More details are emerging about the alleged perpetrator of a string of firebomb attacks in Queens, New York, and we now have confirmation that the suspect, Ray Lazier Lengend, is a violent anti-Muslim bigot: Alleged Queens firebomber wanted to massacre Muslims in mosque, prosecutors say.

THE UNHINGED Queens pyromaniac who unleashed a scary New Year’s Day firebombing spree had planned to take out “as many Muslims and Arabs as possible” by lobbing Molotov cocktails at worshipers inside a mosque, prosecutors said.

Ray Lazier Lengend, 40, allegedly told cops he had planned to inflict “as much damage as possible” by hurling all five of his firebombs from the balcony of Imam Al-Khoei Islamic Center onto the crowd below.

The hateful bomb-hurler, who is under psychiatric observation at Bellevue Hospital center, flat-out told detectives he did not like Muslims or Arabs, prosecutors said.

I’m calling on Pamela Geller publicly to retract her disgusting claim that the Muslims at the Imam Al-Khoei Islamic Center attacked their own mosque.

No, I don’t expect her to do that, but anyone with a shred of decency would — especially since it’s now quite clear that this crime was motivated by exactly the kind of hateful bigotry spread by Geller and her cohort Robert Spencer.

Geller, meanwhile, has an article today at the far right’s nuttiest website, World Net Daily, in which she blasts wordpress.com for shutting down the hate site “Bare Naked Islam.”

The site was shut down, by the way, for numerous comments threatening violence against Muslims; specifically, calling for the firebombing of mosques. Their deranged fantasies are coming true in real life.
