Get Religion leads this morning with a post about the rash of church fires in Alabama, wondering why the mainstream media has been mostly quiet about them. Crimes like these arsons will test any support of potential hate crimes legislation because Christians aren’t exactly the demographic supporters had in mind. And one has to wonder if these churches were either predominantly African-American, or something completely different (perhaps an abortion clinic or a homosexual community organization), if both the media and our leaders in Washington would be so quiet.
