LAS VEGAS: Nobody seems to know what burned down, but it was a Muslim something

Every report on this story calls the fire something different: Mosque. Mortuary. Cemetery. Some call it a Mosque at a Cemetery site. Whatever!

Greenfield Reporter  Authorities in Las Vegas on Wednesday were investigating whether a two-alarm blaze that reduced a nearly completed, two-story mosque to ashes was arson or an accident.

No suspects were seen in the area and no injuries were reported after firefighters spent four hours dousing the intense flames, Clark County Fire Chief Bertral Washington said, as federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents searched for evidence at the dusty, sprawling industrial site northeast of downtown.

An FBI agent also questioned contractors on the job, who later declined to be interviewed by The Associated Press. ”They’re investigating whether it was arson, a hate crime or something like that,” said Aslam Abdullah, director of the Islamic Society of Nevada. 

Abdullah said construction of the building began more than a year ago, and it was slated to open this year as a funeral gathering center for services at the first dedicated Islamic cemetery in the Las Vegas area.

Khalid Khan, society president since 1986, said he was saddened by the fire but called it too early to make any judgment about a cause. He said investigators told him that they thought vandals might be to blame.

“They believe it was not an accident,” Khan said.

Washington said there was no electricity or natural gas service to the building, which workers said was about 80 percent complete. The chief estimated the loss at about $1.5 million.

    “whether a two-alarm blaze that reduced a nearly completed, two-story mosque to ashes was arson or an accident.”
    Call it an Act of God. :o )

    A thing that I read elsewhere said:
    “I was down at the local mosque, having fun going through a few magazines – but then my rifle jammed.”

  3. reason1984 says:

    ”They’re investigating whether it was arson, a hate crime or something like that,” said Aslam Abdullah,…

    Or something like “Insurance Fraud.”

    Doggone !! Wished I’d known we could have roasted a pig.

  5. ICE says:

    I’am betting an insurance scam!!!!

  6. Guy Macher says:

    Insurance fire. Look into it.

  7. Chris.Curran."Bonnie"Scotland. says:

    The Good Lord works in Mysterious Ways.!!

  8. Susan K says:

    I wonder if it was insured?

    As the burning of korans gives moslems the red ass’ perhaps a concerted campaign to burn korans in public will get their attention. (And just think how grateful oBummer will be to apologize some more if we contact the Afghan news to report our activities) Cable TV offers opportunities, burning korans in the street offers some, and it is easy to contact CAIR to get them to attend and video their heads exploding. I think infidels need to set their ass on fire with this’ as well as mohammed dog stickers everywhere they are likely to go. The Lars Vilk cartoons should be a featured sticker on every wall, post, pisser (as a target, of course), & crapper as well.
    Curse not the darkness…just light one candle to burn korans!

    • russel says:

      CW,
      I think that is a fantastic idea. I would add making a video using a koran as a target. Will a .223 pass through? How about a .308? How about a comparison using a bible and a koran as targets? This could be an experiment showing who really is the “true” god.

    Nancy Sinatra had a line in a song that fits this very well,,,
    “Hmmm,,, Sorry about that~!”

  11. CW Orange says:

    I wonder if a tennis shoe with a rubber stamp underneath that printed “aLLAH” at every step would piss off CAIR. To be sure, one would have to carry a stamp pad with india ink to refresh the stamp…easy to do with permanent black ink. Or a stamp of Lars Vilks famous rondabout dog…..Imagine these images simply everywhere….

    *****

    I say we call it what it is, a good start.

    ha ha ha you’ve got to be kidding me. really shows that they can’t read. how abouta pair that leaves the imprint MO MO MO MO everywhere?

  14. revereridesagain says:

    O deary deary me. Sounds like one of them “strong dislike” crimes. Thing is, you gotta wonder if that $1.5 million is the insurance estimate…

  15. rpm2day says:

    Is not insurance considered gambling to the muslim half wit set, and therefore forbidden? Oh that’s right, only when convenient.

  16. BLR says:

    what are muzzies doing there in vegas the town was made for gamblers ladies of the nite , adult entertainers, boozers it was knowen as sin city ! Perverts to western sub culture.

  17. revereridesagain says:

    Well, this just keeps getting scarier and scarier. A high-ranking U.S. Naval officer with a Muslim name says, among other things, that we must grovel in apology to ragheads the world over whenever anyone in the U.S. military burns a Krapon.

    I was surprised when i heard muslims and illegals were swarming into Vegas but it was part of the government – Fanny/Freddie/ACORN home fraud.
    They financed 5 million home downpayments for refugees/illegals that are in foreclosure.They even let welfare slugs use TANF and SNAP cards at casinos.

    Nevada
    > 2011 foreclosure rate: 5.3%
    > December, 2011 unemployment: 12.6% (the highest)
    > Home price change (2006 Q3-2011 Q3): -59.3% (the largest decline)
    > Processing period: 116 days

    Nevada’s already dismal economy and housing situation are getting worse. Between 2006 and 2011, the median home value in the state tumbled 60%.Fiserv-Case Shiller projects home prices will fall an additional 13.9%. Nevada has the worst unemployment rate in the country, at 12.6%, and 13.4% of mortgage owners were delinquent on payments for 90 days or more last year.

    • Rip says:

      Right. But we also have to consider that Nevada is ob’s buddy harry reid’s state. sorry about the spelling of names, but not about the disrespect I show for those names, by using all lower case letters.

      • Ret. Marine says:

        NEVER apologize, it’s a sign of weakness, just correctly state your gut feelings and be done with it, we here understand all too well. Semper Fi.

    YeeHa!

  20. nomosque says:

    Don’t these muzzies know it was Ash Wednesday this week???

  21. lady malfoy says:

    Wait a second.. it was 80% complete and had no services? (gas electricity) and still is worth more than a million? Dont believe that, maybe it was torched to get insurance money!!! They hate america but learn the american laws quickly!!
    Besides, what if they were doing a bomb and thankfully it went wrong?
    Something is not right here…

  22. D.G says:

    Whatever THEY call it, it IS just another ASSLIFTER ASSEMBLY Center! So, get the hint ASSLIFTERS, and GTFO!!!

  23. MR_RESPIRATORY says:

    BURN BABY BURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  24. eric of usa says:

    Hmmm 1.5 million dollar building and likely supports 50 some-odd muslims which have pledged 30k each to build it? Same shit going on where I live. Built a giant multi-million dollar mouse-que to support what seems to be less than 100 people. There never seems to be more than 20 cars in the lot ant any one time. So where’s the money coming from, the Saudis? Someone needs to audit this shit for sure…

  25. Jim22 says:

    ATF agent? What did this fire, even if it was arson, have to do with alcohol, tobacco, firearms, or explosives?

  26. Doris says:

    Their fault, they were not following bldg code, 80% completed and no wiring or plumbing? Who approves their work to see if its up to standards?

  27. Some call it a Mosque at a Cemetery site. He said investigators told him that they thought vandals might be to blame. I would add making a video using a koran as a target. Nike had to change the footbed on one of their running shoes because the muslims were outraged that it looked like Allah in Arabic.They even let welfare slugs use TANF and SNAP cards at casinos.Thanks! This one looks really cool, I really can’t wait for something like this to come out.

  28. Brenda says:

    I live just outside of Vegas….it is nice here no mosques. Sad to see they were building another building…not sorry it burned down. I hope they keep it to only the one mosque that they have there in Vegas.
    I certainly would not want to live any where near one!
