Terror is the ability to strike fear in the hearts of people with one demonstrable act. During the beginnings of the modern Civil Rights Movement it took the form of bombing churches. The country was aghast at the killing of four girls in a church in Birmingham, Alabama. It is my prayer that we do not wait until there are deaths before standing up for our fellow Americans who worship the same God as Christians and Jews where their right to do so is guaranteed by the 1st Amendment to the United States Constitution.
This aggression from the ignorant must be stared down by the people of goodwill of every faith and those who are non-religious too. It is simply a question of recognizing our humanity. Let us not be silent. We could be next. They have no shame.
