In response to Tom's post, below, I notice that it's about Romans killing Christians; Mark Steyn would like to underline that our current problem is not about Romans, or pagans, but more particular. There's something to that; the Romans viewed Christians as a challenge to their state power, until they came suddenly to view Christians as a reinforcing source of new state legitimacy. Neither of those things are what is going on now.
The irony, which Wretchard points out, is that the Easter attacks are reported to have been 'retaliation' for the Christchurch attacks in New Zealand: an attack carried out by a man who was neither a Kiwi nor a Christian. "The 'Easter Worshippers,'" Wretchard writes, "are just a designated target." Round up the usual suspects, as it were.
