A second fire in less than five weeks occurred at a mosque in Joplin, Missouri early Monday morning. The cause of the latest inferno is still unknown, but Monday’s flames were much more devastating than those that occurred July 4, in an incident that authorities later determined was an act of arson.
“The building was completely destroyed; along with the security cameras,” Jasper County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Sharon Rhine said in an email. “We don’t know at this time if it was arson.”

The FBI was involved with the investigation of the July fire, which was also set at approximately 3:30 a.m. The fire was contained on the roof, and extinguished by the Jasper County Fire Department. On July 16, the FBI announced that surveillance video showed “an unidentified white male walking up to the building and throwing an ignited object onto the roof.”

How does everyone else feel? Personally, I'm sick in seeing this kind of thing happening so close to me. I'm only guessing, but I will take a guess that the fire bug who did this, never even met or got to know anyone who attended the building he destroyed. I'll bet assumptions and hate ruled the night for this criminal. I hope he isn't on the loose for very long. This kind of thing can lead to bad places, quickly.
Thoughts? Anyone think I'm too harsh in my views of Joplin's fire starter?

Yes, our enemy is primarily, if not exclusively Muslim.

It is just your imaginary enemy, and it's less healthy than having imaginary friends.

It is possible that the second case is arson.
If so, it is also possible that it was started by a Muslim. Who knows? Insurance fires happen too.

I'm sorry, but the motto is to deny ignorance, not embrace it. To ignore the fact that Combat operations have been ongoing, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for over 10 years in Muslim nations and against Muslim/Jihadi fighters IS ignorance.
I don't mean disrespect, but I don't apologize for being blunt. We're fighting them...and thousands of American deaths with 10's of thousands of American wounded prove the point of a 2 sided war. Therefore, it's a simple statement of cold fact that we're in a war, we're fighting Muslims and it's going on as we speak.
The fact the people we're fighting and who ARE fighting us (all those thousands of Flag draped coffins into Dover didn't come as some elaborate scheme to fool us with propaganda) are the minority are what people like the man in the video don't seem to grasp.
Given the fact there are well over 1 Billion practicing Muslims in the world, I call this kinda of crime horrible (if it was political) because I'll bet not a single one at that location had anything whatsoever to do with that minority we fight. I can't possibly know....but math is behind my in thinking the folks in Joplin were almost certainly among the Billion plus that aren't fighting anyone.
I've literally met folks in this area who honestly haven't met a 'real life' Muslim or Hindu.

I have a strange feeling of doubt when I wonder if you'd pose the same idea if this was a church, or a school, or a house...

I still can't believe a grown person who has critital thinking
still thinks like that.
When it's in the corporations best interest, they send the military to do the
dirty work. And the tptb are very interested in the Middle-East for obvious economical reasons.
And they sell you the idea that "Islam" is the enemy, just like blacks, Indians, Japanese, Viet-Namese, Koreans, Communist, Drugs(lol), were once the big bad enemy, and now it's "Islam". It seems the U.S needs enemies to survive.
Deny ignorance.
