Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, what is it?
Way down south in Dixie, some one needs to shove some tall cotton up some rednecks backside...seems that all the good christo-fascist folks are not in Montgomery worshiping the Judge Roy Moore Graven Image™ which has seemingly been carted away in the same ignominy as the ashes of executed Nazi war criminals...no their brethren are out there shooting at and burning Mosques. Brave folk that they are, they even leave anonymous notes...
The pungent smell of charred wood permeated the small white tent where a group of Muslims gathered for evening prayers this week.
As members prayed, they faced the burned-out remains of a two-bedroom gray brick house that had served for almost a year as a temporary Islamic Center for about 100 coastal families. The house was torched before dawn Sunday, investigators say.
...
Al-Farooq Masjid, one of the largest Islamic centers in metro Atlanta, posted a notice of the arson on its Web site and has begun a campaign to raise money to help restore the Savannah center. Christian and Jewish groups in Savannah also have offered to help build a new mosque.
... "With the [U.S. military] casualties in Iraq mounting, [Islamic groups in the United States] fear that Muslims all over the U.S. will face similar challenges," a note on the Web site says. (emphasis added)
...
Among treasures destroyed in the fire were a rare 200-year-old, handwritten copy of the Quran that was donated to the center along with other old and valuable copies of the Islamic holy book.
Ahmed said the fire followed two disturbing incidents. At a monthly board meeting Aug. 3, Ahmed said, board members found five bullet holes in the garage door.
"We first noticed the bullet holes in the walls at the back of the garage and discovered the bullets had been fired through the garage door," he said. "This is where the women and children always held their services."
On Aug. 18, someone broke into the apartment of Mohammed Hafez, a graduate student at Georgia Tech's Savannah campus, while he was at pre-dawn prayers at the center. Hafez, 26, moved to Savannah in January from Egypt to pursue a doctoral degree in engineering. His laptop computer, his cellphone and a small amount of money were taken; the intruders left behind a swastika-emblazoned threatening note, he said. "It said, 'We want you Muslims' life. Get out of Savannah. We are watching you 24-7,' " Hafez said. Police and the FBI were notified of both incidents.
So I guess that we need to blame the casualties of the Iraqi Conflict on American Moslems? Interesting, I was under the impression that the 1600 Crew ordered up that little folly, not the Council of Imams or whatever...interesting thought process though, shows an IQ about 50 points lower than Darrell Issa's (100). Gosh, there may be a job at the DoD for these morons, they sound like Auntie Donnie and the Chimp's kinda guys.
Don't look for speedy work from the Asscrack crew, they're still looking for porno-distributing bong sellers. Tough work, but somebody on the federal payroll has to do it for Johnny; otherwise real criminals might get caught. Besides, they are still trying to determine if this might be a "hate crime".
Quack. Hark! I hear a gekko.....

What would happen if some mustafa offered a LARGE reward for information leading to the capture of these criminals (a la uday, qusay and saddam)? Having them found and skinned would probably turn some heads.
I live in Savannah. I would like to say that the mindset behind this incident is not indicative of how most of the residents of my beautiful city feel. I would like to say that, but I can't.
