With regard to David Mazza's letter he is unfairly allowing
Donald Trump to operate by double standards.
When terrorist attacks were perpetrated by Islamist extremists during
the Obama Administration, he publicly called on Obama to resign unless he cited
specifically "Radical Islamists" as responsible. I agree with Mazza that extremist violence is
unacceptable whichever source it comes from, but that is not the issue. The issue is that Trump's earlier comments
were a shameless attempt at identity politics to rally those who dislike
anything remotely connected to Islam.
His recent comments were likely tactically shaped since many of his
supporters have much in common with the terrorist in this attack.
