nucklehead Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/mosque-in-peterborough-ont-deliberately-set-on-fire/article27265878/Congregants at Peterborough’s Masjid Al Salaam – literally, “the peace mosque” – are looking for a temporary new home after someone set fire to their building Saturday night.The suspicion in the Central Ontario town is that one or more vandals lashed out at local Muslims following Friday’s deadly attacks in Paris, which were perpetrated by terrorists acting in the name of the Islamic State militants in the Middle East.“It looks like a hate crime,” said Zahid Sultan, vice-president of the local Muslim association. Peterborough police have “told us they are taking this as a hate crime and they have taken evidence into their custody,” he said.Speaking by phone as he surveyed the damage, Mr. Sultan said somebody threw a flammable bottle of liquid through a main floor window. He estimated that the attack caused up to $100,000 in smoke damage to the mosque, which is a converted house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73 Percent Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 This is embarrassing. Right now im ashamed to say i live in Ontario.

Odd. Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Those who set ablaze the mosque are equally boneheaded and idiotic as the attackers. People who think that this action someway justifies the November 13th attacks are wrong and hateful. Idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLASSJAW Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Ontario has rednecks who would have thought that.here in BC we write our hate crimes on churches with paint, not flames -- to let the grandparents of hockey players we don't like know they aren't welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 This is what the terrorists want. Create divisions, and have more Muslims support their cause. To be mad is understandable. To be stupid and just breed more hate doesn't help anything. Hopefully the law will nab these jerks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost_Viking Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Very shameful. Sadly we all knew this was coming, and will likely have to go through a whole lot more of this world wide before the end. Playing right into the terrorists' hands.Seriousness aside, Mr. Sultan, what an awesome name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Monahan Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 What does the National Athletic Trainers' Association have to do with this.Not to undermine the serious nature of this thread of but I just wanted to point this out. Captain Canuck, I see you joined April 23 2009, ~6.5 years ago. In that time you've neglected to make a single post until now, when you lost your post virginity by getting sassy with desi. You're well on your way sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuckin_futz Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 This is most concerning, not that social media sites are the determining factor but the crap I have seen people post is quite disappointing to say the least.Someone I know posted a map of Canada on Facebook that had "F*** Off, We're Full" written across it. How the heck can Canada be full? I am pretty certain that of major countries only Australia has a lower population density. As always it's the ignorant who speak the loudest.
