To have your first thought be that an act of violence is an act of terrorism that is Muslim based is, to me, very sad. I would hope that the first thoughts would go to the victims and their families. To do a post on a public forum that hints or suggests it was an act of political or religious terrorism of ANY sort without any facts is, to me, just plain wrong and frequently just continues fermenting baseless hatred and fear.
