Feds: TN Mosque Fire Act of Arson

After confirming an accelerant—diesel fuel, to be specific—was used to start a fire at a proposed mosque site in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, federal investigators said a suspect will be required to determine if the arson case was, in fact, a hate crime. Which is why they’ve announced a $20,000 award to anyone who can provide information that leads to the arrest and prosecution of those involved. The Islamic Center of Murfreesboro has outgrown their current facilities and had been trying to build a new mosque. Their new project has caused significant heated debate, and they’ve received death threats.
