#1 It was right after prayers at a time when there are usually religious lessons for men in it.

A teachable moment indeed.

#2 If it was a mosque, why there wasn't any secondary explosions?

#3 the precise location of the strike was unclear

Debris in the air from the first strike occluded the targeting camera video for the second?

This is pretty much the gold standard for mosque / not mosque.

#7 If you are targeting religious nut cases isn't it reasonable to consider religious sites they congregate at targets?

We're at war with ISLAM. Some day we will say it openly. When that day comes, if our "leadership" really wants to win the gloves will come off and we'll target mosques.
