Envelopes With White Powder Sent to Mormon Temples

Gee, I wonder who did this?

LOS ANGELES - Letters containing a suspicious white powder were sent Thursday to Mormon temples in Los Angeles and Salt Lake City that were the sites of protests against the church's support of California's gay marriage ban.

The temple in the Westwood area of Los Angeles was evacuated before a hazardous materials crew determined the envelope's contents were not toxic, said FBI spokesman Jason Pack.

The temple in downtown Salt Lake City, where the church is based, received a similar envelope containing a white powder that spilled onto a clerk's hand.

The room was decontaminated and the envelope taken by the FBI for testing. The clerk showed no signs of illness, but the scare shut down a building at Temple Square for more than an hour, said Scott Freitag, a spokesman for the Salt Lake City Fire Department.

Gay activists have declared war on the Mormon Church because of the work the church and its members did in the fight over Proposition 8. Somebody needs to smack these people upside the head and tell them they are not helping their cause. If they hope to pass their own amendment in the future, they won't be able to do it by showing Californians they're a bunch of emotionally immature idiots.
