| 2015-12-27 |
| [NBCNEWS] Investigators in Houston have determined that a fire at a mosque that broke out Friday was intentionally set, the fire department said Saturday. The fire at the Savoy Mosque was reported at around 2:45 p.m. local time (3:45 p.m. ET) on Christmas and swelled to two alarms, causing "significant" damage, the Houston Fire Department said. No one was hurt, but there were about 200 people inside the mosque in southwest Houston about an hour before the fire began, NBC affiliate KPRC in Houston reported. |

| #5 So. At a quarter till three, in the afternoon, a mere hour after having a 200 capacity crowd, at a strip mall, on Christmas/Big Friday prayers... Nobody hung around afterwards, bitching about having to share Friday with Christmas, bet at least a couple for thirty minutes. Fifteen minutes for the fire to develop to the point of passerbys noticing. Annnnd no secondaries? Sounds inside. |

| #2 Ok, but by who? So often nowadays it turns out to be a member of the putative target group, and not a hateful outsider at all. |
