Would you guys consider a church bombing a terrorist attack? I would.

Regardless of religion, of course. Church, Mosque, Synagogue, etc.

Assuming not by someone from the same religion, I would. If from same religion, no matter the religion, it's IMO a violent, public relations stunt.

So was I, and most likely, like you it was long before there were Muslims in Minnesota, at least not in any numbers that were noticed. Long before Minneapolis became a refugee center for Muslims, before there were people trying to enforce sharia law in Minneapolis, before Al Shabaab threatened to attack the Mall of America, before the Muslim refugees formed gangs and caused increases in crime, before the people not in gangs started demanding that food banks carry special foods just for them.

None of that justifies blowing up anything, but there are over 3.5 million people in the Minneapolis metro area with up to 20% having mental illness of one kind or another, that's a huge number of people who potentially could feel threatened by all of that and respond badly.

Of course it wouldn't be the first time a mosque was attacked by a Muslim, if that's the case this time you have a very different answer to your question "what is wrong with Minnesota".

Canada too. though technically it was shot up rather than bombed.

Not a good trend, nor a surprising one. And yes, Trump should have been out front wholeheartedly condemning this act by now.

'There is too much anger out there.' Bombing of a Minnesota mosque leaves Muslims concerned - LA Times
>>> We let in too many moslem immigrants?
From a statistical standpoint, the odds are overwhelming that if a mosque is bombed it was a moslem that did it. A distant second would be our government, then the third option, its someone else.

Okay, let's just say the Russians did it. That seems to be the go to reasoning in what passes for our intelligence community.

Basically busted a couple of windows and their go fund me is up to 95K.

Also, 10K reward out. Too bad they don't offer rewards when Muslims kill and abuse Christians
