‘Arson’ at Tennessee mosque site

‘Successful’ attempt at terrorizing Muslim community takes mosque controversy ‘to whole new level,’ mosque spokeswoman says

A fire started Saturday morning at the site of a controversial mosque expansion in a Nashville suburb is being ruled an arson, CBS affiliate WTVF reports.

Angry words and protests have marked the planned expansion of the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro for weeks, and several minor acts of vandalism have been reported, but the fire in the early hours of Saturday morning that destroyed a hauler and damaged three other pieces of construction equipment takes the issue “to a whole new level,” said the mosque’s spokeswoman, Carmie Ayash.

“Everyone in our community no longer feels safe,” Ayash told the Rutherford County Daily News Journal. “To set a fire that could have blown up equipment and, God forbid, spread and caused damage to the neighbors there … we really feel like this is something that we and the neighbors don’t deserve. When [authorities] called me this morning I started crying.”

Ayash said she believed the point of the arson was to instill fear in Murfreesboro’s Muslim community, and the effort “succeeded.”

Four pieces of equipment were reportedly doused in gasoline, but only one was lit on fire before the alleged arsonist fled.

“Probably, whoever did it got caught in the middle of the act, got scared and left,” Ayash said.

CBS reports:

Digging had begun at the site, which was planned as a place of worship for the approximately 250 Muslim families in the Murfreesboro area, but no structure had been built yet, according to Saleh Sbenaty, a member of the planning committee and a professor of engineering technology at Middle Tennessee State University.

The center had operated for years out of a small business suite. Planning members said the new building, which was being constructed next to a church, would help accommodate the area’s growing Muslim community.

“We unfortunately did not experience hostilities for the 30 years we’ve been here and have only seen the hostility since approval of the site plan for the new center,” said [mosque planning committee member Saleh] Sbenaty.

Ayash initially told the Daily News Journal that the sheriff’s department “told us they will be investigating this as a hate crime,” but later clarified her remarks to say authorities will be pursuing many possible avenues in the investigation.

The Islamic Center of Murfreesboro has been the site of protests for much of the summer, as anger over a planned Muslim community center not far from the Ground Zero site in New York City spread to other mosque sites around the country.

While protest leaders have said their opposition to the mosque revolves around zoning and traffic issues in the area, many protest attendees were unequivocal in their condemnation of Islam as a whole.

“They are not a religion. They are a political, militaristic group,” retiree Bob Shelton told the Associated Press at a protest.

“In Islam, a mosque means ‘We have conquered this country,’” another protester told the media. “And where are they? They’re in the center of Tennessee. They’re going to say, ‘We have conquered Tennessee.’”

CBS reports that Saleh Sbenaty, a member of the mosque’s planning committee, called the fire a “shock” and said whoever did it “should be punished to the full extent of the law.”

    The sheer amount of thickheaded, oblivious irony would be simply laughable if it didn’t portend of more ominous things to come.

    Some are concerned that the mosque would be a command center for terrorism, so the answer is…to respond with arson, of course! Even a 3rd grader would understand that this is textbook terrorism.

    It’s a historical truism that any time the mob runs roughshod over a vulnerable minority, the mob will tell you THEY are the ones about to be crushed.

    What is it with certain brands of Christianity and their apparent NEED to be victimized and play martyr, anyway? These symbolic reenactments of the crucifixion are utterly grotesque and deserve no place in civil society. Christianity may well be the original “cult of personality” in that regard.

    I really want all these nasty, craven, perpetually terrified, allegedly-Good-Christian baby boomer geezers to just go curl up in their coffins and stop screwing everything up for the rest of us. Haven’t they done enough damage already?

    3000 of your own ppl? You seem to have missed the number of nationalities who were killed in the World Trade Center on Sept 11. From Wikipedia: Aside from the approximately 2,669 United States casualties, 310 foreign nationals (excluding the nineteen perpetrators) also perished in the attacks, i.e. just over 10% of the total number of deaths. The following is a list of their nationalities (not accounting for at least some cases of dual-citizenship). By far the foreign country with the largest loss of life was the United Kingdom, with 67 deaths (including the overseas territory of Bermuda). India had 41, South Korea had 28 and Canada and Japan had 24 each. Colombia had seventeen and Jamaica, Mexico and the Philippines had sixteen each. Australia and Germany had eleven each, while Italy had ten.
    The WTC site belongs to the world and to its many religions, not to the right-wing crazies – Sarah, Glenn, FOX and the Koch Brothers – to politicize for their own agendas. Again, like lemmings, you are marching aimlessly to the loudest drumbeat. Shame on you.

    Of course 9-11 was an inside job, the indispensable trigger for the long-planned WW-III between Islam and Christianity. Take away that one (admittedly very elaborate) false flag operation and there would be no excuse for the anti-Muslim hysteria now being so cynically promoted by Fox and the GOP, it would literally make no sense.

    Note: Questioning the foundational myth of the post 9-11 world order can now legally get your ass killed by presidential order.

    My first response is, “ha ha!,” but then I realize just how pointless an exercise this is. One must purchase a flag (or make it) before you destroy it. On the one hand, you’re financially supporting the very group your protesting (while at the same time being their intolerant equals, would you burn bibles as an answer to those who would burn the qu’ran or any other religious text?). On the other, you’re devoting your time to create something you intend to destroy (this isn’t the same as they symbolic exercise of destruction like at Burning Man). Better to use one’s time reaching out to others and combating intolerance by setting a good example to follow instead of having your literally inflammatory actions stoke the anger of others towards possible violence.

    Besides, you can get fined if you burn rubbish without a permit, even if it you were to ironically tread on and then burn the Gadsden flag.

    the estimates for percentage of adherents to Islam in the U.S. range from 0.8% (generally accepted number), while Pew puts them at about 0.6% of the population.

    to see these xtian pantswetters fret (in America, roughly 78.4% of the population self identify as christian, sometimes cited as high as 84%), you would imagine they were in some way threatened.

    using the more conservative number, 78% of the population is 240.5 million christians
    using the less conservative number, 0.8% of the population is 2.5 million muslims.

    outnumbering muslims by nearly a 100:1 ratio, these cowards are still threatened, how sad.

    That’s exactly what I’m thinking. Think back on every generation of young people who ever took a deliberately different path than their parents or responded to social turmoil by embracing the path that met their needs for identity. Given the racism that belies the conservative movement, and especially the Tea Party movement, black youth who have a spiritual calling could find no better path than Islam, a religion that embraces them and offers refuge from the storms of persecution fomented by Christian right. Indeed, youth of all ethnicities whose spirits call them to a higher humanity recognize in mass the futility of fulfilling their calling within the Christian religion. In fact, the very though has become repulsive to so many that they are left to wander in the desert to seek God, a desert uncontaminated, disinfected of the sheer evil that “christianity” has become in the hands of their parent’s generation.

    Upon a thorough investigation and a talk with their new fearless leader, Glenn Beck, the FBI will determine that it was the Muslims and Bin Laden who burned the Mosque, just to inflame the passions of liberty in the American public. A pristine lighter and an unburned type written note with Bin Laden’s name on it will be found in the middle of the burned mosque as proof. Pay no attention to the CIA letterhead at the top of the note. There will also be a Nigerian birth certificate with Obama’s name on it.

    I am from NYC and there are NO moslems in downtown NYC. They are doing this to poke a finger in the eye of America. Mosques don’t belong, where they don’t belong. Build where there is a congregation, not merely to desecrate hollowed ground.Maybe next time the Mullah from some foreign place will want to build a mosque next to Gettysburg Battlefield. A place where no moslems shed a drop of blood. Skihs Moslems and other Eastern religions are all over NYC but don’t plant their religous centers where they don’t practice.

    One has to wonder what kind of “Christian” would do this. I know Jesus Christ wouldn’t. Peace was his thing, not war. Inner Light was his teaching, not the light from an arson fire. Yes, Jesus talked of tearing down the temple and rebuilding it in three days, but this was in reference to his Resurrection, a Spiritual Light experience proving that Light cancels out darkness, that Spirit ALWAYS triumphs over the flesh, and Eternal Life overcomes death.

    Since there is no plan for a new Mosque near the WTC site, you should have no problems with the plans for a community center at 51 Park Place.

    If Muslims were to build a Mosque on land near the WTC, do you have a reason for being against the Mosque that doesn’t include anti-Muslim bigotry?

    In this act (which shouldnt have happened) there was not an attempt to
    kill people.

  • Smatchmo

    Before we all start calling this a hate crime, which it very well may be, how about we wait a lil bit to see what, if any, evidence turns up.

    There has been a scary and dangerous amount of anti-muslim bigotry, true. And it is also true that there is a long and notorious history in the South (and in Texas) of torching/bombing non-Protestant, non-white houses of worship.

    But this act *could* have been done by anyone, include someone who is muslim, for any reason (pick one) and we’d look like total fools if we started screaming “HATE CRIME!” and it turns out the culprit in this recent and (so far) isolated incident is a mental unstable person who claims to be a muslim.

    Having said that, if I were a betting man I’d bet on it being a hate crime. But let’s hold off on rushing to judgment til more facts come in.

    Terrorism doesn’t have to involve death. Terrorism is defined as “the calculated use of violence (or the threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear”.

    Oh yeah? When was that mosque built?
    51 Park Place had fallen ash and debris (a piece of one of the planes). I say that qualifies it for the designation “Ground Zero.” The plane part is what induced them to buy the property in the first place.

    “”In Islam, a mosque means ‘We have conquered this country,’” another protester told the media. “And where are they? They’re in the center of Tennessee. They’re going to say, ‘We have conquered Tennessee.’”"

    Where did they get that idea? From all those xtian conquistadors planting crosses on conquered lands before enslaving the natives and stealing the resources! Projection. Simple blind projection.

    Pah!

    TAX all churches. Religion is merely an insurance business, with no provable payout, and not a single one of them serves the public good.

    1. That is a run on sentence, and it makes it difficult to understand exactly what your point is.
    2. How do you know Genessender is a man? Why would it require “testicular fortitude” (a sadly unoriginal phrase, btw) to be part of the military?
    3. If one had undeniable proof that someone was going to attack, it might be justifiable to take precautionary measures, but in the United States one is innocent until PROVEN guilty.
    4. These people want to build a mosque. A mosque is just another word for church. Church, mosque, synagogue, Baha’i center, temple… If someone finds inner peace following the teachings of Jesus, that’s wonderful. If they find it following the teachings of any other religious leader that’s equally beautiful and admirable. I admire all people who are spiritual in a way that is not a detriment to others, regardless of the label. I also respect those who cannot accept religious teachings, for whatever reason. It is a personal decision.
    5. Being crude simply makes you seem ignorant. It does nothing for your argument.
    6. Just being someone doesn’t believe committing arson is the way to solve problems doesn’t mean they hate America. I love America, and I am glad to be here. Am I proud that racists, sexists, bigots, and hatemongers are able to call themselves Americans when they so clearly do not understand the principles the country was founded upon? No, but I’m not going to burn down their property, or threaten them in any way.
    7. What’s wrong with Canada? They kicked our (the U.S.’s) ass a couple times when we tried invading.
    8. I don’t really get why you responded to Genessender’s post in the first place, he or she was only saying that this is probably being blown out of proportion.
    9. Please read the Holy Qur’an or have an open and mutually respectful conversation with some Muslims before making assumptions.
    10. …Seriously? My anal cavity? Why waste two rockets?

  • Damonwlf

    Hey idiot, how many Tenn Muslims have blown themselves up this year?
    Suspected arson my ass…it’s called terrorism.

  • Damonwlf

    The term you meant to use is Enemy Combatant. And it was the Republican Bush administration that labeled them that so they could hold them indefinitely without due process.
    I think we need to waterboard this Christian terrorist when caught and find out what he knows in an attempt to prevent future terrorist acts against Americans.

  • Damonwlf

    n.
    A mosque.

    [Arabic, from Aramaic *masgid, place of worship, from səged, to bow down, worship.]

    In world-speak, American Christian means “bigoted mean spirited homicidal idiot that loves to have others kill for them in Jesus’ name while they sit on their fat lazy asses at home getting into everyone else business/bedroom/religion/politics/sexuality/ect.”.

  • Damonwlf

    Look up the meaning of the word terrorism. It doesn’t need homicide to be called terror. Just an attempt to influence or cause action through terror.

  • Damonwlf

    let’s find this domestic terrorist, label him an enemy combatant, put him in Guantanamo, and waterboard him till he tell us everything he knows as preventing future terrorist acts that endanger Americans. That is the goal of Guantanamo and our torture programs isn’t it?

    On a side note, I want to ask Christians how they can be so insensitive as to build a church so near ground zero in Oklahoman city? Isn’t that church celebrating a Christian victory over America and it’s government?

    Chordshot, if someone pointed a rocket or two at your anal cavity would you consider using moderately correct grammar? Because you really seem like a fool with such poor grasp of the English language. And by the way, it’s traditionally referred to as “intestinal fortitude.” Or even if referring to your genitals, I think you meant “testicular fortitude.” How can I take you seriously?
