Obviously, if the perpetrators looked like they might be of Arab descent, it’s terrorism, but if they look like “normal Americans,” it’s an innocuous act.

I second the :). It looks like a woosh to me. I was going to stop by the mosque today and ask how things were going but I had a bad headache.

Just as an FYI, this mosque is not visible from the main drag. I didn’t even know it was there and I drive by it all the time. It’s in an area that enjoyed a bit of gentrification (due to a couple of nice rehabs) but I don’t think it caught on like people hoped it would. It’s cut off by the highway so there is a level of seclusion to it. I thought maybe the mosque was bordered by an alley but it’s not, so whoever did it was cutting through the property.
