Teen responsible for chemical bomb near Islamic Society of Portland -Helen Dailey
Police say there were no injuries or damage caused by a chemical bomb that went off in a parking lot near the Islamic Society of Portland.
The bomb went off in the lot between the Islamic Society and Back Bay Grill around 8:00 PM Tuesday night. Portland Police say Islamic elders came forward to tell them that a 13 year old from the Society was experimenting and was responsible for the bomb. Another bomb was also found undetonated.
Police say it's unclear if charges will be filed against the teenagers.

UPDATE:
The Junior Jihadist in Portland, Maine -Gadi Adelman
[B]ack in April of 2007 a student was suspended from the Lewiston Maine Middle School for putting a ham sandwich down on a table where a Muslim student was also sitting. It was referred to as a "hate crime".
The Maine middle school is calling the placing of the ham sandwich a "hate crime" and the local police are investigating the child. School Superintendent Leon Levesque said: "The school incident is being treated seriously as a hate incident!"
So, a ham sandwich is considered "a 'hate crime,' but an Islamic teenager sets off a bomb and "Police say it's unclear if charges will be filed against the teenager". Was the sandwich an exploding sandwich?
This is where we have come to in this country. Allah forbid we insult the Muslims in any way, shape or form, but charge the non-Muslim with a hate crime.
There is no telling what will happen with this 'Junior Jihadist', whether any charges will be filed and if so, if he will even be found guilty is anyone's guess.
[I]f that had been a non-Muslim 13 year old setting off a chemical bomb he would have been in cuffs and on every major network that night at 11pm.

Capturing the MidEast in short soundbites: poignant reflections by people who understand the complexities of the Middle East. My philosophy is: "less is more." You won't agree with everything that's here, but I'm confident you will find it interesting! Excepting the titles, my own comments are minimal. Instead I rely on news sources to string together what I hope is an interesting, politically challenging, non-partisan, non-ideological narrative.
