Since January 1, 2010, eleven churches have been burned down within about 150 miles in central and eastern Texas. Eight have been determined to be caused by arson, the remaining three are suspected to be arson.
Officials are also looking into church fires from late 2009 which may be related.
"There is no clear theme linking the fires, which have struck various church denominations -- Methodist, Baptist, Church of Christ Scientist -- on different days of the week and at different times of the day, he said. And while the churches are in small towns -- such as Wills Point, which has a population of about 3,800 people -- not all the fires were in remote locations," Tom Crowley, special agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said in an interview with CNN. The churches also includes both black and white congregations.
There is a link however, yet this link will not appear in the mainstream media. All of the churches are variations of Christianity. Where is the outrage in the media in response to an obvious rash of hate crimes?
