Selective condemnation

"The United States condemns the attack on the mosque in Yasuf in the strongest terms and calls for the perpetrators to be brought to justice."

The above statement was issued by the U.S. State Department in reaction to the attack on a mosque. Certainly, the attack on a religious place of worship was wrong.
However, could someone point me to the statement issued after the torching of a church in New York this week?

A former Bronx synagogue that was turned into a church was torched by assailants who smeared Satanic graffiti on its walls.
...More than 100 firefighters were called to the scene at about 4 a.m. Wednesday, just before morning prayers at 5:30 a.m.
...The arsonists painted upside-down crosses and a pentagram – a five-point star surrounded by a "666," which the pastor said were meant to represent Satanic evil.
Elsewhere, they scrawled "Crip Kill" – referring to the name of the street gang, the Crips – and "We hate Jews and Christians."
...The congregation had a clothing outreach and a soup kitchen set up with a donation from the late Yankees broadcaster Bobby Murcer. It also had prepared Christmas gifts for children in the Parkchester area, and medicines to send to Africa.
