Don’t they know we hate this too? That we suffer too? It’s only after I say it that I realize Layla is no longer my “we.” She was not raised in a part of the world where it is no longer shocking to hear about bombs going off in cars markets mosques. Bombs going off while people are praying celebrating loving. I ask why this attack in particular is so upsetting to Americans. Why not last week in Lebanon? Or the week before in Pakistan? Layla tells me it is because this attack took place in the West.
