If a native Briton had indeed done this, we would never hear the end of it, and the British people would be subjected to more hectoring about “Islamophobia” and “racism,” while Muslims received more coddling and special privileges. As it is, however, this story will be quickly swept under the rug.
“Man, 43, charged with attempted arson following attack at Kettering Muslim Community Centre,” by William Carter, Northamptonshire Telegraph, October 7, 2025:
Arif Ali Rafiq, from Northampton, will appear in court today after being charged with attempted arson at the mosque in Headlands, Kettering….
A Northamptonshire Police spokesman said: “Arif Ali Rafiq, a British-born Asian man, of Harlestone Road, Northampton, has been charged with attempted arson with intent to endanger life.
“The charge relates to an incident on the afternoon of Sunday, October 5, when an attempt was made to set fire to the front door of the mosque.”…

Muslim being a muslim. Here’s another one:
“Zohran Mamdani wrote in 2013 about how he once “thought of” joining volunteers hoping to “disrupt attempted assaults” in Cairo [during the nationwide protests that were to depose President Mohammad Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood], but ultimately decided the “last thing Egyptians needed was a well-meaning foreigner’s assistance.” https://dailycaller.com/2025/10/06/mamdani-once-thought-volunteering-to-help-stop-assaults-decided-against/
It’s obviously more important to avoid appearing to be a colonialist than to stop rapes; to an aspiring muslim politician, that is.

I read a day or two ago about a fire at a muzzie barracks which burned a car. Would not have been surprised to learn a muzzie did the dirty deed. Not surprised at this, either.
How many times has this been the case? Attacks on muzzies …like the one some time ago in AZ (or NM)…by their own, and arson at muzzie barracks found to be by their own.
This came…and if the one where the car was burned is a separate arson…right after the attack on the synagogue where innocent people were murdered.
No muzzie gets injured or killed when their barracks are *attacked*….because the muzzie doing the crime waits until no one is there.
Arson is a serious *hoax*….and we know how fond muzzies are of hoaxes, used to give *proof* to their lies about being targeted for hate crimes.

I have been asking the Lord to give those who are trapped in lies a desire to be free from a religion that steals, destroys and commits murder in the descriptive noun of their god. allah is not a name but a word that means god in Arabic and curse in Hebrew like a word that means dog or cat or anything else but not a personal name unless the word god can be a personal name on your birth certificate. Also I have been asking the only living God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of Israel to put a desire in the hearts of those trapped in lies to know the Truth and to desire a real God Who talks to them and loves them and wants a deep connection with them. The GOD of Israel is real and HE answers us as we ask in the name of HIS SON for all Israel to be saved by the One Who came to die for us and enter 11,000 degrees Fahrenheit (the same temperature as the surface of the sun). being in the fire for three days and three nights, as Jonah was in the belly of the earth for three days and three nights, so was the Son of Man in the belly of the earth for three days and three nights. All sin has been paid in full so if you want to enter eternity into the presence of the Only One Who can save you and give you abundant life forever, tell Jesus (Yeshua) that you want Him to come into your life and give you eternal life in His presence,. You will never regret it.

Love it @Invaded.

That’s very kind. At risk of sounding somewhat sycophantic, yours and other are often better to be honest.

If you get arrested, accuse the police of being islamophobic 😈

The idea that we need more Jihadists like this is questionable. His attacking a Mosque does *not* necessarily mean that he hates Islam–just that he is so violent that he will also attack his own coreligionists.

Hope what ever this person has is catching. Do you think he is mentally ill ??

Speculation is that this was a put up job to scam money through an insurance claim.
The bonus being that the “Far right” would be blamed and the Muslim community would be able to play the victim card.
After the murders at the synagogue this could counter the Isamophobic reaction.
So it would have been a win win situation had not the arsonists not been recorded speaking in Urdu.
Doh !!
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Thanks for explaining that. I thought it might have been a sunni causing arson at a shi’a mosque, or vice versa
Eddie says
Good point.
The sunni shi’a aspect might still be relevant.
Though this is not openly apparent on the streets if the UK.
Pakistani communities like in Dewsbury seem to resent Arabs being housed in their area.
The online speculation is an insurance scam.
Odd that a car was set on fire outside and there were two people inside the mosque who had to escape.
Some things don’t add up.
May be the arsonists were just stupid and bungled it.
Lots of money already being donated for repairs apparently.
What is certain is that there was a immediate reaction that the Far right had done this. That terrorism is not just Islamic.
One famous leftie footballer, who made lots of money from Qatar, declared the fire was as a result of middle aged white men putting up National flags and causing division !
Division there certainly is,
Rape gangs, terrorist attacks, favouring foreigners in housing, employment and in the courts, flying foreign flags and complete third world enclaves in towns and cities.
Muslims are invited into UK schools and tell christian kids that they will soon be followers of Islam.
That is what causes “division”
Or call it enforced diversity.
It was bound not to end well. Oil and water don’t mix.

Paki-Arab fissures! Now that’s something I’d take the 🍿 out for 😈
Yeah, I know, I know, you’d rather have watched it from a distance, assuming that you’d be remotely interested in it at all, rather than in your own backyard
Funnily enough, in the subcontinent, Pakis love to pretend that they are descendant from Turks or even better, Arabs, while the latter know for a fact that Pakis are neither. Nonetheless, they have this racial hierarchy within themselves, even while they taunt Hindus for having castes
I’d love to see how Arabs react once Paki rape gangs start targeting their women 😈
England Invaded says
Indeed. Everyone in the UK knows how they exploit insurance through fraud of one type or anther.
Making hugely more claims than anyone else and has been so for decades.
Then their laundering operations as well.

UK: Far-right Islamophobe sets fire to mosque — no, wait, a Muslim did it

I’m shocked, shocked!…oh, wait…no I’m not. I wondered if this was the case from the beginning.
