On
March 5th, the Islamic Center in Minneapolis,
Minnesota was gutted by fire, in what is believed
To be an arson attack. Fortunately, nobody was
Hurt. However, this is not an isolated incident.
Mosques have been under attack before.
Some examples:
Yuba City, California -- a
Nearly-completed mosque burned to the
Ground in an arson attack (1994)
The fire, with a
flammable liquid, gutted the 12,000 square foot
Building just before
midnight, September 1, 1994... It took less than an hour for
The blazing fire to
demolish what took years for this community to build.
Many of the local Muslim
community rushed to the blazing scene that night. Flames
emerged from all sides
out of the arches and when the structure could no longer support
them, the minaret and
steel dome crashed to the ground.
