Fire at proposed Tenn. mosque site probed by feds

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Supporters from across the country have called to give encouragement to a suburban Nashville mosque where a fire was the latest setback for a planned new building, officials said Sunday.
Authorities told mosque officials that four pieces of heavy construction equipment on the site were doused with an accelerant and one set ablaze, said Camie Ayash, spokeswoman for the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro. Federal investigators have not ruled it arson, saying only that the fire was being probed and asked the public to call in tips. Earlier, Ayash said that gasoline was poured on the equipment but later backed off that statement.
"No threats, not at all," since the fire, Ayash told The Associated Press. "We've had a tremendous amount of calls of support."
American Muslim leaders say the furor over the building of a mosque near ground zero has emboldened opposition groups to resist new mosques elsewhere.
Some say they oppose them because of infrastructure and traffic problems. Others have implied that the mosque would be a haven for terrorists.
The Islamic Center of Murfreesboro's planned expansion has drawn increasingly vehement opposition from the community in recent weeks. The proposed center on 15 acres would serve some 250 families.
Digging had begun at the site where a sign that marks it as the future Islamic Center of Murfreesboro has been vandalized twice in the past several months. But Ayash said the fire "makes everybody really on edge."
Ayash said Islamic Center officials were contacted by the sheriff's department around 4 a.m. Saturday. Someone walking by called in the fire to 911 about 1:30 a.m.
Rutherford County resident Kevin Fisher has led protests against the mosque he says because of zoning issues, parking, traffic and a lack of transparency in the county's planning approval process. He issued a statement Saturday to the Daily News Journal of Murfreesboro.
"We in this community believe strongly in the rule of law, and choose to settle our disagreements through peaceful deliberations and discussion, not vigilantism. ... We who stand in opposition to this mosque have made our concerns known through proper legal channels and have conducted ourselves with dignity, respect and out of a spirit of love for our community, and we will continue to do so."

the article says they were doused, but the feds have not called it arson. if the equipment was doused and set ablaze, how is that not arson???
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
the feds arent calling it arson cause theyre hedging their bets... either that or they dont have the balls to call it.

Did you read the article? What you've written is basically what the article says.
Then why do they wanna live seperate from Americans? Why do they wanna have their own private spread for only Muslims?
Sweep the Leg Johnny.
Why do you think they want to 'live seperately'? Having a place to worship is living seperately? Did you know, you can walk into a Mosque... even if you are not Muslim? Of course, you have to pay the respects of that religion, such as removal of your shoes, (just as you should pay equal respects to houses of other religions)... but, no one will restrict your entrance.
Hail, Hail!!!

How is it any of your business anyway?
Perhaps spatial reality functions differently on the other side of the Atlantic, but here in London, something that is "two minutes' walk and round a corner" from something else isn't actually "in" the same place at all. I once had a poo in a pub about two minutes' walk from Buckingham Palace. I was not subsequently arrested and charged with crapping directly onto the Queen's pillow. That's how "distance" works in Britain. It's also how distance works in America, of course, but some people are currently pretending it doesn't, for daft political ends.
New York being a densely populated city, there are lots of other buildings and businesses within two blocks of Ground Zero, including a McDonald's and a Burger King, neither of which has yet been accused of serving milkshakes and fries on hallowed ground. Regardless, for the opponents of Cordoba House, two blocks is too close, period. Frustratingly, they haven't produced a map pinpointing precisely how close is OK.
its really funny how the rest of the world see's it this way too...
I understand... yeah, it's the 'Daily Show'... but, they do bring some facts into light...
15 Acres of the 30 year old Islamic Center that will service 250 families in the area.
Now... let me ask you... do you live on the site of your Christian Community Center with all of the Christian families in the area?
I'm guessing, No. People don't 'live' in a community center... they play basketball, baseball there... play on the swings and have family outings on the grass... hold services and make paper dolls. You have to be one step below moron to believe that all 250 families will be living on the 15 acre community center grounds.
Here is the Daily Show report... funny because it's sad... sad because it's true.

Hail, Hail!!!
No kidding. As long as they don't take up arms or start marrying off 14 year olds to the religious leaders and other men, I don't see a problem.
Wait - I just re-read this. How can they be separated from Americans when they ARE Americans???
I think... he is implying that all 250 families are going to live on the 15 acre plot... like some sort of Al Qaeda Terrorist co-op. It would be the same as us believing that 250 Christian families would want to all live in a Young Man's Christian Association facility in order to blow up abortion clinics and make 'God Hates Fags' signs to display at funerals of dead soldiers.
Of course, both beliefs are completelty unfounded and only the dim witted amongst us would ever believe such nonsense, right?
Hail, Hail!!!
