Muslim Woman Sets Fire in Mosque in Iowa

Due to the conspicuous phoniness of the supposed epidemic of hate crimes, when someone sets a fire in a mosque in this country, police can narrow down their list of suspects by ruling out non-Muslims:

A 22-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of starting a small fire at a Des Moines mosque Thursday morning, police said. …

Security cameras in the mosque showed a woman, later identified as Aisha Ismail, 22, pouring lighter fluid on the carpet and then starting the fire, said Des Moines police spokesman Sgt. Paul Parizek. …

Ismail attended the mosque, [Parizek] said, adding that her motive for the fire was unclear.

“It doesn’t appear that she was trying to burn the place down,” Parizek said. “It seems like she was trying to make a statement.”

Therein lies the key to her motive. What message would have been received had she gotten away with it?

No doubt the media would have hyped the fire to the skies as evidence that put-upon Muslims really are oppressed by the hate-filled and violent Islamophobes who populate Flyover Country.

Something else to consider, via Truth Revolt:

The same mosque was the target back in March of an anonymous, threatening handwritten letter which referred to Muslims as “vile,” “filthy,” and “Children of Satan.” The letter, suspiciously signed “Americans for a Better Way,” was denounced by the Iowa chapter of CAIR as a hate crime and was promoted by the media as evidence of President Trump-inspired “Islamophobia.” Nothing further came of it, and there is no evidence that “Americans for a Better Way” exists.

At this point, we can’t know for sure that the firebug’s intention was to stage a hate hoax. But even if it were not, she would have been an unwitting hate hoaxer if not for the security cameras, due to the assumptions the media would surely have leaped to make. Therefore, please welcome Aisha Ismail to the Hate Hoax List.
