A friend of mine wanted to bet me about whether the next "terrorist" attack in the U.S. would be by an alleged Muslim or Christian.
On November 5, 2009, a mass murder took place at Fort Hood, near Killeen, Texas.[1] Nidal Malik Hasan, a U.S. Army major and psychiatrist, fatally shot 13 people and injured more than 30 others.[2][3] The shooting produced more casualties than any other on an American military base.[4][5] Several individuals, including Senator Joe Lieberman,[6] General Barry McCaffrey,[7] and others have called the event a terrorist attack.[8][9] The United States Department of Defense and federal law enforcement agencies have classified the shootings as an act of workplace violence.[10]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Federal law enforcement officials have found no links among any of several recent fires at African American churches in the U.S. South and have determined that two were started by natural causes and one was due to an electrical fire.
Although church fires have declined significantly in recent decades, they are not infrequent: Blazes at houses of worship happened, on average, 31 times a week across the nation, according to the data collected during the five-year period ending in 2011. If those trends still hold today, an average of five church fires could be intentionally set each week.
No one keeps a comprehensive, up-to-date tally of church fires in the United States, so it's possible to undercount the incidents.

it's not hard at all for me to believe that there are those who'd just burn down churches for the same reason that the guy shot those people.

Sure, there are plenty of "those" who do things just as bad, but go unreported. The SC church shooter wasn't that bad. It's just the media.
Just as there are "those" who do other things just as bad, but are not reported as such.
