"Attack, pause, mourn, carry on: The cycle of terror has become routine".

No, that is not how it goes.

In the Globe and Mail it goes like this:

Attack, 
pause,
put "comments closed" labels on all the first news reports,
get a set of Muslim writers to write the first opinion columns, 
eventually open up the boards to comments,
hope that the prominent posts are along the lines of "all religions are evil and dangerous, but let me list out and emphasize the awful things Christians have done",
censor away posts that go beyond that pan-religion all-religions-are-evil line,
draw attention to the need for better mental health care in society,
find and publicize some reports of anti-Muslim hate attacks in Canada, the West, anywhere,
print a couple more article about "The Handmaid's Tale" with imagery of Trump leading a fundamentalist Christian war on women,
mourn, 
carry on.
