A Very Good Question

The questions raised by Fr James Martin SJ in the tweet below are worth an answer, but that would require some folks to embrace a mind-shift to recognise that acts of terror and violence are not only perpetrated by ‘the Other’.

If this man was from a foreign country, was a refugee, or was a Muslim, we would be hearing a different interpretation of his crimes. Why is it not terrorism if it's a white person? How are multiple bombings not an act of terror? Plus, how is his virulent homophobia not hate? https://t.co/MhqWEChBrF
