Attacks on Churches and Women’s Health Clinics Are Domestic Terrorism

Churches have been on fire all around Ferguson, Missouri, this month, and by that I mean mostly black churches. The press isn’t talking about it much. Last Saturday, the United Believers in Christ Ministries became the fifth church in the area to be set on fire. A sixth church was set ablaze Sunday, and a seventh church was set on fire Thursday. Five of these have been at black churches, while the sixth was at a mixed church and the most recent fire at a largely white church. In every incident, authorities suspect arson. The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives is involved in the investigations. In each case, the church’s front doors were sprayed with accelerant and set on fire; in most cases the damage has not been too extensive. The first six fires happened in predominately black neighborhoods within a three-mile radius of Ferguson.
