I bet they had a bad electrical system...those shorts 'll kill ya.

[softwarecreator]

Just for the record:  I was no where near Paterson, NJ at the time of this incident.

[Charlespg]

It was to be a Muslim youth center, a place for people to meet and mingle

and plan murder and mayhem,good riddance

[Sisku Hanne]

and in local news from July 15th:
"Flames broke out at the Islamic Society of Greater Harrisburg around 4:30 yesterday afternoon. Fire crews say thick, black smoke was pouring out of the building everyone got out safely.

Steelton's mayor says the fire could've been caused by a fuel spill. He says the Islamic Center hasn't been inspected in about five years, because of difficulties getting inside."

Hmmm...another "fundraiser"?

"The fire was very fast and intense," said Paterson Councilman Aslon Goow, a member of the public safety committee. "Within five minutes everything caved in. It burned entirely from one end to the other."

That is what happens to heart pine floors,beams and columns
that have been soaked in oil for 50 years.

Consider a building made from pine rosin and you get the
idea.
It could have certainly been torched, but by WHOM?

[puppypusher]

Get that crap. The place was supposed to be a muslim youth center. Just what we need a place where future homicide bombers can be recruited and trained.

[MortMan]

Oops.

Here's a comment--BOO F'NG HOO!!!

[newsgatherer]

"It's very suspicious," said Sohail Mohammed, a community member. "Things are pointing in that direction. I hope not, but I'm afraid that it is."

You know, you play around amking bombs in a building and occasionally once goes off.

[airborne]

Hmm. Seems it contained highly flammable materials.

[bill1952]

of deadly bombings in London this month, believed to be set off by Islamic extremists.

The agenda drives on, the media undeterred by those strange, annoying things called facts.

believed to be?-Yeah, right. Maybe it was those dangerous nuns.
They have been bombing local train stations lately

[cripplecreek]

About a year and a half ago a storefront Mosque burned in Coldwater Mi. A few hours later two middle eastern men turned up at the hospital about 30 miles away in Jackson.

The middle easterners claimed that they had been drinking at a local bar they couldn't name when two black men set them on fire with gasoline as they called them racist names.

When all was said and done the police figured out that the middle easterners had set the mosque (and themselves) on fire for insurance purposes.

BTW both idiots died of their injuries.

[Petronski]

Fire al-Reichtaq!

[SlowBoat407]

I just want to step in here and say that I have nothing to say on the matter.

[reagan_fanatic]

My Mom always told me that if you can't say something nice, then don't say it at all.

Soooo........

[Casekirchen]

Three questions that I'd like answers for ---

a) If they can raise $1.25 million from 'local' sources to buy the building, why weren't they able to raise enough money from the 25,000 local muslims to buy a couple of sofas & chairs, baseketballs etc to create a youth center in 2 years?

Maybe I'm being to critical, but the youth centers that I've been involved in starting have always gone for activities then a building. Why didn't they have an up & running youth program to move into the building.

If the building needed repairs (which it probably did), again, why weren't they able to raise money to get them done? Was it a factor in their development plan?


b) Since there is no rioting, can we assume that there were no korans involved?

what kind of islamic center would go for 2 years and not have a koran in it? (Oh, yeah, it was empty after 2 years)


c) Nabil Abbassi says that he is going to continue the project. What project, looks like they haven't done anything for 2 years.

[freeangel]

The last time something like this happened, wasn't the perp found out to be a muslim?
