It is not yet clear why the man attacked the mosque, but some local people said he was a "Salafist".
Salafists are very conservative Muslims who try to emulate the earliest followers of the Prophet Muhammad. Some Salafists preach hatred of Shia Muslims.
Isabelle Praile, a leading figure in Belgium's Muslim community, told national broadcaster RTBF that the mosque had been given a police guard some years ago because of threats from Salafists.THESE ARE THE FOLKS WHO ARE NOW RUNNING EGYPT.
IT SEEMS THAT WHEN MUSLIMS CAN'T KILL NON-MUSLIMS THEY GLADLY KILL EACH OTHER.
AND THE WORST ONES ARE THE ONES WHO MOST CLOSELY EMULATE THEIR SO-CALLED PROPHET.
IF THEIR PROPHET WAS SO BAD WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU ABOUT THIS CREED?
UPDATE: NYTIMES:
An arsonist’s attack on a Shiite mosque in a Brussels suburb that left its 46-year-old imam dead provoked shock and grief among Belgium’s Muslim population on Tuesday, but the authorities there attributed the attack to tensions between the Shiite and Sunni communities — not a new case of the so-called Islamophobia hostility that has been rising in Europe.ISLAM, RELIGION OF MURDER.
Also note THIS in Kosovo. Tribal warfare.
