Missed this comment before, so replying belatedly.

Your claim that the phrase “attacked because of their faith” shows my inability to say “because of their Christianity” is just … BRILLIANT. Really, congrats on taking SJW-like nitpicking to a whole new level.

It’s not as if I had written things like “It is quite true, of course, that National Thowheeth Jama’ath deliberately targeted Christians; the fact that several of the bombings were at churches is a clear sign of that, and in that sense it was, in part, an attack on the larger Christian community” in the very same essay.

Bravo, bravo, BRAVO!
