Ahmed Taqi was just “experiencing a mental health crisis,” as are so very many jihadis. And that may be the case, although nothing that the deeply corrupt and compromised FBI says can be taken at face value. What is interesting in this case is that if Ahmed Taqi had been a non-Muslim who was “experiencing a mental health crisis” and set a fire at a mosque, there is no doubt whatsoever that the FBI would not be saying that there was “no indication of political or ideological motivations” behind the fire. Instead, the FBI would be talking about “right-wing extremism” and “white supremacy,” whether or not they actually had anything to do with the incident, in an effort to try to prop up their phantom menaces.
An update on this story. “FBI: No Political, Ideological Motivations in Mosque Fire,” Associated Press, February 19, 2022:
DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) — Investigators have found no indication of political or ideological motivations behind a fire at a Detroit-area mosque set by a man whom police later killed in a shootout.
There also is no evidence that Ahmed Taqi acted as part of any group, FBI Special Agent Josh Hauxhurst said Saturday during a community meeting at the Al-Huda Islamic Association in Dearborn where the fire happened, according to The Detroit News.
“He may be the only person who knows why he set the fire,” Hauxhurst told about 150 people at the meeting. “We often see telegraphing of motives in cases. We haven’t seen that in this case.”
Officers on regular neighborhood patrol noticed the fire at the mosque on Feb. 12 around 1 a.m. Taqi, 37, shot at the officers outside the mosque and ran away, Dearborn Police Chief Issa Shahin said….
Taqi was an Iraqi national and worked as a translator, Dearborn Mayor Abdullah H. Hammoud said Saturday….
“The goal here was to demonstrate that what happened one week ago was an isolated incident,” he said.
Hammoud has said Taqi may have been “experiencing a mental health crisis at the time.”

I wouldn’t mind betting that this guy had an epiphany and realised that islam is nothing more than a sham.
Realising that he had been deceived his entire life, he did what most people in this position would do.
He lost his shit and tried to burn down the nearest symbol of that deceit. The local barracks, I mean mosque!
Pity the cops let him take the pavement challenge, it would have been interesting to hear his motivation.

More likely: the 1,000 year old Shia/Sunni love affair. They’ve been offing one another since time immemorial…
PMK says
Motivations aside, it’s still arson, isn’t it? Is he being charged with a crime? (Silly question!!!)

He’s dead, Jim.

I can only hope that they get ever more effective in snuffing out every trace of their evil ‘faith’…. Their presence in this nation will forever be a knife to the jugular of our nation’s collective future…

Ah, a “translator”…like the one in CA who threatened the police, and now there are thousands of them…”translators” on their way to VA and probably other states too.
OLD GUY says
Thats like saying the KKK had no racist ideology or motivation either. Give me a break. Them again there always is the mental health issue with muslim criminals.
Diana says
Am I the only one concerned by the fact that both the Police Chief and the Mayor of Dearborn have Islamic sounding names?
