So sad, too bad...less money to send Uncle Osama

>>It was not covered by fire insurance because it had not determined if the structure would be converted or razed so a new building could be constructed, said Nabil Abbassi, head of the Islamic Center's development committee.

I'm sure they torched it themselves so they wouldn't have to deal with the historic building commission, and they could get the insurance money :P

[Alouette]

How much does the insurance policy pay out?

[brownsfan]

"So it sounds like they wanted to tear the building down, anyway.

Now they don't have to wait for the infidel's permission."


Hmmmm... perhaps they burned it themselves? Reduce the red tape, and as a bonus, they can cry about hate crimes.

[agere_contra]

The media will make this out to be more horrible than 9/11.

Agreed. Now if it had been the Branch Davidians getting burnt out - with great loss of life too - the Media couldn't have cared less. But watch what happens now.

[AmericanArchConservative]

One down, hundreds to go...

{You all have alibis, right...?}

I knowwwwwww NOTHEEENG, Herr Commandant - NOTHEEENG!

A.A.C.

It was not covered by fire insurance because it had not determined if the structure would be converted or razed so a new building could be constructed, said Nabil Abbassi, head of the Islamic Center's development committee.

Well, it must've been paid for in cash then. No bank would give a loan with the insurance. Wonder where the got all the cash?

[PBRSTREETGANG]

"Jewish lightning"?

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Now they don't have to wait for the infidel's permission.

I dunno, if I was on the Landmark Commission, I might order them to rebuild brick by brick, like some of the German landmarks after WW-II.

The mosque bought the property for about $1.2 million in 2003. It was not covered by fire insurance because it had not determined if the structure would be converted or razed so a new building could be constructed, said Nabil Abbassi, head of the Islamic Center's development committee.

Looks like there was no insurance....

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

"Allah's Thunderbolt?"

[southernerwithanattitude]

Now come on, we all know how "peacefull" the muslims are. They wouldn't do anything illegal? {Unless of course it was some infidels law}

[theDentist]

Any indication that Bill Clinton remembers a rash of Mosque Burnings when he was just a wee lad?

[rightwingextremist1776]

They probably set it themselves, and then blame it on "bias". I wouldn't put it past them.

Officials should look into where this money came from. I would bet from the Saudi's International Wahabbi Fund. No mosques funded with foreign capital should be giving permits in the United States.

[Ann Archy]

Great point! Sounds like the Muslims burned it themselves! Sweet...they get the NEW buildig they wanted and blame the fire on the infidels!

[montag813]

The mosque planned to have preschool and after-school programs at the site

PRE-SCHOOL...

AFTER-SCHOOL...

[DoctorMichael]

Darn! Dontcha hate it when that happens to Muslim Islamofascist places of worship plotting.

[wideawake]

Yep, I'm all broke up about it.

I am broke up about it. This blatant insurance scam is going to get a free pass because it's going to be portrayed as a "hate crime." They'll probably get money from the city too.

[hershey]

They probably had lots of insurance.
