> Tom Beck I saw this mentioned a few times in the last week and want to bring some balance into the mix. Here is an unbiased article: http://www.cjr.org/year/96/5/churches.asp No churches were bombed; burning of churches of all faiths and races has been on the rise, slowly, for years; a small percentage, 5 of 75 or 7%, can be directly blamed on racism but this is no higher than it has been.
