So apparently the mosque that was attended by Orlando shooter Omar Mateen, was recently set on fire. Now, let me make this clear. I don't support vigilante justice. I believe taking the law into your hands is almost always a bad idea. But at the same time (and don't hate me for this) I can't help but feel that this is karma coming back to bite Islam.
You see, where do you think Mateen learned to hate the West? I'm going to go out on a limb and say it was probably at his mosque. So I honestly think this is only fair, especially since no one was actually hurt as far as I know.
It gets even worse though. On the news they were talking about how the police were going through the arsonist's Twitter feed and saw a bunch of anti- Islamic tweets, and are now planning to punish him for "hate (read: thought) crimes". And you just know that Muslim pressure groups are gonna milk this "Islamophobia" for all it's worth. What kind of world are we living in where a man can be punished for having a controversial opinion? What is this, 1984?
But all in all, I do hope that this guy is arrested. Not because he's anti- Islam, because any intelligent person is, but because he's committed a crime. And that is reason enough.
P.S.: Sorry that this wasn't a humorous post, but I needed to get this off my chest. After all, having to hold opinions in like this can stress you out, and I'm on vacation right now.
