It definitely is, motivated by religious intolerance and hatred. Sad.

Hold on - how do we know it wasn't just an insurance scam?

How any white-owned buildings burning down do we call out as insurance scams?

No idea, but surely the point is to wait until the cause of the fire is determined before declaring it a racist attack?

We should also wait until the cause has been determined before calling it an insurance scam, or anything else for that matter.

It will be impossible to prove. Even if it was an 'arson attack', it could be self inflicted for those very reasons. It's a good day to be a minority wanting to scam insurance companies.

Is that a serious question?

Actually it is. I see nothing remarkable or contentious in such a question. Do you?

Three pages into a thread about about a terrorist attack on a mosque and the consensus appears to be that muslims did it.

The burning down of the al-Rahma Islamic Centre in Muswell Hill is a devastating blow for the local community. But the ripple effects of this are being felt around our country, especially among Muslims. A centre serving as a mosque, meeting place and school for young children has been destroyed. But for the grace of God, this fire could have been during the early morning Fajr congregation prayers. The fear now is that it might be repeated elsewhere. While we all hope the centre will rise like a phoenix from the flames in double-quick time, we can't dismiss the fear that many of our fellow citizens feel.

There are credible suggestions that this was arson, with police treating the fire as suspicious and some concluding it is an act of Islamophobia. My advice is that we must all retain cool heads, and not respond rashly. Our emergency services are doing a sterling job, and what the police need is time to piece together what has happened. I urge all with information to come forward and help the authorities to establish the cause of this fire.

Oh, maybe it was for money then.
