BRUSSELS -- An ax-wielding arsonist burst into a Shiite Belgian mosque Monday, killing the imam and destroying much of the building in an attack local Muslims tipped as the work of Sunni extremists.
Police said the man, detained after mosque personnel trapped him inside the building, apparently used fuel to set fire to the Rida mosque near Brussels' international rail hub, killing 46-year-old father-of-four Abdallah Dadou.
The victim, who died of smoke inhalation, was described by worshipper Abdel Adouzeyneb, a 39-year-old real estate agent, as "a person who was loved by everybody -- he was open, well integrated, smiling and happy."
A second person, who was with the victim at the time of the attack, was slightly injured.
Police were unable to immediately name the suspect as he lacked identity papers, but authorities said the man described himself as a Muslim born in 1978. Authorities are investigating his motives and whether he had accomplices.

Muslim immigrants... doing the crimes native Belgians won’t do.
When I read this story earlier I wondered if it was Muslim on Muslim violence—perhaps Sunni/Shiite sectarian strife.
A tussle in Brussels. Thanks Free ThinkerNY.
YAY! A feel good story just as I was heading for bed. YAY!
Thanks for the ping!
Check Barry's wallet for them.
Muzzie civil war, everyone wins! :’)
Shiite vs Sunni. Get ready for the family feud. Que up Richard Dawson.
They are all nice people, until they decide to go on an individual jihad.
Yep! a win win all around! happy day :-)
Red on red. Beautiful. More of this please :D
If I ever need a new handle around here, I will call myself “Ax-wielding arsonist”.
Although it happened in Brussels, I’ll bet Barry and Hillary can’t wait to apologize and threaten what they are going to do to the ax-wielder once they get their hands on him.
A good start.
Did Panetta already mention he could face the death penalty?
“destroying much of the building”
But this ROP felon was obviously trying to do too much: Instead of trying to squeeze in grievous ax wounds, maybe he should have concentrated on the arson.
The only good mozlim is a .... one.
Seems like a good way to end the day.
“Police said the man,apparently used fuel to set fire to the Rida mosque”
Whatever it takes so long as they just get “Rida” each other.
Stand Back!
Let the man complete his work.
Clearly Belgium is a properly functioning country with the Wallons and Flemish getting along so well that they can import foreign strife. (rolling eyes.) From the spring of 2007 to December 2011, the kingdom lacked a proper government.
