7:29Now PlayingAn Islamic Center in Minneapolis was the victim of a terrorist attack. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, the hosts of The Young Turks, tell you what happened. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Dar Al-Farooq Islamic Center in suburban Minneapolis, like other U.S. mosques, occasionally receives threatening calls and emails. Its leaders say they're more frightened now after an explosive shattered windows and damaged a room as worshippers prepared for morning prayers.
"We feel like it's much deeper and scarier than like something random," Mohamed Omar, the center's executive director, said Sunday. "It's so scary."
No one was hurt in the blast, which happened around 5 a.m. Saturday. Windows of the imam's office were shattered, either by what the FBI called an "improvised explosive device" or by an object thrown through them. The FBI is seeking suspects and trying to determine whether the incident was a hate crime.
Gov. Mark Dayton joined other public officials and community leaders for a meeting inside the building Sunday, describing the bombing as "so wretched" and "not Minnesota."
"This is an act of terrorism. This is against the law in America," Dayton said at a news conference afterward, the Star Tribune reported.”
