Al-Rahma Islamic Centre destroyed in 'hate crime' fire
BBC News ^ | June 5, 2013

Posted on 06/05/2013 6:46:02 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

An Islamic centre in north London has been destroyed by a fire in an apparent hate crime attack.

The Met Police said the fire, which happened at the Al-Rahma Islamic Centre in Muswell Hill in the early hours, is being treated as suspicious.

A spokesman said the letters EDL (English Defence League) were sprayed on to the building, used by the Somali Bravanese Welfare Association.

MP Theresa Villiers said: "This kind of hate crime is absolutely despicable."

The Conservative MP for Chipping Barnet said: "This is not just an attack on the Muslim community it is an attack on all of us and our values. Community 'shocked'

"We are a highly diverse multi-ethnic borough with excellent community cohesion in Barnet. We should under no circumstances allow violent extremists to divide us with this kind of outrage."

Trying to find my sense of outrage but it’s not cooperating.

What “values” would those be, “Conservative MP”? I HATE the way the left always try to define “who WE are” as a country. It’s ALWAYS THEIR definition. IOW...”moral relativism”.

Anybody find a quote from Theresa expressing her outrage at the terrorist murder of the Brit soldier?

Probably the moozlums did it themselves like most of the “hate” crimes in USA...usually some disgruntled, self-loathing LIB does something to them selves. Similar to moozlum being a “religion of peace”, maybe the perps really loved the moozlums and wanted to welcome them.

One man's "hate crime" is another man's act of self preservation.

Just sayin'.....

If investigating authorities are saying that the fire is being “treated as suspicious”, then why is the BBC definitively concluding that it’s a hate crime?

As an earlier commenter suggested, a high percentage of these alleged hate crimes are proven to be hoaxes. Here’s a list of examples...

When gun control is too tight people resort to the older approaches to making statements ~ fire is one. There is a very long tradition of this throughout the world so it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

If the Brits would lighten up on the gun thing you'd see a handful of individuals assassinated and that'd be he end of that.

OMG, I’m just going to have to get a pork BBQ sandwich, just to mourn this horrible tragedy. Maybe the tragedy could be mourned by pouring liquified pig feces on the mosque’s charred remains, possibly sweetened by a bit of monkey urine.

I wish it was self-preserving Brits, but my bet’s on a Muslim.
