A clue. Col. Mustard in the gal with a pipe (bomb) comes to mind. But I wish they’d put away the kids stuff

Going to get much worse.

Wait until they torch the National Cathedral and/or Saint Peter's in Rome. Then what?

More middle easterners are moving to that area.
There are a lot of Syrians, but I believe they are mostly Christian.
That whole area is referred to as “ABE”
Allentown, Bethlehem, & Easton...

Anyone of the dingbats out there wanting to create religious and racial issues are sure to be called on before the election.

If. St Peter’s burned I think the Pope would turn it into one of two things, an interfaith worship center, or a shrine to mother Gaia.

Sorry, not real exciting. Sounds to me like an electrical problem. They better figure it out fast before it really blows up. Believe me, a seminal memory of mine is linked to such a fire.

Sounds like drone use to try and start a fire on the roof. I wonder about Notre Dame and that fire that started where no electrical wiring was located.

Because we never needed to until now and shouldn't have to.

And some churches just aren't plain big enough to have that kind of man power.

Well it’s good that they are mostly Christians.

Two big differences between W Europe and us is we have 1 percent muslims (too high!) while some of them have over ten PERCENT. Numbers tend to make you feel braver.

And our police Do Not have any no go zones, for the most part.

I had vending machines and drove a cab all over the 5 boroughs and even back when things were NASTY, there were cops everywhere.

I don’t get the “no go zone” mentality.

If you have a congregation, you have the people power to do the job.

How often do you do guard duty at night your church to prevent arson?

_________________________

The Romans were, by the time Christianity reared up, half hearted about their gods and rituals. Christianity was the new, stronger option. Much more attractive and different than the winking pap they had been fed.

No, Islamics are not going to become Christian in any appreciable degree.

However Christians and non believers will become Islamic. Easily.

Then guess who's in control?

Another option is dealing with crime appropriately.

And, yes, I know jails are overcrowded. But you know what? There are ways of dealing with some crimes without incarcerating people.

And death row should not be a 20-30 ride.
