A massive fire has broken out at an Islamic
center in southeast Houston, Texas ahead of
Friday morning prayers, damaging and destroying
most of the building.
According to officials, an accelerant was used in the
fire that started around 5 a.m. However, the cause of
the fire is still unknown.
The Quba Islamic Institute, which provides services
for about 100 families, was closed when the fire
started and that no one was injured.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has
called for an investigation into whether the fire was
the result of a possible hate crime as fire officials say
the use of accelerant usually points to a purposeful
act.
Ahsan Zahid, assistant Imam at the CAIR, said, "They
(fire fighters) said their dog went through and he hit
on some substances inside the place, and he said,
'From what I see right now at this point, I have to say
it was an incendiary fire which means that it was
started on purpose.' That's all we can go on at this
point. I don't want to speculate."
The fire burnt a back building which was used for
storing books, renovation supplies, and furniture.
"The damage on the back building is total," said
Houston Fire Department district chief Ken Tyner.
"The whole entire building back there is burned up."
Zahid also said that a vandalized, smashed table was
found by fire fighters, noting that the night before the
incident occurred someone had driven by shouting
mocking chants.
In addition, Hala Saadeh, who uses the community
center, says the very first thing that comes to mind is
a “hate crime.”
The incident happened at the time that three young
Muslim students, one male and two female, were
shot dead in Chapel Hill, North Carolina on Tuesday.
Mohammad Abu-Salha, the father of the two female
students, told the crowd during their funereal on
Thursday that they were victims of a hate crime.
