Terrorist Firebombs Church

[Zippyjuan]

Church actually being a mosque but is still a place of worship. Demonizing a group like Trump has with Muslims encourages such behavior.


The Riverside County Sheriff's Department says a person of interest is being held Friday night after the Mosque fire in Coachella. The Sheriff's Department says the person was identified quickly this afternoon and detained pending further investigation. Officials believe this was an "intentional act" that may have caused a potential hate crime.

Update 6:30 p.m.:

The Riverside County Sheriff's Department calls Mosque fire "an intentional act" and promises that all resources will be used to catch the person responsible.

Calfire and the ATF are assisting in the investigation. Riverside County Sheriff's Department is asking for the public's help if you have any information about this incident.

Firefighters have contained a fire that ignited just after 12 p.m. at the Islamic Society of Palm Springs, located at 84650 Avenue 49, in Coachella.

Smoke and flames were seen coming from the mosque at about 12:10 p.m. Cal Fire responded and was able to extinguish the flames in about 35 minutes.

"I turned that corner to show up to work, and if you work a mosque I’m sure you can imagine, you know this kind of thing is in the back of your mind. I pull up to the intersection I turn left and there’s a huge plume of smoke like a mushroom cloud,” said Ray Brewster who does armed security for the Islamic Center.

News Channel 3 and CBS Local 2 confirmed with officials at the mosque that somebody 'fire-bombed' the building around noon. No injuries have been reported at this time and there's no word on the suspect's description.


The arson fire comes just a week after the deadly terrorist attack in San Benardino, about an hour-and-15-minute drive west of the mosque, where 14 people were killed in a mass shooting and 22 others were injured.

The Islamic Society of Palm Springs was targeted by a shooter on November 4, 2014. The suspect was never caught but the mosque offered a $12,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

CNN released a report just one day before the mosque arson fire regarding attacks on U.S. mosques reaching a record high.

Zippy, too bad you weren't there to place your body over the firebomb in order to save the mosque.

We need more martyrs for tolerance.

Really? I'm no fan of Trump, but are you serious?! So pro-lifers are encouraging clinic shootings? RPF'ers are encouraging violence against the police? Is Obama encouraging violence against gun owners?

Exactly how far does this go? If you speak out about something you don't like, you are now inciting violence against it?

Zippy fail.

Don't forget the cry of "racist".......:rolleyes:

And remember just a couple months ago when the nation was up in arms with the half dozen "terrorist" church burnings around Ferguson? Everyone knew it would be a sheet wearing 3-percenter, right up until it wasn't. Then you couldn't find one hundredth of the same coverage on the perp as there was the arsons.

Maybe we should be confiscating gasoline and glass bottles.

Obama has not called for banning all guns or demonized gun owners.


So pro-lifers are encouraging clinic shootings?

Yes- Colorado Springs was just the latest example.

Man arrested on hate crime and arson charges in fire at Coachella Valley mosque

A 23-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of a hate crime and arson related to a fire Friday afternoon at a Coachella Valley mosque.

Carl Dial was arrested about 9 p.m. Friday and booked on five felony charges, including commission of a hate crime, arson, maliciously setting a fire and second-degree burglary, according to law enforcement sources and Riverside County Sheriff’s Department booking records.

The fire at the Islamic Society of the Coachella Valley mosque is one of several incidents over the past week that officials are investigating as possible backlashes from the San Bernardino terrorist shootings. Authorities believe the shooters were self-radicalized Islamic extremists.


“It's horribly lamentable that we would paint any group as undesirables based on the actions of an extremely small number of radical folks that don't represent the religion in any way,” he said.

If this was a Christian Church fire bombed by a Muslim inspired by ISIS people would be all over it. But it was a white dude and a Mosque so no big deal.

So, I was going to criticize this moronic post, but then I reconsidered since Zippy deems criticism to be encouraging violence.

Where in this article does it state that this man is Trump supporter? I heard you like facts. Please present them.

Not sure if you're talking about me or Zippy? In both cases, yes. Zippy pulled Trump into the story. I basically said, "hey, if we're doing this, why stop there?"

Hmmm. Shockingly, TX mosque fire suspect is not a WASP.

Man charged with setting Houston mosque fire was a devout attendee (http://m.chron.com/houston/article/Federal-officials-arrest-man-in-connection-with-6727623.php)


Using surveillance video from multiple businesses nearby, investigators were able to identify Moore, according to records. A search warrant of his home was conducted, in which investigators recovered a backpack and clothing that seemingly matched that which was seen in surveillance footage, as well as one half of a two-pack of charcoal lighter fluid bottles that seemed to match another lighter fluid bottle found inside the mosque.

Bond for Moore has been set at $100,000.

It took about 80 firefighters to put out the two-alarm blaze at the storefront mosque in Savoy Plaza, near Wilcrest Drive and West Bellfort.

Top story on MSNBC, right?

Good question, somebody should ask him.
