Social media users have voiced frustration at what they described as a double standard after a mosque was bombed in the US.
The explosion at around 5am local time (09:00 GMT) at the Dar Al Farooq Islamic Center in Bloomington, Minnesota, caused damage but did not cause any casualties.
Worshippers had been preparing for the dawn prayer when the attack happened.
There were between 15 and 20 people inside the building at the time, according to Star Tribune, a local newspaper.

Is there any doubt that if this had been a Christian church it would have been all over the news?

(146,333 posts)Since nobody was harmed, it's unlikely that it will be a major national story for long. The FBI is on it, as is ATF. I expect that the perpetrator will be found soon, perhaps even today. People saw him/her drive away in a pickup and surveillance cameras will have images of the perp and the truck.
