The sentiments in the email are actually reasonable enough from someone in Podesta’s position. If you want a peaceful, multi-religious society(as Podesta does) then Islamists going on a rampage is NOT good news. I think we should be adult enough to acknowledge that fact. I think the problem I see here is the double standards on race and religion. A rightwinger spouting sentiment about “hoping its a muslim inspired attack not a domestic inspired attack” would be pilloried. I think it also shows the tendency for liberals to downplay Islamic terrorism, but we already knew that. They will continue to downplay Islam’s threat to the West in general. That’s why the Orlando attack was spun to be a hate crime against the lgbt community NOT an attack against Western values.
HUH?
