This obituary turns an anonymous "Muslim victim" into the portrait of an admirable, wholesome human being, whom I can eerily relate to, despite being an atheist who is weary of Islam.

I applaud that The Economist wrote this weekly obituary. It puts a crack into the us-vs them narrative that the perpetrator undoubtedly wanted to exploit by murdering Muslim worshipers.

There is no offense at this, that most people everywhere are just ordinary schmucks that suffer the world they are born into. If you were born into a world where decency comes easy you should be thankful of it. We all like to think we would rise above it but more than likely that's a mixture of hope, denial and lies we tell ourselves.

That said refugees Muslim or whatever often come because they themselves are weary of the bullshit imposed on them. And mostly these people are already victims.
