Police probing explosion outside Cincinnati mosque
An explosion went off near a mosque and a house occupied by an Islamic association, authorities said in Cincinnati, Ohio.

No injuries were reported.

Police closed nearby streets and investigators combed the area late Tuesday with bomb-sniffing dogs.

"This is very disturbing," said Karen Daboub, director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Cincinnati. "And not only for this mosque and our community, but for the Islamic community in and around Greater Cincinnati."

4. I'm so slow. I just caught on.
We're supposed to think they were building a bomb and it went off accidentally.

10. Interesting.
It would be interesting to see if that is how it is built up in our media. It is scary to think that what you said could be a possibility (not that they were building a bomb, but it would be broadcast as such, as opposed to them being victims of a hate crime).

Hey..(not aquart..unless you think this too)...still think hate crimes are just "thought crimes?!"

12. I'd give even money on either attack or bomb-factory accident
There are crazies on both sides.

Which Islamic Society owns the home?

If it's Islamic Society of North America, I'd bet they were making the bomb.

13. Even money?
So, there are an equal number of militant american muslim crazies as there are home grown haters in america?

If your logic were correct then one would assume that there would have been an equal number of muslim attacks as there have been attacks on mosques and Muslims.

Maybe you could enlighten us to these incidents. Perhaps I've been missing the bombings and arson of federal buildings by Muslims every week. Perhaps Muslims have approached you, or people you know, and spat upon you and insulted you for the way you look...

Hasn't happened.

And now, according to you, ISNA is building bombs?

Whatever....

14. As my sister put it after 9/11, where are the car bombs?
If terrorist cells are lurking all over America, where are the carbombs? They could have throw city after city into a panic, just by having a few well-spaced, easy to do explosions. Well? Seen any?

15. How do you know someone wasn't planting it -- framing this organization?
Knowing what we know now, that would be far better than even money.

6. Haaretz is carrying this?
Edited on Wed Dec-21-05 04:39 AM by PsychoDad
When there's so little other mention of it in the american media. :shrug: Wow.

For something that happened last night there seems to still be very little info. IIRC there have been other problems with mosques in Ohio, vandalism and such.

Glad that no one seems to have been hurt.

Peace.

On edit: I just noticed the story is starting to pick up.

8. Well, let's see..
Nonstop jingoistic , pseudo religious propaganda for 3 years. Right wingers have been equating "non lily-white" as swarthy terrorist, so we should be surprised when some yahoos get liquored up and decide to scare the "terra-sist" like their HEEERO Boooosh would want them to do..

no surprise here..

There is a significant number among us who would gladly "repatriate" every dark skinned, person in the US..They used to be rather quiet about it, but they are getting bolder and nastier by the minute.
