Stand united against terrorism

To the editor:
Why were President Barack Obama and his Attorney General Eric Holder quick to condemn the injured policeman in Ferguson, Mo., before the facts were revealed?
This resulted in riots around the country which tragically led to the death of two wonderful policemen - a Hispanic and an Asian - in New York City.
And yet, the president not only did not join world leaders in the march of solidarity and defiance against terror and for free speech in Paris, but he refuses to use the term 'radical Islamic terror.”
Is he afraid to use this term? Why? The group is today's world's greatest threat.
