I believe the memory of those women was honored, and if so, rightly so. But the reality is that Far Right DID pounce, Mr. Ngo, and that's a story, too. One needed go no further than Twitter to see this happen.

@MrAndyNgo This incident was widely treated as if it were an indictment of all Muslims, everywhere, as opposed to merely being one of the people who committed the murders,

@MrAndyNgo This, despite the fact that the country in which they have an excellent chance of being executed for their crimes (Morocco) is, itself, a predominantly Muslim country, one in which these crimes were widely condemned.

"One Muslim speaks and acts for all" seemed to be the attitude

@MrAndyNgo That's a legitimate thing for people to talk about. The aggressive promotion of indiscriminate hatred toward an entire group of people including, in this case, the population of one of America's oldest allies, is something that merits comment.

@MrAndyNgo To try to derail that discussion by talking about the need to honor the victims, as if that hadn't already happened, strikes me as being inappropriate.

@MrAndyNgo No, I'm not going to flag your tweet and I hope nobody else will, either, but I am hoping that you'll think about what you just said and do at least a little soul searching.

@MrAndyNgo Have you become so consumed with your hate for one group with totalitarian tendencies (Antifa) that you're not only unwilling to see the signs of such tendencies in their supposed opposition, but that you want to keep anything else from noticing that they are there?

@MrAndyNgo Remember the communist mini-revolution in Bavaria that happened before the Nazis came to power?

The enemy of our enemy need not be our friend. To forget that is dangerous.

@MrAndyNgo And here is a permanently archived copy of my reply to Mr. Ngo

because I've dealt with those in the racist Alt-Right, before, and know just how hypocritical their opposition to "censorship" really is.
