HOUSTON, Texas -- Houston Fire Department responded to a two-alarm fire at a mosque in southwest Houston on Friday afternoon, reports CBS affiliate KHOU.
Officials said the cause of the fire is suspicious. KHOU reports that officials say they they are currently checking surveillance footage.
The fire was put out shortly after crews arrived on the scene and no injuries were reported.
Officials said they received a call about the fire around 2:45 p.m. and by 3 p.m. it was moved to a two-alarm fire.
The Houston chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Houston) called on local, state and federal law enforcement authorities to investigate a possible bias motive for the fire, in a statement late Friday evening.
"Because of the recent spike in hate incidents targeting mosques nationwide, we urge law enforcement authorities to investigate a possible bias motive for this fire," said CAIR-Houston Executive Director Mustafaa Carroll, who is talking with mosque officials and investigators at the scene of the fire.
KHOU reports that there is no word on the amount of damage to the mosque, but officials said several other businesses in the area were damaged by the heavy smoke as well.
Advocacy groups believe there has been a spike in anti-Muslim incidents across the United States in recent weeks that can be linked to the mass shooting in California and the inflammatory rhetoric of Donald Trump and other Republican presidential candidates. And they say that Muslims are fearful the backlash could lead to further harassment and violence.

Way to keep the rampant Elitist bias out of a story, CBS.
It’s the Will of Allah. Aloha Snackbar.
How many muslims does it take to burn down their own mosque, interesting to note they don’t waste explosives when attempting to destroy their own mosque, wouldn’t want to do too much damage.
Ah, an old Mag Magazine clip if memory serves.
Mad magazine. Interesting. The cartoon was unusually insightful and remarkably prescient.
Feel good story of the morning.
Warms my heart.
And some 2 x 4’s.
NOt that I would advocate actions such as this,
Just celebrate when it happens
Strikes me the story should be , “Houston Mosque Suspicious.”
Lying, goat-humping, boy-raping, camel urine-drinking @-holes. All too convenient; the purple-pissing SandMonkeys fired their their own terrorist nest, and CAIR is whipping up the natives.
One, two, many mosque fires.
These people don’t own us yet. This is not Pakistan.
If CAIR or some other muslim group didn’t create this entire incident themselves I’d be surprised.
When the American public reaches the point where muslims are going to be persecuted, it will be as obvious as buzzards over carrion.
ONLY ONE! And you get the bonus of claiming a hate crime and ins money.
I call BS on this story.
Just like the raghead woman who raised hell claiming racism and islamophobia because the flight attendant gave her a diet coke instead of the coke zero she wanted.
In other words it’s another fabrication.
Need I close my tag?
I also do not advocate arson.
Especially if Muslims torch their own joint.
Just like a cross burning at a black church near here, they did it themselves.
