Church Burnings

Perhaps you've heard of the six black church burnings recently in the South.  Or perhaps not.  But imagine if ISIS - or any Muslim - had burned one instead of the KKK.

On Tuesday, another one burned.

An African-American church in South Carolina that was burned down by the Ku Klux Klan 20 years ago was the scene of another blaze on Tuesday, officials and a newspaper said, though the cause was not immediately clear.

The fire at Mount Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church in the city of Greeleyville comes amid a rash of fires that have erupted at black churches across the U.S. south, at least two of which have already been declared as deliberate.

[...]

Federal investigators have said they have so far found no link between the fires at predominantly black churches across the southern United States since the shooting, and none have been labeled hate crimes.

Tuesday's fire would be at least the seventh blaze since the shooting [of nine blacks in a Charleston, South Carolina , church on June 17.]

"No link."

Historically black churches in Tennessee, North and South Carolina, Florida, and Georgia have been damaged or destroyed in fires that began last Monday. In two cases, the fires may have resulted from natural causes, while three were determined to be arson, and one is still being investigated.

Well, we know it's NOT terrorism.  How could it be?  No Muslims were involved.
