Obviously no sane person supports violent attacks on mosques, but considering US mosques are demonstrably responsible for preaching Saudi-sponsored Wahhabism, it's unsurprising that mosques will become targets of violence. Expect more in the future and also expect suicide bombings in US cities to be only a question of when and how devastating.

muslims are less popular than herpes now. And it is only muslims that can change this.

The left and other mulitculti types have tried to shut people up by calling them names, and this has only made the reaction more angry and intense.

If muslims want to be part of Western society and not be widely disliked, they are going to have to start a massive and meaningful (and honest) PR campaign. This means marching when mulsims blow stuff up. Writing letters to the editor denouncing muslim violence by the thousands. Publicly challenging the hate that is spat in almost every mosque. Opposing the taxi drivers who won't take blind dudes and their dogs. And they better get on it quick. And not being so gawddamed defensive and tribal.

Like the Mexicans who take Mexican flags to pro-immigration rallies and alienate those who would likely support them, the muslims are their own worst enemy. Constantly playing the victim card is getting them nowhere.

By the by. Setting fire to a small mosque isn't a bomb. These are bombs:

I'm just wondering if thep_eel [sic] will have wet dreams about this tonight.

I'm confident the moderates will rally around and denounce the actions of the slimeballs who did this. I'm not going to say anything about what happens or doesn't happen in other countries. I'm more concerned that people in my country act correctly.

Funny you ought to talk about the Iraq war in this thread. if it makes you feel any better most white supremacists opposed the Iraq war.

They blame it on neo conservatives just like you do .

I don't know what people on this board think, but I think this is heading towards another big war. A worldish war. There's too many conflicts that have been arising, history repeats itself, and it's about time. Not sure that the US will be on the winning side this time though.

[Joo Rip Gwa Rhhee]

Let me also add that I am very upset by this hate crime and act of domestic terror.

I had hoped the US was better than this.

Let me say, that most people in America whether Christian or Muslim are rather tolerant. The people who firebombed the mosque may have killed black people. Their target happened to have been Muslims. The idea that most mosques are run by Saudi Arabia cannot be substantiated. I happen to know that one of the main mosques in the Dallas area was long run by a Turk who is Sufi-minded and quite liberal in many ways. Yes, many mosques were connected to Wahhabis, I will say that, but it is so easy to generalize.

As far as Muslims protesting against violence, many Muslims have done that and written letters. However, must people be reminded that during the Vietnam war 55,000 American soldiers died, which was a fraction of the amount of Vietnamese people who were killed. Americans did protest that, but that was in the 1970s, and Americans were being killed, so it meant something. When did Americans protest Indonesia using American weapons to ethnic cleanse Catholic East Timorese? I never heard of it in a major way. How many Americans protested when Lebanon's civilian infrastructure in the 1980s and in 2006 were bombed heavily. Israel killed easily over 10,000 civilians in the invasion.
Some even say 20,000. That is much more than Sept.11th, the Madrid bombings, and London bombings combined. As far as I am concerned, people are people whether they are Jewish, Christian, Muslim, American, British, and French. You just seem to think the American dead are worthy of mention and Muslims deserve violence. It doesn't seem tolerant to me...

Why are they not called "youths" as Muslims are when they torch something?
