I agree. I’m seeing some reports come up on Twitter saying this was near the UN office.

Let’s not get on our high horse and paint, with a broad brush, a peaceful religion just because of the violent actions of a few...hundred...million.

The latest from ABC is 3 suicide bombers hit a Starbucks, I heard all of the other reports, some said a mall hit, others the UN hit. But this is the latest.
