3 Suspects in Bombing of Minnesota Mosque Face Weapons Charges

Three men charged Tuesday with illegally possessing a machine gun are suspected of bombing a mosque in Minnesota and attempting to bomb an abortion clinic in Illinois last year, federal officials said.

While the complaint does not charge the men with crimes related to the bombing episodes, the authorities said that they had gathered evidence indicating that the men were responsible for them. The investigation is continuing, they said.

The men — Mr. McWhorter, 29, Michael B. Hari, 47, and Joe Morris, 22 — believed that Muslims “push their beliefs on everyone else,” the affidavit said.

because blowing up a mosque encourages free thought...

Mosque Terror Attack Suspect Put In Detailed Bid to Build Trump a 'Great' Border Wall

An Illinois contractor bidding to build President Donald Trump's wall on the Mexican border was among three men arrested Tuesday in connection with the bombing of a mosque in Minnesota and the attempted bombing of a women’s health clinic in Illinois.

Michael B. Hari, 47, was arrested and charged Tuesday in federal court in lllinois with arson and possession of machine guns.

In a YouTube video promoting the proposal, a narrator says the wall would be "culturally significant, a powerful architectural statement of the determination of the American people to defend their nation and its Anglo-Saxon heritage, western culture, and English language" and would defend "our way of life from other people who have different value systems."

If you remember back when this terrorist attack happened, the White House ignored it and tried to attribute it to a fake hate crime. This is textbook bigotry where you treat one attack as important while ignoring/dismissing another attack because in your eyes, the victims' lives don't matter.

The OP article/news item states that the men who are being charged for a mosque bombing, also attempted to bomb an abortion clinic, (which means it's a bit more nuanced than "Da racists! against da Muslims!".

Then again, maybe they tried to bomb a Muslim abortion clinic?

What happened? The original OP story didn't quite work out like you planned, (xenophobia, Islamophobia, racism, et al), so you changed up the news story - mid thread?

This is the same White House that supported Nazis and KKK by saying some are "very fine people". So I think it is to be expected.

The leader of an Illinois anti-government militia group who authorities say was the mastermind behind the 2017 bombing of a Minnesota mosque was sentenced Monday to 53 years in federal prison.

In a brief statement before sentencing, Hari, 50, described the mosque bombing victims' statements as "heartbreaking," adding, “I want to wish them God’s richest blessings in Christ Jesus.”

In court Monday, Elkins said the defense wasn’t blaming gender dysphoria [Hari has legally changed her name to Emily] for the mosque bombing but that online "misinformation" and Islamophobia, combined with Hari's mental health issues led Hari to attack Dar Al Farooq.

Didn’t Trump officially declare the KKK a terrorist organization?

Well, that was a campaign promise in 2020. Presumably, he could have just done it, since he was president at the time, but I don't know that he did.
