Rutherford County Sheriff’s deputies are investigating a complaint about shots being fired near the construction site of the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro on Veals Road off Bradyville Pike.

A group of congregation members were at the site looking at the damage done to construction equipment over the weekend when they heard nine shots fired from two directions.

Around 3:15, they reported hearing six shots coming from one direction, and about three minutes later they heard three more shots from another direction, said Saleh Sbenaty, a congregation member and MTSU professor.

He wasn’t sure if the shots were being fired at the Muslim group, but in the aftermath of the weekend vandalism, he said they felt it necessary to report.

2. Only so many different ways revolution can go
What makes this country unique right now is that we have a lot of revolutions going on and no one knows which side will win.

7. They are isolated because no one wants to publicly call the right wing sound machine...
on what they have done.

We have demagogues that are pushing this, and no one can say, have you know shame, and get it to a wide enough audience.

Besides, If just 1% of the people are crazy that is three million dedicated warriors for right wing isolated incidents.

9. Actually, we were discussing what is happening here, not wars in the middle east.
and though many have died, and war crimes have probably been committed, it has not been a systematic attempt to wipe out all Muslims, so it is not "genocide."

GENOCIDE
: the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group


Now, back to the topic of isolated incidents where right wing crazies, mostly Christian, have been committing atrocities that no one wants to call terrorism.

Several deputies are at the scene investigating the incident, he said.
One piece of construction equipment was damaged over the weekend when it was burned, and three other pieces of equipment were doused with some sort of accelerant, Sbenaty said.

13. I hope the FBI is involved.
And, as long as Gitmo is still open, I hope the good Christian terrorists who are persecuting Americans of the Muslim persuasion get to stay there as long as the "War of Terror" lasts, like the terrorists on the other side.
