Arson Reported at Islamic Center in Corvallis, OR where Christmas Tree Lighting Bomb Plot Suspect Attended

Arson at Islamic Center sometimes attended by Christmas tree lighting bomber.

It is reported at the The Oregonian that an Islamic Center where the Christmas tree lighting terorist bomber, Mohamed Osman Mohamud, was intentionally set on fire. Is it a coincidence, that arson would occur at this Islamic Center one day after 19 year old Mohamed Osman Mohamudattempted to blow up innocent men, women and children at a Christmas tree lighting? Instead of wishing others Merry Christ, Happy Holidays and Yule time tidings … Mohamud wishes death to Infidels. Hmm, so arson occurs one day later in an office area? Atlas Shruggs says, “color me skeptical.”  Or as Weasel Zippers says, “strange coincidence? Or something else?”

The AP reported that an office was set on fire this morning, none of the religious worshipping areas were damaged.

Arson caused a fire on Sunday at an Islamic center that was the occasional place of worship for a Somali-born teen who two days ago was arrested on charges of plotting a terror attack in Portland, authorities said.

The fire at the Salman Al-Farisi Islamic Center was set early Sunday morning, said Carla Pusateri, a fire prevention officer for the Corvallis Fire Department.

She said “quite a bit of evidence” was left at the scene, which led her to believe the fire was intentionally set. No injuries have been reported.

The Islamic center was frequented by Mohamed Osman Mohamud, a 19-year-old held on charges of plotting to carry out a terror attack at a Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Portland on Friday.

Yosof Wanly, imam at the Salman Alfarisi Islamic Center, said Mohamud was a normal student who went to athletic events, drank the occasional beer and was into rap music and culture.

Wanly said Mohamud was religious but didn’t come to the mosque consistently.

The fire on Sunday was contained to one room, burning 80 percent of the center’s office, Wanly said. The worship areas were untouched.

I guess it is safe to say that a Christmas tree did not catch on fire in the mosque, eh?

Oh wait, here is a great MSM justification for a Muslim radical wanting to blow up children at a Christmas tree lighting … parents split. So this one wasn’t after the virgins, blame this terrorist act on divorce.

Neighbors say Mohamud was doted on by his family but embraced militant Islam not long after his parents split up.

“He was a quiet kid, but with his folks splitting up, who knows?” Adam Napier, who lived next door to Mohamed Osman Mohamud for years told the newspaper.
