The danger of blame | Editorial

It didn’t take long after the Boston Marathon attack for some people to blame Muslims. But blaming Muslims for the attack at the Boston Marathon makes no more sense than blaming Christians for the bombings and killings by white supremists.

 

It didn’t take long after the Boston Marathon attack for some people to blame Muslims. After all, the attack had all the characteristcs of devices used by terrorists who give themselves that name.

But blaming Muslims for the attack at the Boston Marathon makes no more sense than blaming Christians for the bombings and killings by white supremists. Radicals exist in every movement and religion.

Muslim leaders and organizations have condemned the bombings and killings.

All right-thinking people – of every faith – mourn this tragedy.
