The mosque thing is most likely one of those 'hate crimes' by someone who really wants to offend them. We can only speculate on what ticks off this perpetrator about Muslims, maybe he's a supremacist who hates all minorities, or maybe its a group. I don't think we should make comparisons between public reaction to terrorist attacks and hate crimes, terrorism is not expressive conduct, hate crimes always are.
