This sure sounds like a hate crime to us. Maybe devout Catholic President Joe Biden or Attorney General Merrick Garland will put out an official statement decrying the burning of 200 Bibles, intentionally set on fire in a trailer left in an intersection. Remember how huge a news story it was in 2005 when an American interrogator at Guantanamo Bay flushed a Quran down a toilet to unnerve Muslim detainees? That story was everywhere — and then Newsweek and NPR and everyone else retracted it.
Imagine how fast Garland would be on this if they were Qurans.

If it was pride flags the FBI would’ve already raided the house of the person who set the fire https://t.co/lwZilE8mPW

Yeah, it’s just people expressing their right to free expression. Nothing to get upset about.
If this was a pile of pride flags, a Hate Crimes SWAT unit would already be dispatched

If it was any other holy book, the MSM would be losing their minds.

Well, they can’t pin this on a Christian nationalist, so there’s no story.
This is a hate crime but I’m sure the FBI will do nothing about it.

The White House hates Christians.
Biden and his administration are saying that with their actions and their lack of actions.
They couldn’t be any clearer.

This is a coordinated attack on Christianity. Churches were also under fire today. Jesus is King and we will prevail.

They just keep pushing

A hate crime definitely. Of course burning Bibles isn’t going to hurt the cause of Jesus Christ. In fact the more persecution, the more it will spread. Nothing can stop the good news of Jesus.

Would be interesting to find out to who this can be tracked to 🤔

Where’d they get the Bibles? Did they raid a church?
Good thing billions of these have been printed.

Isn’t some stunt like this meant to generate an environment of fear in the Christian community? Should Christians feel safe?
