๐ฎ๐ฅ Minnesota Fellow, Jackie Rahm Little, Faces Arson Charges for Two Mosque Fires
A Minnesota man, Jackie Rahm Little, was caught and charged for setting fires to two mosques in Minneapolis last week, according to the federal announcement last Sunday. ๐๏ธ๐ฅ
Little, 36, also known as Joel Arthur Tueting, hails from Plymouth, Minn. He was arrested on a Saturday in Mankato, Minn., and was placed under federal custody. His attorney did not provide any comments when asked. ๐ฎโโ๏ธ๐
Court records show that on April 23, around 7 p.m., Mr. Little ignited a fire at the Masjid Omar Islamic Center in Minneapolis. An employee at the mosque found Little attempting to set a cardboard box on fire in the restroom, and managed to chase him out of the building. ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฝ
The following day, approximately at the same time, four individuals working at the Masjid Al-Rahma Mosque noticed smoke billowing from the third floor. A daycare program occurring on a lower floor had to be evacuated. Security cameras caught Little entering the mosque shortly before the fire. A mosque representative informed law enforcement that the fire had caused tens of thousands of dollars in damage. ๐ธ๐
But that’s not all, Little also had a track record of mischief prior to the fires. ๐๐ฅ
On January 5, security footage shows Little spray painting “500” on the door of a congressional representative’s office, believed to be Ms. Omar. The same day, it is assumed that Little spray painted the same “500” on a police car assigned to a Somali officer, and at the entrance of a shopping center known as the “Somali Mall”. The meaning of “500” remains unclear, according to investigators. ๐๏ธ๐๐ช
Towards the end of last year, the unnamed congress representative received several emails from the same address. The emails included a picture of the representative’s door defaced with “500”, and a picture of a Quran in a toilet being urinated on. ๐ง๐ฝ๐ก
Ms. Omar stated that Little had defaced her office at least once and that there was “a crisis of hate against the Muslim community and other religious minorities” intended to keep people “fearful and divided.” ๐ข
“As Muslim Americans and as Minnesotans, we will not be terrorized,” she stated. “We will continue to stand united against this kind of prejudice because love is stronger than hate.” โค๏ธ๐ค
Hate crimes in the US rose by 11.6 percent between 2020 and 2021, according to the F.B.I. However, the data is incomplete and experts suggest that the actual figures are likely higher. Of the 1,590 hate crimes related to religion that were reported, 9.6 percent were anti-Islamic, says the agency. ๐๐ข
Authorities have not yet shared what they believe was the motive behind the mosque fires.
Chief Brian OโHara of the Minneapolis Police stated in a news conference on Sunday that the two fires were โintended to instill terror into the hearts of our community members.โ
โSetting fire to a sacred place, where children and families gather, is utterly inhumane,โ he said. โThis level of blatant hatred cannot be tolerated.โ ๐ซโ
Chief O’Hara mentioned that the Blue Earth County Sheriffโs Office arrested Mr. Little on a Saturday after a dispatcher realized that a man they were transporting to a mental health facility, Mr. Little, was wanted by the Minneapolis police.
Court records reveal that Mr. Little had a known history of arson or suspected arson, along with several documented incidents of domestic assault and other violent crimes. ๐๐ฅ๐
His mother, whose name was redacted in the court documents, informed law enforcement that she recognized her son in photos of surveillance footage taken of the two mosque fires and the January 5 acts of vandalism.
She stated that Mr. Little had been fascinated by fire from a young age and that she suspected he had been involved with unreported arsons because of times he had requested rides from different locations. He also reportedly harassed a Muslim woman while living in transitional housing, according to his mother. ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ง
In conclusion, the actions of Jackie Rahm Little, also known as Joel Arthur Tueting, highlight the challenges we face. It’s essential to remember to respect and protect each other, to honor all religions and cultures, and to stand together against such hatred. Only then, can we hope for better days ahead. ๐๐๐ค
