Houston: Muslim pleads guilty to mosque arson that Hamas-linked CAIR called “hate incident”

Dec 10, 2016 3:34 pm By Robert Spencer

At the time the fire was set, it garnered much attention as a “hate crime”: “The Houston chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations called on authorities to investigate a possible bias motive in the case, citing what it called a ‘recent spike in hate incidents targeting mosques nationwide.’” But it turns out to have been yet another fake hate crime. Islamic supremacist groups such as the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) want and need hate crimes against Muslims, because they’re the currency they use to buy power and influence in our victimhood-oriented society, and to deflect attention away from jihad terror and onto Muslims as putative victims. Hamas-linked CAIR, designated a terror organization by the United Arab Emirates, and other Muslims have on many occasions not hesitated to stoop even to fabricating “hate crimes,” including attacks on mosques. Most notably, in February, a New Jersey Muslim was found guilty of murder that he tried to portray as an “Islamophobic” attack, and in 2014 in California, a Muslim was found guilty of killing his wife, after first blaming her murder on “Islamophobia.”

“Houston man pleads guilty in mosque fire on Christmas Day,” by Brian Rogers, Houston Chronicle, December 9, 2016 (thanks to Mike):

A Houston man was sentenced Friday to four years in prison after pleading guilty to starting a fire at a mosque on Christmas Day.

Gary Nathaniel Moore, 38 of Houston, was arrested last year in connection with a fire at 2 p.m. on Dec. 25 at a storefront mosque in the 1200 block of Wilcrest.

Moore told investigators at the scene that he had attended the mosque for five years, coming five times per day to pray seven days per week, according to court records.

Moore pleaded guilty to arson and using a fire as a deadly weapon, an enhancement which means he will have to serve at least half of the prison time before being eligible for parole….

      This is just another stunt, The hijab pulling-off, bacon on mosque doors, and now arson is just another bunch of crap!! Do you not suppose there is a little planning here? Trump is elected. So called “hate crimes” and numerous reports of such are reported in record numbers………. But now with fire damage, they can make claims to insurance companies, and this elevates ALL of our rates… But they collect the money..
      Seems to me Obama has his own fake flag, claiming that Russia has rigged the election.. According to the Muslim in charge of the CIA!!! Pray that Trump throws Brennan out the door, puts in people who no longer are acting on behalf of the Muslim interests in destroying us…
      False Flags are flying everywhere!!! Heads up America!!

    So Gary Nathaniel Moore attended this mosque every day, seven days a week, five times daily, for five years. I guess he just didn’t have the time to find an actual job. Who could blame him for being angry? Why, he might have become a corporate power broker, or the U.S. Consul to Burkina Faso, or something….wait, I know! A community organizer!

      One has to understand that muslims are fully allowed and permitted by islam to lie, deceive and even murder as long as they are on the path of advancing the cause of islam and muslims… In islam, it is considered a great meritorious religious act or (Sunna Mu’akad) to lie and deceive and even murder as long as the intention of the muslim is to advance the cause of islam and muslims. This may be shocking and inconceivable to the Western mind but it is a religious FACT in islam and it is practiced by millions of true and serious muslims all around the globe.

    Gary Nathaniel Moore, 38 of Houston

    Is that really the name he still goes by?

    • gravenimage says

      Dec 10, 2016 at 7:26 pm

      Almost certainly not–but this is probably still his legal name. Muslim converts rarely have their names legally changed in Infidel courts of law.

      But it *is*, as you note, salient if he is now going by Muhammed Muhamad al-Jihad or something similar these days.

    What was his motive? Being part of an obfuscation-promoting project? Apparently he had no time to look for a job? How did he support himself and/or his family? Wait! Probably the taxpayers. Wonder if he is a convert. His imam should certainly know what he was up to seeing he was such a assiduous attendant at his mosque. So many questions, so few answer…

    CAIR – Charlatns for Aggression, Intimidation, and Revision. Never an apology when falsely blaming the infidels.

    When the real backlash comes in Europe, these folks will be irrelevant as the reality of Islam Ideology becomes plain to everyone. There may always be good Muslims, yet, in addition, there will also be “the motherload” of bad ideas, Islamic Ideology. And from it, violent jihad and aggression may spring at any time.

    of course C.A.I.R. was correct when said it was a “HATE CRIME”! It was done by a muslim who was filled with the spirit of islam which is HATE DEATH and DARKNESS and HELL!

  10. Oliver says

    Dec 10, 2016 at 5:32 pm

    Perhaps (just a guess) he is a Sunni and this was a Shia mosque-or the reverse?

    And, he just found out that the one that HE IS NOT is (one of the false) sects of Islam. So he wanted to shut it down, so others would not pray to the wrong Mohammed.

    Just a guess.

    Another guess- he is an ex convict.

    As usual, no one demands that Ku Klux Kair explain themselves.

  12. davej says

    Dec 10, 2016 at 6:22 pm

    So he prayed at the Mosque 63,875 times in 5 years then set fire to it. Now that’s devotion.

    I suspect he just wanted to help out with the whole Islamophobia/backlash/victimization meme, no doubt thought this would get the attention of the media and CAIR, with the truth, if it ever came out, being buried and no apologies from CAIR.

    BTW, what ever happened about tracking down the author of those multiple anti-Islam letters from a couple of weeks ago?

      …………………………..

      How is setting fire to a Mosque and falsely blaming it on Infidels an “asset”?

      How is making note of this fake Muslim victim-mongering “hostile”–except that Muslims consider Infidels saying anything unflattering about Mohammedans “libelous”.

      How is any of this barbarism an asset to civilized Infidel nations? It is not. If Muslims were to decamp en masse, we would be safer, more secure, and wealthier.

      @ibraham itace muhammed

      It is a shame that muslims don’t pray to the True God or follow His true Prophets.
      Yes,prophets plural(in many languages) and not just one(who speaks only Arabic-ridiculous!!).
      You ignore Moses’ teachings on the Commandments and the peaceful message of Jesus Christ
      in favor of mahomet,a man who devoted his life to war,violence and the breaking of God’s laws
      (especially the 6th/7th/8th/9th/10th commandments in particular.No true prophet would EVER do that!).
      Then you would understand how important it is to obey His commandments (given to the Jews and the Christians) which the koran ignores and happily violates.

      For no true prophets of God would encourage others to disobey God’s commandments,to sin or to do evil would they?
      Moses didn’t ,Elijah didn’t and Jesus didn’t.
      But mahomet did.

      Turn away from your counterfeit koranic “allah” with his anti-Christian,anti-Semitic hatred ,in your temples of baal and turn to the True God.

      Remember that mahomet’s teaching[“slay the unbeliever”} violates God’s Sixth commandment.
      So you have a choice here,to do good or to do evil.
      Who do you muslims choose to obey,God or mahomet?

      If you follow mahomet you are in violation of His Sixth Commandment ,an enemy of God and you will
      certainly pay for your evil-doing.God condemns murder(“allah” doesn’t of course which means the koranic “allah” isn’t God.God cannot violate/encourage the breaking of His Commandments).

      But if you follow God’s Commandment first you are choosing not to do evil and you will have to accept
      that mahomet’s teachings or wrong.

      So muslims,who is more important,GOD’S commandments OR mahomet’s teachings?
      Besides,isn’t GOD more important than any prophet?It seems members of ISIS regard mahomet
      as being ABOVE GOD.That’s why they happily ignore God’s prohibition on murder in the Sixth commandment.But that makes them enemies of GOD and certain,like all islamic supremacists,to be
      the very ones most likely to suffer His anger.Think about that.

    I hate to rain on your parade, Spencer, but I have received a secret transmission here in my home office that a group of Alt-Conservative radicals made this Moslem falsely confess or his family would be murdered. It is well known what great family men Moslems are. I’ve heard Rev Louis preach that many times.

    My first thought was “arson for insurance purposes”.

    Of course, Mohammedans do not get on with each other, so a grudge against somebody or more than one somebody within the mosque is also possible.

    • Oliver says

      Dec 11, 2016 at 8:59 am

      But if because did not get along with one or more people. Wouldn’t it make sense to have the fire when they are thrre?

      Or burn their home or. Homes
      Or vehicles. O realizes Muslims are not great thinkers

    • gravenimage says

      Dec 11, 2016 at 9:44 pm

      Yes–it could be insurance fraud, it could be some grievance against the Imam or other Mosque-goers, or it could be a fake “hate crime”. It could also be a combination of #1 and #3.

      God, I hate Islam.

    “War is deceit.” Mohammed. Islam is and always was at war with non-believers. Only the useful idiots on the Left see Islam as a religion of peace. They operaate on the belief the crocodile will eat them last.

    Historically, Islam has only been rolled back by military action.

    Posing as someone else to make an enemy look bad or guilty is an old, old trick of democrats. Act like a Tea Party person while beating a conservative black man then blame it on Conservatives which the media leaps upon although it was proven a lie quickly but The SEIU nor any Democrat apologized they simply try again in OWS, BLM and Trump “riot” in Chicago which was another SEIU or Soros-led paid riot by Democratic thugs. If only the slimy President or his slimy media were honest it would stop at once.
    Notice how Soros himself is never attacked nor is Reid, Obama, Hillary or Stalin just Conservatives.

    • Cretius says

      Dec 11, 2016 at 11:03 am

      It fits perfectly with the Mohammedan teaching of using deceit and lies to protect Mohammedans and to further the goals of Islam, i.e. world domination. Muhammad said “war is deceit’ and that is what we see in Islam today.

      Mohammed and his ‘companions’ posed as ‘refugees’ and as ‘persecuted’ and then, having gotten inside the gates, preyed upon the well-meaning and naive compassion of the Christians and Jews of Yathrib, now Mecca. Mohammed then proceeded to behave atrociously toward his kind-hearted hosts.

    Perhaps he was inspired by suicide bombing of mosques belonging to
    Brand X of Islam by competing Brand Y of Islam, as happens all the time in the
    Islamic countries where there no dhimmies left to kill.
