Arsonist Strikes Sarah Palin's Church in Alaska

Sarah Palin's home church in Wasilla, Alaska, the Wasilla Bible Church, has been damaged by arson, according to a news report at Townhall.com.

Investigators have concluded that the fire was definitely caused by arson, but they declined to say if there is any connection between the arsonist's motive and Palin.

The church's Pastor also declined to comment on whether or not the church has received any threats related to Palin's connection to the church.

For her part, Governor Palin contacted the Pastor expressing her regrets if the negative attention she received during the campaign led to criminal activity against the church.

Palin had received heavy criticism on the campaign trail for her religious views concerning abortion, homosexuality, and a host of other issues. And activists of late, particularly with regard to the homosexual issue, have turned violent.

The fire caused over $1 million dollars' worth of damage to the church. A few church members, including children, were inside the church when the fire was set, but no one was injured.
