Don't Go Into The Light

For those that feel that the Danish cartoons are a "hate crime", or "persecution" - you really don't have to go far to put these charges in the perspective they deserve:

CENTREVILLE, Ala. — The search for a possible arsonist or arsonists was under way Friday after six small churches in rural Alabama were found burning. At least five of the fires were suspected to have been set deliberately.

The fires were set "as fast as they could drive from one location to the next," Bibb County Chief Deputy Sheriff Kenneth Weems said of the cluster of blazes, all near U.S. 82 and Highway 139.

Most of the churches were Baptist and all were in Bibb County, about 25 miles south of Birmingham. Of the five suspected to have been targeted by arsonists, three were destroyed and two others were damaged.

So far, no Baptists have threatened to cut anyone's head off.

So far, no Baptists have threatened a holocaust.

So far, no Baptists have taken to the streets in scenes like these.

Isn't perspective wonderful?
