The caretaker for Tawheed Center of Detroit, 18640 W. Warren, between Evergreen and the Southfield Freeway, discovered the blaze at 5:30 a.m. as he arrived to open the mosque for the first prayers of the day. Investigators said someone broke the rear window, poured what is thought to have been gasoline inside and lit the building on fire.
Because it was discovered early, the fire was contained to a small area, officials said this morning.
Investigators think the crime may have stemmed from a personal issue rather than a hate crime.
