"I don’t want to live in a city where everyone is viewed with suspicion by the
authorities, because it won’t stop there. Suspicion is infectious. When
misappropriated and misdirected, suspicion becomes racism and prejudice—two of
the key ingredients that led the attacks on the morning of Tuesday, March 22."
The punchline: "The terrorist’s weapon of choice is fear. When we fear them,
they have won a battle. When we start to fear each other—the woman in a
headscarf on the metro, the man with the large bag at the airport, the teenager
with his hands in his pockets—they are one step closer to winning the war.
Let’s not play into their hands."
