“U.S. Muslim groups launch fundraiser to rebuild burned black churches”

I don’t know whether or not there’s really a spate of arson attacks against black churches.  Possibly so.  I haven’t been following the story — or, frankly, given my travel and activity schedule in recent days, any story — very closely of late, but I think I heard that at least one such church-burning had turned out to be lightning-caused and also that, as a matter of fact, a number of white churches have burned recently, as well.  Perhaps at the usual statistically-predictable rate for old wiring, lightning strikes, and human error.  Perhaps we’re just paying more attention.  Which wouldn’t be a bad thing.  Or perhaps there’s a real arsonist or group of arsonists out there.

Whatever the cause, though, the burned churches ought to be rebuilt, and efforts such as this please me:
