Relatives OR Co-religionists

You're absolutely correct, in that I said 'relatives' instead of saying 'co-religionists'. [I had begun my letter equating the two, Apache and Jew.] As a Muslim, Hasan felt a strong kinship with Muslims worldwide, Sunni and Shia. The world knows that Sunni and Shia Muslims are at each other's throats. But in this case the attackers are non-Muslims, so he saw it as a threat to all Muslims.
