A day after releasing security video of the man suspected of firebombing a Jacksonville mosque, law enforcement officials acknowledged they had not gotten nearly as many calls as they expected.

“Someone out there knows who this person is,” said FBI Special Agent-in-Charge Jim Casey of Jacksonville office. “Anyone who recognizes this individual needs to contact us.”

Casey declined to reveal how many calls the FBI has gotten.

Authorities found remnants of a crude pipe bomb in the explosion, which occurred about 9:30 p.m. Monday at the Islamic Center of Northeast Florida on St. Johns Bluff Road.

“This was not a harmless prank,” Casey said. “We found shrapnel from the blast a hundred yards away close to 9A.”

At the time of the blast about 60 people were inside for evening prayers. The firebomb caused minor damage to the building. There were no injuries.

4. There's a school at the mosque

there could have been kids there, thank goodness there weren't any at the time.

Nobody's talking right now and not surprised, but as far as I know nothing like this has happened there before. My guess is that this has more to do with Dr. Ahmed being approved by the COJ council for the Human Right Commissioner.

this city is full of bigots, but there are some good people too. Unfortunately those people don't spend time on the internet countering the dumbasses with too much time on their hands.
