I thought the anchor nailed it when he spoke about the viciousness of the political debate that exists in our day and age...

using political dog whistles in order to generate anger and galvanize a group against another group will invariably lead to untended consequences.

there's no equivocation - there are fanatics everywhere, and exist regardless of their religiosity... attacking innocent people en masse in service of some deranged socio/political agenda is by definition terrorism

Politicians need to pump the brakes on this kind of inflammatory rhetoric and realize its corrosive effects on civil society.
