There is nothing whatsoever in this story about Adnan Ali Hussein’s motive. Has the NYPD looked into the possibility that he was pursuing his jihad? Jihadis have targeted numerous churches in arson attacks, and this was a festival named for a saint. Or is the NYPD too busy hunting for “white supremacists” to look into this possibility?

Video captures the moment a firebug set aflame a ticket booth at an Italian American festival in Brooklyn last month — and nearly torched himself in the process.

Adnan Ali Hussein, 28, can be seen at the ticket booth for the 18th annual Feast of Santa Rosalia in Bensonhurst on Aug. 24, according to the FDNY, which released footage of the incident Sunday.
