savageroses:A masjid in Victoria, Texas caught on fire last night (28 Jan 2017). The imam has stated that he doesn’t want to speculate if it was an arson that did this, so I want to respect his wishes regarding that. At this time they’ve opened a gofundme (link) to rebuild. Please donate if you are able to. This mosque has been nothing but graceful and kind in this situation, and there has been an outpouring of community support as well. At the time I’m writing this, the mosque has raised $49,270 of their $450,000 goal within 4 hours, but they’ve still a long way to go. Keep this masjid in your thoughts and well-wishes and prayers, as well. It’s tumultuous time to be a minority of any sort, and any goodness and support means so much. I don’t want to have to see a burning mosque like this. https://www.gofundme.com/victoria-islamic-center-rebuildingInnaa lillaahi wa ‘innaa ‘ilayhi raaji'oon, allaahumma’-jurni fee museebatee wa ‘akhliflee khayran minhaa.(news sources: x x x x) -- source link
