the Masjid Al-hedaya on Powder Springs Street in Marietta Tuesday, July 6, 2010. The fire was reported shortly after 11 p.m. Monday. The building is also known as the Islamic Center of Marietta.

Tamsir Mendy, 26, a native of Gambia, has been charged with first-degree arson and is being held without bail at the Cobb County detention center, said Scott Tucker, Marietta assistant fire chief.
Earlier this week, the council — noting other acts of violence against Muslims nationwide — had asked the FBI to investigate the fire.
Ahh the usual suspects. Must break their hearts to hear that the hate crime was committed by a Muslim.
I will pay muslims to burn down mosques. Maybe we can agitate...tell sunnis that wahabbies called them wussies or something.
gee, wonder if it’s a bad idea to put a mosque on ground zero?
I’m sure the muslim in chief will pardon his brother. The guy will probably wind up with a big job at NASA.
“It’s obviously quite disturbing to hear that a member of the Muslim community is accused of this crime,”
I’m SHOCKED - SHOCKED !
A subject so "taboo" that every comedian in America makes jokes about it.
The stick-figure Mohammad episode of South Park was only a billion times more daring and courageous than anything on this ridiculous show.
So they only care about illegals’ criminal acts when they burn down mosques??
