Apparently yesterday the local mosque in my town was set alight. Fortunately it was discovered in time for the fire to be extinguished and the building's still intact.
Inevitably, there's been plenty of speculation as to why this happened, but there seems to be a possibilty that it may have been more arson/vandalism than racially motivated. I totally and completely deplore this crime and can't help hoping that it was "just" mindless vandalism. I happen to know some of the town's moslems - Islam is the religion of my ex-wife's former employer - and I really hope that they aren't being targetted by any bigotted nutters.
