Fire rips through Islamic Center near San Diego

Burn, baby, burn!

[GoLightly]

Syria, Turkey and Iran have a beef w/ some Kurds. Also too, PKK is a terrorist organization, hard-line Marxists.

[RichardW]

I would never encourage arsonists but in this case.....

[bikerman]

Sob!Sob!

[NEMDF]

I am guessing that the firefighters were not in a particular hurry to put this one out.

"In my opinion, any comments suggesting that it's a good idea to burn down Islamic centers or mosques should be removed from the thread. That attitude is reducing ourselves to the same level as radical Muslims."

Reply to myself: Which would apparently be most of the comments on this thread.

ROFLMFAO!!!!!

[CremeSaver]

That's nice to hear. I wish them well, they have suffered a great deal between the Turks and Saddam.

[brownsfan]

"That attitude is reducing ourselves to the same level as radical Muslims."

Nope, that attitude is survival instinct kicking in. They are the enemy in our midst.

[RichardW]

Well, if it were the Kurdish center then this is bad news. Look to the Shia and Sunnis for the culprits. If you don't believe exactly as they do, they saw your head off as being "Allah's" will. No doubt "Allah" ordered up this fire.

Wait one ... Kurdish Community Islamic Center? Don't discount this being a reach out of the insurgency. Saddam and his ilk hate the Kurds. That is the part of Iraq that is thriving under democracy. Let's not go off half-cocked here everyone.

[Sacajaweau]

And guess where the insurance money will go. These folks are going "deep underground".

[rahbert]

I concur.

That is behavior more appropriate to DU.

[liberte]

Fuzzy moral math:

Burning down empty buildings == Raping, killing, and torturing


Umm...sure.

[KylaStarr]

This building isn't that far from where I live and I've driven past it many times. It always struck me as an odd place as the whole property was surrounded by chain link fencing and I very rarely saw any cars or people at this center.

I really don't like going down into El Cajon shopping as it creeps me out being in a store with the heavily veiled women in black. I'll apologize right off the bat for that but I'm sorry, it creeps me out and pi$$es me off.

It will be interesting to hear more news on this.

[Bob J]

What? And ruin the image of FR as full of nutz and extremists?

[Steve_Seattle]

I've never been more disgusted by a thread than by this one; I'm surprised the moderators are allowing it. It seems inconsistent with the "no violence" rule.

[NormsRevenge]

Neither of the sources I posted articles from chose to get that explicit as to the fact it was Kurdish.


hmmmm...

[justshutupandtakeit]

Were there things in the building there which caused such a fire?

[Ditter]

LOL! Just what I was going to say!
