Wherever we live, we should be free to worship how we choose and gather where we choose. No religion teaches hate and violence.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4272713\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Terrorists cannot justify their barbarity by their distorted view of religion. Terrorists are criminals, nothing more. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4272714\" data-originallang=\"en\">As we mourn the victims, I find myself wishing there were easy solutions, but there are not. What we can do is ensure we do not allow these cowards to drive wedges of faith, ethnicity, or culture between us. Let us stand together to reject terror and the fear, division, and mistrust it seeks to create. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4272715\" data-originallang=\"en\">As we honour the victims of Lahore, may that be their legacy.</p>",
