The man who allegedly set fire to a St. Paul mosque this week is facing arson, burglary, and drug charges, but the Ramsey County Attorney's Office said there's no evidence of a hate crime.

and there is a lot of interesting stuff about him that goes beyond what's in post#3 above, but I don't have time to summarize. Basically a weird guy who likes meth and fires.
