Murders in churches: are
Christians being targeted?

Sponsored link.

Overview:

Some conservative Christians believe that major persecution of churches in North American is imminent, and may already have started. Many Christian leaders say that they have already detected ominous signs of a serious increase in religious hate crime -- the assassination of Christians across the U.S., presumably by non-Christians bent on exterminating Christianity. They feel that conservative Christians in particular are being directly targeted. 

This essay examines recent murders that have occurred inside or in front of churches.

Conclusions:

We have concluded that:

As of 2008-SEP, the most recent mass church killing was in a non-Christian sanctuary -- the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church. The perpetrator is a person who objected to their liberal views in general and their attitude towards homosexuals in particular. The perpetrator's religion and precise motivation is unknown at this time.
