FBI Knows No Shame in Oregon

"Man arrested in Ore. mosque bombing" August 26, 2011|Associated Press

EUGENE, Ore. - Federal officials arrested a 24-year-old man this week in the firebombing of an Oregon mosque last year and said he was motivated by racial hatred after a Muslim man was accused of plotting to set off a car bomb in Portland.

Cody Crawford, who has been under investigation since the Corvallis mosque was torched Nov. 28, was indicted on charges of damaging religious property for racial reasons, which is a hate crime, and of using fire to commit a felony.

“This was an attack on religious freedom and an attack on the American way of life,’’ said Dwight Holton, US attorney for Oregon.

The mosque firebombing occurred just two days after FBI agents arrested a Somali-American, Mohamed Osman Mohamud, in a sting operation at Portland’s annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony. Mohamud was charged with plotting to kill people at the ceremony by igniting a car bomb.... 

Oh, that's nice. All the propaganda bs to keep the empire a-rollin' is creating hatred among the weak-minded and blind.

And now they have done another one at the opposite end of the spectrum  - the alleged right-wing, racist hate groups (another band of patsies) that are once again under the creation and direction of domestic intelligence agencies.

The only thing we hate here, readers, are mass-murdering war criminals and lying looters -- and they come in all forms whatever their race, religion, and gender. Class seems to be the bond there, with a specific hierarchy delineated within the institutional power structure.
