ISIS Sends Fruit Basket to People Who Set Fire to Peterborough Mosque

Refusing to buckle to the whims of the arsonists, community members of all creeds responded to the attack by launching a crowdfunding campaign to raise funds for repairs. By Monday morning, $48,000 had already been raised to help with the estimated $80,000 in damages.

Given their commitment to being despicable cowards, the arson suspects could not be reached for comment. At press time it is assumed they are proud to be terrorists

ETA: yes, I know the Beaverton is a satirical site. Here is the CBC story on the arson.

Over $90K when last I checked. Yay!

102K as of right now; the mosque has noted they will use only the quoted amount for the actual restoration, and anything else will be donated to charitable purposes.

and see the thing is it literally only takes one person to have started that fire, but raising that much in that little time means a lot of people joining together to address the damage. And that is good.

And the local synagogue has offered them space for worship while their mosque is out of commission.

Humanity is not all bad.

Absolutely: Peterborough contains a huge number of great people and, apparently, a few appalling sacks of shite.
