An arson fire at a Houston Mosque was extensively alleged to have been set by Christians on Christmas Day. It was in fact found to have been set by devout attendee.
No motive has been release.
A Houston man has been arrested in connection with a suspected arson at a mosque on Christmas Day.
A spokeswoman for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives confirmed that the man was arrested early Wednesday, sometime after midnight, and appeared in court 7 a.m. Wednesday.
The suspect, Gary Nathaniel Moore, 37, of Houston, appeared in court at 7 a.m., spokeswoman Nicole Strong said.
Though the suspect said he was a regular at the mosque, MJ Khan, president of the Islamic Society of Greater Houston, which operates the mosque, said he was unfamiliar with Moore. “We are just looking into it ourselves,” he said Wednesday morning after learning of the arrest.
“We are really very surprised and saddened by this whole thing,” said Khan.
Using surveillance video from multiple businesses nearby, investigators were able to identify Moore, according to records. A search warrant of his home was conducted, in which investigators recovered a backpack and clothing that seemingly matched that which was seen in surveillance footage, as well as one half of a two-pack of charcoal lighter fluid bottles that seemed to match another lighter fluid bottle found inside the mosque.

This is definitely and object lesson for both the left and the right. When we rush to assign blame or score political points we frequently end up playing the fool. The false narrative frequently gets ahead of the facts, making those who engage in such ways often times end up with egg on their face.
Not that this will change anything because it is so much easier and more fun to attack the opposition based on nothing more than your own prejudices and ideologies.
