Where are the Evangelicals in Pittsburgh?

After I read this thread https://www.democraticunderground.com/100211339086 I was really proud of our Muslim citizens for effectively saying,

"My faith is so strong that I am prepared to put my life on the line so that you may practice yours."

Where are the Evangelicals? Anybody heard anything from them? Because they are far more likely to be able to protect a synagogue without becoming a target themselves...

The evangelicals as they are now known, are simply fringe racists who use the Bible to hide behind rather than the US flag that the other right-wing lunatics use.
Veiled Antisemitism by the Christians has been going on forever. The difference these days is that they now can conflate being Jewish with being on the left of the political spectrum - an obviously flawed assumption by the them, but no one ever accused the right of appealing to intelligent people.
Regardless of anyone's support, eleven innocent victims are dead because of right-wing hatred and tragically, more will follow.
