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."

Geez. Isn’t there one Deputy Dawg around who will say, “Terrorism isn’t suspected”. We’ve got them all over the joint here.

Gun, knife, rock, fist...people will do whatever it takes when pushed enough. Or die.

I won’t say this was NOT a non muzzie action. But they need a Reichstag. The Dhimmis are stirring.

Just a side observation...

All gun control accomplishes is making for more brutal, pain filled deaths. When people are bashing each other to death with bats and rocks, the libs can be proud.

IF by hate crime you mean insurance fraud, they most likely yes!

So...the beheading of an English soldier by an Islamic Terrorist is “not” a hate crime?

Muzzies themselves set fire to this Mosque. Doubt EDL is dumb enough to sign their own name...I think even the more liberal on here who dislike EDL think they would not sign their own name if they did it

God bless those who had the courage to carry out such and act.

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

The EDL letters seem only to easy to have the finger pointed. The EDL would have to be the biggest damn fools to have put this lettering up. It remains to be seen and hopefully this organization should speak up.

I sadly smiled at the statement by a conservative member of parliament and his " attack on muslims is an attack on all of us" sort of thing. Reminds me of a small boy in my youthful days at school in England. Saying something to please the teacher and then sitting down with a smug look on his visage.

See! what a good boy am I!

ah, To bad so sad.
I think if you stop chopping people into little bits, raping children, beheading people who don’t agree with you I might be more sympathetic.

As the ancients would say....”Someone set a cock on the mosque.”

“Set a cock” is an old term for burning something. It comes from the red comb on the roosters.
