December 18, 2005. Ali R. Warrayat Driving While Arabic Car Into Home Depot Arson In Chandler, Arizona 24-year-old Ali R. Warrayat crashed through the doors of the Home Depot at 6 a.m, slammed into the flammable paints and and ignited the blaze with a lighter setting off explosions. He then headed for the exit, sweeping merchandise from the shelves. He waited for police to arrest him, then talked to them in Arabic. His motives were unclear, but the Arizona University student was fighting for "freedom" and was angry about a Mexican border fence, and put a Palestinian flag and Quran in his car, and a tatoo of a Nazi swastika on his foot. Police found images of molotov cocktail fire bombs and dead children under a mideastern flag on his computer. Counterjihad bloggers on the other hand freely speculated his motives could be related to his ethnic background and religion.
Jordanian-turned-U.S. citizen devised a plan to make a grand statement by crashing into the store at Alma School Road and Chandler Boulevard and setting it on fire. He then grabbed his cat and his uncle's pit bull and brought them along for the ride with the intent of killing them in the fire. After crashing through the doors at 6 a.m. that Sunday, he expertly navigated the aisles and headed straight for the paint department, slamming his car into the flammable goods. He jumped to the roof of the car, looked around for a second and then hopped to the ground. He used a lighter to ignite the blaze, and loud explosions followed as store employees ran for safety
When police talked to him, he replied in Arabic and when asked if he understood English, said, “Do you speak Arabic?” He told police he was angry at the store management about not getting a proper raise. Warrayat had worked in the store six months before but was transferred after conflicts with the manager. He caused $1 million in damage. The Arizona State University student and US citizen from Jordan said that his motives were "personal". He was mad at the United States for proposing a 700-mile fence along the Mexican border and wanted to make America "more free." At first, he wanted to wear a Palestinian flag, but later decided to place it in the trunk of his car, along with a copy of the Quran and a necklace. Warrayat hung a Quran hanging from his rearview mirror, and referred to his religion often in police statements. He had a swastika tattooed in red and black on the bottom of his foot "as a sign of disrespect" and police found images of men lighting Molotov cocktails and a cartoon of two bloodied and dead children with a Middle Eastern flag in the background on his computer

MUSLIM IN 'PERSONAL ATTACK' ON HOME DEPOT
Crashes through store with Quran, Palestinian flag in trunk
Published: 12/31/2005 at 1:00 AM
With a copy of the Quran and a Palestinian flag in his trunk, a Jordanian-turned-U.S. citizen crashed his car into a Home Depot in Arizona where he formerly worked, igniting an explosive blaze in the stores’ paint section and causing $1 million in damage.
The Dec. 18 attack in Chandler, Ariz., by 24-year-old Ali R. Warrayat was a carefully planned “personal statement,” the East Valley Tribune of Mesa, Ariz., reported.
Warrayat, a student at Arizona State University in Mesa, had his car radio blasting with Arabic music to drown out the yells of employee he might encounter, the paper said.
After crashing through the doors at 6 a.m., Warrayat headed for the paint department and slammed the vehicle into the flammable goods. He jumped out of the car, ignited the blaze with a lighter then headed for the exit, sweeping merchandise from the shelves as he went. He then sat on the curb outside, waiting for police to arrest him.
When police arrived, however, he struggled with officers and refused to cooperate when asked if he understood his Miranda rights.
Warrayat replied in a foreign language and when asked if he understood English, said, “Do you speak Arabic?”

He is being held in a county jail in Phoenix without bond on suspicion of aggravated assault and arson.
A Home Depot official told police the company will consider placing armed guards at all of its stores in the area if Warrayat is released from jail.
Warrayat worked as a paint stocker in the Chandler store six months ago but was transferred to another Home Depot location after difficulties with a supervisor. He told police he was angry at the store management about not getting a proper raise.
He also said he was mad at the United States for proposing a 700-mile fence along the Mexican border and wanted to make the country “more free.”
A day after the incident, Warrayat asked reporters to come to the jail to hear him make a statement, but when they arrived, he refused to speak, gazing at the ceiling and the floor with his lips pursed, the Tribune said.
Friends described Warrayat as deeply religious, with a Quran hanging from his rearview mirror; and in police statements, the 24-year-old referred to his religion often, the paper reported.
A co-worker and friend said Warrayat was “gentleman-like and respectable with everyone.”
“When I saw him on TV, he did not look like the Ali that I know,” Joaquin Bustamante told the Tribune. “He was a hard worker and worked circles around everybody, and he was a very private person.”
Warrayat told police he had a swastika tattooed in red and black on the bottom of his foot after the Nazi symbol was painted on a mosque where he prays. Islam considers stepping on things disrespectful, he explained.
Police seized a computer at the house he shares with his parents, finding images of men lighting Molotov cocktails and a cartoon of two bloodied and dead children with a Middle Eastern flag in the background.
