As I have noted before hate crimes are on the rise in many parts of the western world, including the USA.
A "suspicious" two-alarm fire broke out at a Houston mosque yesterday (Friday) about an hour after services ended, officials said. There were no injuries.
The Christmas Day blaze at the mosque in the city's southwest started around 2:45 p.m. CT, reported NBC affiliate KPRC. Officials with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives told the station the fire was deemed suspicious because it had multiple points of origin. s are on the rise in the USA and many parts of the western world.
The fire caused "significant" damage, the Houston Fire Department said in a statement Saturday. The ATF, the Houston Police Department and the Houston Fire Department's Arson Bureau were collecting evidence and interviewing people as part of an investigation into the incident.
