Thankfully no one was hurt. FBI is investigating who did it and why. This is in my part of town and I've gone by this mosque plenty of times. While the neighborhood is older and poorer, I haven't felt unsafe there.

Well, who did it, and why, has not yet been determined. Maybe just some nut job or even an uptight non-terrorist Christian.
In any event, there are probably a dozen or more heinous acts committed daily throughout the country.
Do you expect the President to comment about all of them?

If a CHRISTIAN church was IED'd don't you think he'd be tweeting?

He might, if someone told him about it. He might do so in this case, too.
But wondering why you haven't heard anything yet directly from the President mystifies me.
Have you heard from anyone not in Minnesota yet?
Re: IED Explodes at Twin Cities Mosque
Trump's people are promoting religious freedom. Not Islam, of course. When righties say "religious freedom" they are talking about how oppressed the Christians are in the United States. Keeping that in mind, if this were a Christian who did this because they don't want "those people" here, wouldn't this bombing be an act of religious terrorism?

IED? What the hell is an IED? When I was young, we just said "bomb".
Is this constant use of TLAs (Three-Letter Abbreviations) some flawed political correctness or just showing off?

If you're actually asking, IED is Improvised Explosive Device.
Which I don't think we know for certain that this was.
Lots of people on this thread are jumping to conclusions instead of waiting for the investigation to unfold.

Well, if one of them was responsible for this, it would make him/her/it a terrorist.

It was a rhetorical question, actually. I read the newslink.
It's just so laughable to use these wordings. Why couldn't they just say "bomb"? If it was one, then it's almost self-explanatory that the "exploding device" was not off the shelf, but of course be kind of "improvised".

Correctomundo! As Christian as I am-and Im not saying a Christian did it but-I hate when people say all Muslims for example are terrorists. There is, Christian terrorism as well, you know...the KKK...so yes it would be religious terrorism.

The irony is it's going to be the mf'er in the White House that's going to get us all killed.

Its not outside the possibility that it was a fake hate crime. At a college in southern Minnesota a note was left on a black woman's windshield saying something about stop talking and the n-word. Turned out to be fake. However, lets wait until the investigation concludes instead of assuming what happened.

Possibly coming from a religious minority even.... You do realize the vast majority of terrorist acts against Muslims are committed by other Muslims?

There has been word:
"Sebastian Gorka, a White House national security adviser interviewed Tuesday on MSNBC, said the president wants to wait to comment on the incident until he learns more about it."
Maybe not what people want to hear.
Re: IED Explodes at Twin Cities Mosque
There has been word. Clinically insane words.

like the left wing faking it....
Trump has no problem condemning alleged Islamic terror strikes even before facts are in, or to make one up if it suits him. There is no two ways about it, Trump is a supporter of terrorism against Muslims.

In Muslim countries like Pakistan and Iraq. But, in the United States, attacks on Muslims are committed by Christians.

In Muslim countries that the West ruined? Yes. But in Western Countries? What ever your smoking seems to alter perception of reality, and I think I need some of it to ease my pain. Is it legal and if so may I have some? Please.
