Fires set at St. Catharines mosque (Canada)

A series of small fires set around a St. Catharines mosque were being treated as a hate crime Saturday after Niagra Regional Police found what they called bias-oriented statements etched into the concrete outside.

Police said they were alerted to the fires early Saturday morning when a car fire was reported at a store adjacent to the Majid-an-Noor mosque.

Police said the car, which was parked against the north side of the mosque, had been completely destroyed by fire.

Further investigation revealed several other small fires set at the rear of the mosque.

Toronto telivision station CFTO reported that cardboard had been stuffed into the mosque's ventilation system and ignited

"For sure it is very sad," mosque spokesman Ezeldin Abadalla told the telivision station.

"But...we believe this is a very isolated incident, it doesn't reflect the attitude of our society here in St. Catharines."

Police said the fires only caused minimal damage to the building.

They said they will use "all available resources" to catch whomever is responsible.

I guess that leaves their counter terror squad down to the guy operating the open immigration turnstile at the airport...

When the Montreal Cathedral was trashed by feminists a couple of years back, wasn't the decision made NOT to treat it as a hate crime?

Are there any islamic proverbs that explain the concept of "what comes around goes around"?

Not very skilled haters IMHO. Sounds more like attention getting and fundraising for the mosque.

True. Skilled haters target and kill children by the hundreds.

Well we certainly can't say that about the Muslim terrorists who are busy killing the world over.

it doesn't reflect the attitude of our society here in St. Catharines."

Let us hear the same sentiments as quickly against the murders committed by fellow Muslims.

I am no theologian and my college study of comparative religion amounts to only three undergraduate credits but does anyone else find the name, Saint Catharines Mosque confusing?

They better hope so. Once the grief turns to anger, Russian citizens in other parts of the world could commit vigilante acts. The Nepalese weren't having any of it after the throats of their citizens working in Iraq were cut.

Its a confusing headline.

It is the Majid-an-Noor mosque located in St. Catharines.

First thing I thought.
There's a mosque called St. Catherines?

Of course I couldn't advocate the burning of any mosque as that would be a hate crime. But I would understand. /sarc

you are correct... I believe the proper Islamic procedure for this type of activity is to wait till a large group of families are inside to worship. Then set perimeter fires after the occupants see the fire, set fire to the interior by lighting the roof and finally wait on the outside to shoot any people (especially children)who try to save themselves.

Then they need to scurry like cock-roaches to the nearest "Holy City of Bitemyass" (named by sympathetic liberals in AP or Reuters) and hide in a port-a-potty they called a "Holy Site" where Muhamad took a dump or ate some camel cr@p. Once in this site they are of course immune from outside infidels who would "desicrate" the holy Shi'ite (cr#p) site of Muhamad.

I don't know, but I feel the press is as bad as the Islamofacist terrorist and are acting as enablers. I feel there will be such a back lash of "vigilante" type justice as witnessed in Russia that the press as well as the Muslim a-holes will reap what they sow.

Then there will be nothing to do but shake your head and say, "tsk, tsk... what a shame. All those burned out mosques and corpses litering the streets."

I think that Iran is toast as soon as the reactor goes on line or is nearing completion. I mean "toast" literally not as some metaphor..... gee maybe we'll all get a neat little Christmas present.

I do as well. I don't find it "cute", "funny", a political game or anything to joke about. These Boleshevik media people are also responsible for the deaths of innocents.

I'm disappointed that this hasn't happened sooner and more frequently. ISLAM IS EVIL!
