The following news brief is a quote:

Syracuse, NY -- Syracuse fire investigators have not yet determined the cause of an explosion Thursday at the Ihsan School of Excellence, a private Islamic school on West Onondaga Street.

More meetings with investigators are planned before a determination is made, Lt. Joe Galloway, a Syracuse fire investigator, said today.

A cause for the explosion in the school's basement will possibly be released on Monday, Galloway said.

I wonder if authorities are keeping an eye on the ‘school of excellence’ here in the Cleveland area. Imam Fawaz Damra was convicted and deported in 2007. The bookmarked links have since been wiped by the Plain Dealer, but there were lots and lots of hidden things going on. If this is determined to be something of concern I would be looking at a Hamas-Damra link. He was deported to the Palestinian West Bank.

Could have been building bombs....

What are the chances that an Islamic school would permit bomb making in its basement? The Amish maybe, but not a religion of peace.

Funny: this usually doesn’t happen until final exam week.

Wanna’ bet that the line “There is no indication that this was related to terrorism” will be included in the first statement?

Contrast the new sanitized name "Ihsan School of Excellence" with the original, "Al-Ishan Islamic School."

Contrast the new sanitized website http://ihsanschool.org/ with the original http://web.archive.org/web/20071012222025/http://salam.muslimsonline.com/~alihsan/

The original website includes:

- Hyperlinks to the worst of the worst:

The Islamic Society of Central New York (ISCNY).
The Muslim Student Association (MSA) at Syracuse University
The Islamic Affairs Department at the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Washington DC
The Muslim Student Association (MSA) at Buffalo, NY.
The Council on American Islamic Rights (CAIR).
The Qur'an and Sunnah Society (Q&SS).
The Muslim Arab Youth Association (MAYA)
The Islamic Assembly of North America (IANA)
The World Assembly of Muslim Youth (WAMY).

- (1) A hyperlink to the "University of Terrorism" - the Islamic Saudi Academy in Alexandria, a private school operated and funded by the Saudi government that is teaching Wahhabi Islamism–the extreme and violent form of Islam. The Islamic Saudi Academy has produced a few esteemed alumni. Here are five of their students and employee’s accomplishments:

* Three graduates of the Islamic Saudi Academy were jailed when customs found a letter written in Arabic on one of the three. The authorities believed the note was a suicide note and a precursor for a terrorist suicide act. Mohammed Osman Idris, Mohammed El-Yacoubi, and Abdalmuhssin El-Yacoubi were born in the U.S. and are from North Virginia. They paid for their tickets with cash and carried a substantial amount of cash on them. They did not check any baggage, were carrying new passports and were headed to Israel. They hastily boarded the plane and left some of their belongings at security. They were not permitted to enter Israel and were returned to the U.S. and arrested.

* Ahmed Omar Abu Ali, 1999 valedictorian of the Islamic Saudi Academy, was charged with a criminal indictment in the Eastern District of Virginia with two counts of providing material support to terrorists, two counts of providing material support to Al Qaeda, one count of contributing goods and services to Al Qaeda, one count of receiving services from Al Qaeda and conspiracy to assassinate George Bush. He was convicted and is serving a 30 year prison sentence.

* Ismail Selim Elbarasse was arrested in 2004 and indicted for managing the books of the Hamas regime and laundering money for the terrorist organization. During this time he was also the accountant for the Islamic Saudi Academy. He worked at the academy for 14 years. He and his wife were also questioned for videotaping the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in Maryland. They were accused of doing surveillance for a terrorist attack. The confiscated tapes included detailed close ups of the bridge, its cables and supporting structure. The very images one would use to bomb and destroy a structure.

- Hyperlinks to A/V feeds from Saudia Arabia.

- A hyperlink to the Saudi Arabian embassy in D.C.

- Numerous other Hyperlinks to Saudi Arabia.

Nothing to see here folks, move along.
