ND Expert: Paris attacks lead to misbegotten retaliation against migrants and law-abiding Muslims

R. Scott Appleby, the Marilyn Keough Dean of the University of Notre Dame’s new Keough School of Global Affairs, says...

"Unfortunately the Paris attacks have already led to misbegotten "retaliation" against migrants and especially against ordinary Muslims. In the end this failure of the public to observe the necessary distinction between decent, law abiding Muslims and blameless refugees, on the one hand, and the terrorists who distort their beliefs and practices while also targeting them with indiscriminate violence, on the other, is a failure of educators and journalists."
