[ONLINE] PERSONAL REFLECTIONS ON THE ARSON AT MY HOMETOWN MOSQUE

October 10, 2012

Randolph Linn, 52, has been charged with federal criminal hate crimes for an arson at the Islamic Center of Greater Toledo in Northwest Ohio. He is in police custody and faces chargesfor intentionally defacing, damaging and destroying religious property because of the religious character of that property and using fire and explosives to commit a felony. I spent nearly every Sunday of my life in this mosque, not to mention the countless Friday prayers, iftar dinners, and special events held there, so this attack feels incredibly acute. I wrote my personal reflections to the arson for The Huffington Post here.
