Homegrown Terror of the Christianist Kind

Note the dateline on this story (about which I've heard nothing in the national or even statewide news) and remember that New York Congressman Peter King has been holding hearings exclusively about Islamic terrorism on American soil. As far as I can tell, regular Americans have much more to fear from right-wing religious nuts than any ol' run-of-the-mill Muslin terr'ists.
MADERA -- A Chowchilla school bus driver has been charged with firebombing a Planned Parenthood office here last September, and authorities said Thursday he also is responsible for vandalism and menacing signs left at the city's Islamic center.

Donny Eugene Mower, 37, of Madera, was arrested Wednesday on federal charges of attacking a reproductive health clinic. If convicted, he faces a minimum of five years in prison.

The September firebombing came several weeks after someone threw a brick at the Madera Islamic Center and left signs there, including one that read, "Wake up America, the enemy is here."
