Islamic supremacists need anti-Muslim hate crimes to further their claims that Muslims are being victimized unfairly by counter-terror efforts, and that therefore those counter-terror efforts should cease. In this case, Hamas-linked terror org CAIR called for a hate crime investigation, and other Islamic supremacists rushed to claim it was a hate crime. Will they now retract and apologize? Of course not. Like Hitler’s army, they only advance, never retreat.
“Texas Islamic Center Fire Appears Not to be a Hate Crime,” by Lana Shadwick, Breitbart, February 16, 2015 (thanks to David):
HOUSTON, Texas – An arrest was announced at 6 p.m. Monday night at the Houston Fire Department Arson Headquarters in connection with the February 13th Quba Islamic Institute fire. Darryl Ferguson, age 55 of Houston, has been charged with arson. It appears the fire is not a hate crime. Ferguson told reporters at the police station that he was just trying to keep warm and the fire was an accident.
Ferguson approached detectives who were investigating in the area around the Islamic Institute and asked to talk to them, according toABC13 News in Houston. He is reported to have voluntarily admitted to setting the fire.
Breitbart Texas reported on the day of the fire that Houston fire officials confirmed that an accelerant was used to start the blaze. The early morning fire destroyed a storage area at a southeast Houston Islamic community and education center. The fire began at about 5 a.m. last Friday morning. A warehouse used to store books, furniture and supplies was destroyed but the mosque and school were untouched….
Why would an anti-Muslim hatemonger set a fire but not at the mosque?
According to ABC13 News, Ferguson also has a criminal history for credit card abuse, trespassing, possession of a controlled substance, and prostitution. His criminal history does not include arson.
Breitbart Texas journalist Bob Price reported after the fire that left-of-center media appeared to have jumped to conclusions about who may have started the inferno and that the fire was started intentionally and was a hate crime.
Angemon says
If the decisive factor for something to be declared a hate crime is the religion of the victim(s), expect to see a lot of similar backpedaling…
jay says
So I guess no homeless programs or outreach to those in need from the great followers of Allah, eh? Just constant whining about being victims while claiming to be the best while contributing nothing to society that owes them everything.
Francis Merde says
They only care about the homeless if they’re Muslim, silly. =)
AppleRob says
haven’t seen much jewish organizations for the homeless also
john spielman says
that’s because there are NO homeless Jews. they are all hardworking
JeffS says
AppleRob says “haven’t seen much jewish organizations for the homeless also”. It looks like we have a new antisemite here! How nice. Just to set the record straight, not for AppleRob, who I’m sure won’t let facts get in the way of his antisemitism, but for those who don’t know, Jews have an idea called tikkun olam, which means “repairing the world”. We learn from infancy to give tzedakah, or charity, and our money goes to help many causes, including many outside our faith. Every Jewish New Year, our synagogue, my sister’s synagogue, and my parents’ synagogue, give bags to the congregation to fill with food for the homeless. We have regular volunteers at soup kitchens to feed the homeless. My sister and her son just took part in a coat drive for the poor and homeless.
daniel says
you sound like the islamaphobe wallahs,so jews are exempt from criticism?? they are just as mental as all the other religious nutters,can’t pick yer nose on the sabath….get a life,preferably “after” in your case.
Western Canadian says
Not just an average run of the gutter Jew hater, but an anti religious nut case as well…. Really nice of you to take time off from searching the internet for Jewish and Christian hate sites, but you seem to have taken a very wrong turn….. Which is why your head is stuck up your own……..
AppleRob says
but jay talked about how muslims don’t contribute to society because he hasn’t seen any, so that reminded me of how i didn’t see jews helping society, but you gave an example showing otherwise. tzedakah sounds look like a good concept. I hope your family keeps doing good work like that! i feel like though i heard that kind of concept elsewhere as well. there was a similar word to that concept you mentioned too.
Brian Hoff says
Than retire firefighter post on FaceBook to fire Department to not put out the fire just to let it burn. I donot think thie retire fireman need any retire benfict for his hate crime.
sencit says
But beheading twentyone young Christian Coptic men simply for being Christians is not hate crime?
You people are warped in mind and grossly evil.
TGP says
Dude, either turn off your autocorrect or turn it on, because your post is intelligible. I think I know what you meant, but damn.
TGP says
Turn on your autocorrect, give us a fighting chance to figure out what you mean.
Western Canadian says
Sorry, but if you have more brains than the average boiled turnip, you will never be able to translate brain offs drivel and gibberish into anything making sense…..

If You spent Your entire Youth Nodding over a Koran in the Madrassa I’m afraid that is the best You can do with English !! 🙁
somehistory says
Oh, they will probably decide that the man *hated* being cold and so…voila…hate crime. Much like reporting on what a muslim said or wrote, quoting said muslim, turns into *slander*. And telling the truth about what their book says is *racism* and *bigotry.*
And Christians dying at muslim hands is not due to islam, but it’s anti-crusade justified.
The cair and other supremacist muslim groups won’t let go just because they are wrong. If that happened….it would turn islam on its evil head.
AppleRob says
yeah too many supremacist groups like the anti-defamation league and the naacp.
Ringgo1 says
You just can’t help your anti-semitic self, can you? Pathetic.
AppleRob says
cair is a supremacist group. the adl is a supremacist group. i’m just expanding the logic you all use

Qatar’s Al Jazeera network got their hands caught in the proverbial felafel jar today when it recycled pictures of dead children from an accident months ago, claiming they were killed in Egypt’s overnight bombing of ISIS positions in Derna, Libya.

Keith says
I thought that was standard muslim practice.
AppleRob says
are you bandit keith
Western Canadian says
AppleROT would appear to be another low-grade muslim, trying to be amusing, and failing miserably… at humour, and everything else worthwhile in life.
AppleRob says
Nice play on words Canadian! I like your humour

The Eskilstuna mosque fire in Sweden is never mentioned anymore.
All but forgot, evaporated, made to vanish.
The first week or so we couldn’t hear ourselves speak for the outraged screams. And then, suddenly …woosh, nothing. Except for those who hadn’t followed developments, and had to be told.

CAIR: manufacturing ‘hate-crimes’ to make gullible infidels donate to their cause.
harveynextman says
Why are we so quick to assume a consistently lying media is reporting this properly? Not that I believe this was a hate crime, but could this possibly be a function of the media finally realizing their folly of not reporting hate crimes that muslims commit and strangely trying to make up for it by not reporting hate crimes against muslims. Like in order to make up for misrepresenting islam, they are now going to misrepresent all hate crimes as they slowly apologize for their indiscretions.
alexius comnenus says
They should investigate ISIS if they did some anti-Christians hate crime.
I am sick and tired of msuslim so called islamophobia. That’s a BC.
All the trouble in the woprld is generated by the islam.
It must be isolated.

Have you noticed that every time a Muslim commits crimes inspired by Koran and Hadith, and emulating the role model of Mohamed, it is expallin away as “work violence” or ” racial dispute”, while every time somebody gose beserk and harms a Muslims(s) it is always interpreted as “Islamophobia” and hate crime!
HYave you seen Amy Goodman’s talk about a report on “islamophobia: Manufarturing hate, wehre Robert Spencer, Pamella Geller, Da niel Pipes were pictured as part of this “hate network”. I do hope that all the indiviudals who were singled out in this report by an American Muslim woman representing a Center for American Progress” will sue them in court and thus expoise Islamic ideology of HATE for what it really IS. SUE THEM. LAWFARE may be out best defense! Obama should be also sued by many individual citizens all over USA for destruction of US.
M S case says
I have a feeling that before too long they will be setting a lot of fires and doing other damage to Islamic structures and such themselves and try to blame it on Islamaphobic hate crimes.
deedee says
in the UK most of so called islamaphobia attacks turn out either to be false or they did it themselves to cause out rage and gain sympathy .
