The Most Equal Comrade, in his remarks on the Orlando massacre, could not bring himself to say the word "Muslim" but, as you'll see at 3:39 in the linked video, made sure to bring gun policy into the proceedings.
The religion of peace has been busy elsewhere in the world as well. In southwestern Bangladesh, a Hindu priest was hacked to death by ISIS on Thursday, and in Afghanistan, a 21-year-old man had his eyes ripped out and then was skinned alive by the Taliban.
All cultures are not morally equal.
