Investigators are looking into the
likelihood that the early Sunday

ally atten d ed the m osque w hile he
w as enrolled at O regon State U ni­
versity.
Since the fire, police have stepped
up patrols around m osques.

though 80 percent o f the Islam ic
cen ter's office w as burned.
T he FBI has jo in e d the arson
in v estig atio n , and has o ffered a
$ 10,000rew ard for inform ation lead-

"We have m ade it quite clear that
the FBI will not tolerate any kind o f
retribution or attack on the M uslim
com m u n ity ," said A rthur B alizan,
Special A gent in C harge o f the FBI
in O regon, in a prepared statem ent.
"W e are w orking very closely w ith
the leadership at the m osque. W e
w ill find the person responsible for
this attack and bring the full force o f
the federal ju stic e system to bear. In
the m eantim e, the FBI rem ains abso­

In reaction to the arson fire, one
Portland resident rem em bered that
“ During the Iran hostage affair, Leba­
nese restaurant ow ners were attacked
(because) people couldn’t tell — or
bother to find out — the different
betw een A rabs and Iranians. N ever
mind that Iranians who came to United
States to escape the political regim e
had nothing to do with it anyw ay,”
she said. “People feeling pow erless
lash out thoughtlessly.”
In response to questions about
fear o f further reprisals. M ay o r Sam
A dam s said, “ I trust in P o rtlan d ers’
sense o f fairness; that bad actions
by one m em b er o f any group does
not and should not be g eneralized
o r applied m ore w idely to o th er
m em bers o f that sam e group. O th er­
w ise, as part o f the biggest racial
group in Portland, European-A m eri­
cans, producing m any crim es daily,
w ould be in deep tro u b le.”
He added that City C om m issioner
