The sttement, ``Far right partly to blame for church burning'' (June 18), is as unsound a statement as saying the far liberal left is to blame for all the crime in America. However, it was good to read in the article that Ralph Reed of the Christian Coalition and the Rev. Joseph Lowery of SCLC are considering meeting together to deter the horrendous crime and sacrilege of burning churches and synagogues. People working together can stop crime.
I believe that other ethnic groups such as Asian, Hispanic and Caucasian Americans should start groups similar to the center for Democratic Renewal in Atlanta. The centers could work separately, to stop all crime in America.
