It seems that prominent Democrats, including former president Barack Obama and two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, can't bring themselves to admit that this attack was against Christians, referring to them more ambiguously as "Easter worshippers".

Scott Atran has found the greatest predictors of suicide bombings to be not religion but group dynamics: While personal humiliation does not turn out to be a motivation for those attempting to kill civilians, the perception that others with whom one feels a common bond are being humiliated can be a powerful driver for action. "Small-group dynamics involving friends and family that form the diaspora cell of brotherhood and camaraderie on which the rising tide of martyrdom actions is based".[76] Terrorists, according to Atran, are social beings influenced by social connections and values. Rather than dying "for a cause", they might be said to have died "for each other".[77] Simon Cottee in the New York Times suggested that sexual frustration is a major motivating factor in Islamist suicide bombing.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde

Why not just say attack on Christians?

@BarackObama
The attacks on tourists and Easter worshippers in Sri Lanka are an attack on humanity. On a day devoted to love, redemption, and renewal, we pray for the victims and stand with the people of Sri
Lanka.

On this holy weekend for many faiths, we must stand united against hatred and violence. I'm praying for everyone affected by today's horrific attacks on Easter worshippers and travelers in Sri Lanka.
