Houston mosque fire set by mosque attendee
Another “dog bites man” story:
A Houston man has been arrested in connection with a suspected arson at a mosque on Christmas Day.
A spokeswoman for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives confirmed that the man was arrested early Wednesday, sometime after midnight, and appeared in court 7 a.m. Wednesday.
The suspect, Gary Nathaniel Moore, 37, of Houston, appeared in court at 7 a.m., spokeswoman Nicole Strong said.
According to a charging instrument released by the Harris County District Clerk, Moore told investigators at the scene that he has attended the mosque for five years, coming five times per day to pray seven days per week.
It’s certainly not outside the realm of possibility that some non-Muslim who is angry at Muslims could be setting a mosque on fire. But these sorts of things—including accusation of hate crimes against blacks or gays or other minorities on campus—have so often been set-ups by members of the allegedly-persecuted group that it has now become an unavoidable possibility to suspect that it’s another crime of that ilk.
These fake hate crimes are so common that the first thing I think when I read about one is that it’s another fraud.

“… it has now become an unavoidable possibility to suspect that it’s another crime of that ilk.” Our media will NOT go there. Until later.
Also something that won’t be making the news: Debian Linux creator Ian Murdock committed suicide yesterday after a Twitter meltdown in which he dropped the N-bomb led to all his progressive Silicon Valley friends disowning him.

There are far too many false hate crimes reported. We are seeing the same thing with college rape reporting. In any of these cases, the false reports add to the destruction of the public credibility of the group supposedly being protected. I dislike the hate crime category, but even worse, all to often the accuser making the false report receives little in the way of consequences, so false reports continue unchecked.
When an Accredited Victim Group is seen to be victimized, it’s a deposit in the moral authority account.
When a member of said AVG victimizes a member of a non-oppressed group–white men, for example–it’s a withdrawal.
That’s why we heard so much about Matthew Shepard and so little about Jesse Dirkhising. Ditto Crystal Magnum and, about Katie Rouse, nada.
And, since it’s such a good thing to have, making deposits with bogus checks–metaphor alert–suggests itself.
Was in a household earlier this week when a young man noted the burning and suggested it was some angry white guy. It wasn’t the kind of place to suggest the alternative. I’d asked for Fox on the television, to be told this television doesn’t get Fox. IOW, they need to put that on a sign on the window and they’ll be even more publicly the Right Sort of Person. Wonder what my young friend is thinking now. Probably nothing that would change his view of things.

There have been too many fake hate crimes in recent years. When caught, the common response of the faker is “I wanted to raise awareness.”

What all of these hoaxes have in common is that someone who really is upset by Islamization of America — is going to head for the keyboard — not the gas can.
Face Book in particular provides an irresistible venting.
So much so that Big Z is determined to stop said venting.
Which fits his personality to a Tee.
