Chicago synagogue firebombed; police probe possible link to Gaza violence
Haaretz / The Associated Press ^ | December 30, 2008

A bottle of flammable liquid was hurled at one of Chicago's oldest synagogues, catching fire but not causing major damage.

No one was injured in the incident early Monday at Temple Sholom of Chicago.

Chicago police and the Chicago fire department are investigating the arson as a hate crime. No one was in custody Monday.

Police officer Daniel O'Brien says the fire burned itself out and never ignited the North Side building. He says investigators are working to get surveillance equipment from the area.

Roger Rudich, president of the temple, says the arson was unsettling but not damaging.

When the movie comes out the culprits will be white Christian Republicans.

We hosted a Channukah party at our house, and the Rabbi put our address on the local newspaper’s on-line bulletin board.

Not terribly convenient timing.

Being a well-trained FReeper, though, we’re quite well armed, thank you very much.

He says investigators are working to get surveillance equipment from the area.

Might be best to leave the surveillance equipment in place in case they try again.

"leave the surveillance equipment in place"

Install a real fire-control system.

I wonder if O’Emanuel attends this synagogue?

Chicago is also the home to the ONE and Bill Ayers. I wonder where was Bill Ayers at the time of this incident?

I read that Ayers even in the old days sent others to do the messy stuff. He sent his girlfriend to set and place bombs and even got her killed in New York City preparing bombs.

Ya know the authorities keep an eye on mosques to make sure no American patriots blow some of them up.
But no keeping an eye on synagogues or Chruches?

Methinks some Muslims in America need some intense subtle monitoring.
Would be an interesting game to start a rumor with some Islamic cabbies and start chasing it down.

Did you expect less from him? Thats what dirt bag terrorists do, they send anyone but themselves to die and kill. They value their own lives too much, just no one else’s.
