Like I said... how far away from ground zero do they have to go? Apparently Tennessee is not far enough.

Ground Zero is a term the Media used for the NYC site, but this did not seem related to the mosque story there?
Always sad when people vandalize things. What their opinions are about this project however is a different kettle of fish.

Yes, definitely unsettling. I find it unsettling in two different ways, if it was arson those people need to be caught and brought to justice. The other bad option would be for it to have been self inflicted, to gain leverage as victims.

What possible reason would you even think that it was self inflicted? That doesn't even make any sense.

I said that could be another option and I explained why. It makes perfect sense as another option just as unsettling as it being set by an arsonist.

Just wanted to beat you to the punch before you cast suspicion on all Muslims over 9/11

The difference is that there is actual evidence to suggest arson as opposed to complete random speculation.

So I guess what you are saying is it is impossible for someone who is a member there to do arson to their own place try to gain sympathy for the NYC project? I agree it is unlikely but Maurice is thinking outside the box. But it is also possible someone who is a member or member of a competing Mosque did the deed or because someone is mad at the owners/planners for something totally unrelated.

It is possible but to suggest such a thing based on absolutely nothing but random speculation is in my opinion inappropriate. I would also ask myself if I were to start thinking that way "Am I always this suspicious or only when it comes to Muslims?" If my house burned down, there was evidence of arson and somebody said "It sure would be bad if it were self inflicted to try to gain sympathy" I think I would find it deeply offensive.

The ATF is still investigating the incident, there has been reports of accelerant found on the equipment that caught fire but that is in question as they've since backed off that claim. It could very well simply be an accident, a leak somehow that caused a fire. It could be arson, a fire intentionally set for whatever reason. It could also be an incident that was setup, for whatever reason to generate sympathy.
You think it's outside the realm of possibility that it could be an incident created to generate sympathy? I'm confident it's one scenario the authorities are looking into, you need to rule out all possibilities when investigating something like that right?
As I said before, if it's arson those responsible need to be found, caught and brought to justice. I'm also open to the possibility that it was self inflicted, as I'm open to the possibility that it was a freak accident.

It's not thinking outside the box, just standard common sense deduction of all possibilities as to what could be the cause. I'm sure the BATFE is looking into the same possibility along with all the others, to do otherwise would be poor police work. Then again, this is the ATF we're talking about here, so maybe I should amend that statement. lol

Some would use the term false flag.
Here are just a few more examples.
