[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]....and here's Fox News running the chyron "Attack on Faith"

That was one segment on their morning opinion show and it was specifically about how do you feel safe in church. Because if you can't feel safe there, than where?[/quote]

But it wasn't an attack on faith.  It was an attack on Black people that took place in a place of faith.   It's like calling 9/11 an "Attack on Architecture"[/quote]

Did you watch the segment? It featured a pastor talking about how you feel safe returning to church after an incident like this. No on said "This is an attack on faith and not a hate crime" It was one segment addressing that this happened in a church and church is the one place everyone should feel safe.[/quote]True but as I recall Steve Doocy said something about why are people assuming this is about race when it probably is or could be about religion?[/quote]

Right, he posed that question before Dylann Roof made any confession about his motives.

It could have been a hate crime against african americans, a hate crime against christians or a hate crime against both. No one knew at that time, could only guess. I really don't see why his posing that question makes him the devil.[/quote]

It very quickly came out that a survivor recounted he said "You rape our women and are taking over our country, you have to go", along with the pictures of him wearing the apartheid-era South Africa and Rhodesia flag, which are symbols used by white supremacists. It was not in any way far fetched to think that the individual targeted that specific church not because it was a church, but because it was a historically black church.

Like you said no concrete information was known, but Fox News immediately put up the headline ATTACK ON FAITH with no basis to do so, just to counteract the information that was already out there pointing pretty clearly to a hate crime that was racially motivated.[/quote]

This a-hole wanted to create conflict among people and from the looks of some of these posts, he's succeeding. Just stop already[/quote]
