BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - A coalition of organizations has launched a campaign to raise $1 million to help rebuild 10 rural Baptist churches damaged by arsonists.

The joint effort involves the Alabama regional office of the National Conference for Community and Justice, Birmingham television station WBRC, AmSouth Bank and clergy from a wide range of religions faiths.

"These fires are not just an attack on 10 rural churches," Lemarse Washington, executive director of the NCCJ's Alabama regional office, said. "Regardless of faith, or race, we are all pained when a house of worship is burned."

Birmingham area clergy including Ed Hurley, pastor of South Highland Presbyterian Church, are also helping lead the effort. South Highland has contributed $1,000 and the Birmingham Jewish Federation has previously contributed $2,000.

1. Bush said the US government would help rebuild....

the mosques in Iraq. But you tax-paying citizens in Alabama, fuck you.

Silly poor folk, the US government only helps Arabs.
