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]I see your point but I think it's a matter of nuance.  [b]I interpreted it as him rejecting the possibility of race out of hand.[/b]  You probably interpreted it as him raising an interesting question -- what if it's only about Christianity?  Okay, he's not the devil but it still seemed a clunky statement to me.  Really, Steve, you don't think race was a factor?  But I warrant that you may have been correct in your interpretation.

And therein lies the problem...[/quote]Ha - I wrote a nuanced paragraph acknowledging different points of view. You selected the part that supported your own point of view. I don't think I'm the one with the problem here. [/quote]
