Ore. fire raises Muslims' fears of attack backlash (AP)

Ahson Saeed, of Corvallis, Ore., reacts over a pile of burnt debris pulled from a local mosque in Corvallis, Ore. Sunday, Nov. 28, 2010 where an alleged arsonist set a fire in the early morning hours. Anger on Sunday over a Somali-born teen's failed plan to blow up a van full of explosives during Portland's Christmas tree lighting ceremony apparently erupted in arson on Sunday when a fire damaged the Islamic center once frequented by the suspect. Police don't know who started the blaze or exactly why, but they believe the mosque was targeted because terror suspect Mohamed Osman Mohamud, 19, occasionally worshipped there.

Other Muslims fear it could be the first volley of misplaced retribution.
