I’m not going to debate which acts of terrorism are worth decrying and which worth justifying.
I’m not going to compare body counts and skin colors and shooter’s names.
I’m not going to trade snarky insults or angry tirades or verbal jousts.
I’m not going to play one religion against another in ascribing culpability.
I’m not going to listen to critiques that I’ve become “too political” over something that to me is far greater than politics.
