But at the same time, he wasn't taking away from the tragedy that this has become.

Yeah I agree with this. I don't think Afzal was trying to lessen the right of non-Muslims who suffered or perished in this disaster at all.
As much as one tries to empathise with everyone, it's human nature to think of your family and loved ones first and above others. Afzal was concerned about his family members who are in Burma. Naturally they would be Muslim.
