"The holiest day of the Christian calendar turned to tragedy on Sunday in Sri Lanka. In a series of coordinated attacks, suicide bombers struck three Catholic Churches, as well as hotels in cities across the country. At least 300 people were murdered, hundreds more were wounded.
Sri Lankan authorities say the attackers were affiliated with a local terror group. The attackers were radical Muslims. Their motives were religious. Their targets were Christians. None of that is speculation; it is true. And maybe because it is so true and so obviously true, nobody in authority wanted to say it out loud.
So instead, they went to great lengths to avoid the clear language. "The attacks on tourists and Easter worshipers in Sri Lanka are an attack on humanity," tweeted former President Barack Obama. Hillary Clinton used the same awkward phrase: "I am praying for everyone affected by today's horrific attack on Easter worshipers and travelers in Sri Lanka."
