This is the first I have heard about the fires in AZ. My question, why are these not called hate crimes? The media refused to say someone is deliberately targeting Christian churches.

I do not approve of hate crimes being enacted, don't get me wrong. For any specific group. But they should serve to aid in investigations, since they ate on the books. How many churches have to burn before the right attention is gotten to the matter? If they were mosques, you can bet there would be riots at the very least!

Now I know, Christians, by nature and by faith, do not behave that way. Still, the comparison is stark.

It was the first time I had heard about them, too. I figured since the Alabama fires have received so much publicity, I should post the article. However it surprised me even more when they said that they have had multiple church fires in Arizona in the past few years and none of these has received national attention so far as we know.
