A bottle of flammable liquid was hurled at one of Chicago's oldest synagogues, catching fire but not causing major damage. No one was injured in the incident early Monday at Temple Sholom of Chicago.

Chicago police and the Chicago fire department are investigating the arson as a hate crime. No one was in custody Monday.

Police officer Daniel O'Brien says the fire burned itself out and never ignited the North Side building. He says investigators are working to get surveillance equipment from the area.

Roger Rudich, president of the temple, says the arson was unsettling but not damaging.

Actually, we should probably wait for the facts to come out. It could also be some white neo-Nazi group too.

I don't understand your point. Are you against peace protesters?

and they all look down on peace makers.

I hate Illinois Nazis!

Did anyone else here get your Blues Brothers reference.

Boy, I sure would love to drive at some American Nazis on a bridge and watch them go over, and SPLASH.

Great music, and one of the best chase scenes ever!

The scene with the Rev. James Brown is my favorite.

James coulda had a second career as a preacher.

If he had, he might still be with us today.

RIP, Mr. Brown.

I would suspect some nazi jackasses first. If it was some group who claim they're 'peace' protesters, then it would most likely be those few idiots who grab on to any cause and use it as an excuse to be assholes, but claim they're doing it for a good cause.

Not all people who attend peace protests are actually peace protesters.

Anarchists, for example.

Anti-Semitism is a crime that should be severely punished!
