In a court filing, police allege Moore set fire to the mosque in five separate locations with a charcoal lighter.
An investigator who identified Moore said he spoke to him at the scene of the fire, according to court papers.
Investigators also cited in court records say they identified Moore as the suspect via surveillance video from a pharmacy adjacent to the mosque. Claims by law enforcement in court records show the suspect was seen walking quickly from the mosque shortly before smoke erupted from the building.
Police allege during a search of Moore's home that they recovered a backpack and clothing that appeared to be the same items seen in the surveillance video from the time of the fire, court records show."
So after a couple days of the media claiming this was a hate crime and basically blaming this on some hate filled white Christian it turns out that this Mosque was torched by a long time member and devout Muslim.
First one I found-not the best source. There are other links as well however. It looks like that is his claim that he attended, and he told investigators that.
I notice that neither of the links indicate he was a muslim. Where do you get that from?

According to a charging instrument released by the Harris County District Clerk, Moore told investigators at the scene that he has attended the mosque for five years, coming five times per day to pray seven days per week.
"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."

Yeah like the Prez of the organization knows everyone who attends.

It's been all over the local news, he's a long time attendee and member of the Mosque that he burned. He spoke to the investigators as the fire was being put out and eluded to it being a hate crime.
