Men’s magazine GQ was the latest to take a shot at “Gang-Green’s” backup quarterback, with a September cover story titled “Have You Accepted Tim Tebow as Your QB and Sunday Savior?” GQ, without Tebow’s knowledge, also used an altered picture of Tebow from his college days with his arms in a cross shape – sparking yet another quarterback controversy. 
 
Others have charged Tebow with hypocrisy, as when radio host Craig Carton accused Tebow of being a “fraud” who “clearly thinks he is Jesus” on his Aug. 14 show. Or attacks can simply devolve into vile displays of bigotry, as when CBSChicago.com sportswriter Dan Bernstein called Tebow “little more than an affable simpleton” and his followers “lunatic-fringe cultists” and “batspit crazy fanatics.”

Kenya church attack by MuslimsKenya Muslims 

On September 16th. This Christian church in the Majengo district of Mombasa, Kenya, was attacked by riotersKenya Muslims                                                The store room of the Salvation Army church in the Muslim district of Majengo in Mombasa, Kenya, was torched by rioters


On the Sunday morning after their church was attacked by unprovoked Muslims, forcing their pastor of the church and his injured wife and their daughter to flee, a handful of the curious and devout shuffled through the ring of police outside, through the smoke-stained entrance and gingerly around shards of glass to take seats inside. Shock filled the hushed sanctuary.
The Salvation Army church had stood in Mombasa, Kenya’s second largest city, since before the country was declared independent in 1963. Regulars said they’d always maintained neighborly relations with the impoverished Muslims who lived around them. Now that world of harmony was as shattered as the windows lying around their feet."It was as if there was a war here. Stones were flying," recalled Herbert Kaduki, an elder of the church. "They were specifically targeting us."
