Maybe it was Muslims.....?

If the fire bugs were klansmen, then why did they burn both black, AND white churches?

No, it's either islamic in nature, or some bunch of hate filled liberal lefty types, punishing Christians for supporting Bush.

I tend to subscribe to the latter more than the former.

Has the Klan commented on any of this?

These church burnings have attracted astonishingly little national press coverage, (after all, it's not like they're REALLY important like gay bars), but if the MSM can spin this into a racial issue, and maybe even pin it on talk radio, we'll hear about nothing else.

The liberal press avoids any possibility of granting Christians victim status.

[beltfed308]

The Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has sent 50 agents to Alabama to investigate the fires, in addition to the 10 investigators from the FBI.

The perfect guys when it comes to church fires.

[plain talk]

My question is how the perpetrators would be charged if caught. Would they get extra counts for burning black churches than white ones? Would they get separate federal charges for burning the black churches (but not the white ones)?

[BenLurkin]

My money is on the "hate filled liberal lefty types."

Were the Baptist churches burned in rural Georgia a day or two before these "black"?

[Red Badger]

Klan? No, not unless the Klan has turned their sheets into turbans and bhurkas........

Were the Baptist churches burned in rural Georgia a day or two before these "black"?

No, but they were after the fires.......

The timing can't be ignored. Could be the other sheetheads or the NOI, as the former would stand out in those parts..

[razorback-bert]

Anti-Baptists?

[Red Badger]

Ockham was an optimist.......

[Red Badger]

Annabaptists........

[sheik yerbouty]

Sheetheads by any other name..

This morning I heard on TV the authorities have ruled out that this was a 'hate crime'.....I guess burning down Christian churches is okay if they aren't ethnic minorties? I'm sorry...what are the 'hate crime' rules again?
