Yeah. One dead Westerner splashed all over the front pages. Dozens of Iraquis killed in a blast, happening almost daily, page 5 if that.

Not to say that this particular attack isn't deserving the attention it gets.

The problem is that the mainstream, corporate media over-hypes certain things and ignores that worthy of more concern. It is why if I ever look at the news, it is an alternative source.

A very small spill over? Is that what you call someones children being killed in a horrific act. I am fucking sick of you people trying to be politically correct, wake up and smell the fucking coffee Capnnotsoawsome.

First, you're obviously not responding to me, although you quoted me. Secondly, this is horrific. Doesn't change the fact though that it is a small spillover in relation to what's happening in the Middle East on a daily basis.

That has nothing to do with being politically correct. It's only based on facts instead of hype. To smell the real coffee, to use your own words. Muslims are the number one victims of their radicals, so any blanket statement is misplaced to use a mild word.

Well, it IS a 'very small spillover'. Just looking at Syria, best estimates are 300 000 - 400 000 deaths in five years, from Muslims killing Muslims. By comparison, the number of non-Muslims killed by Muslims is miniscule. For example the total killed in France from Charlie Hebdo, Bataclan and Nice total 226 (this isn't political correctness, just hard numbers). Mind you, this is NOT intended to belittle or make light of deaths in the West - a death is a death is a death.

Exactly.

What is happening in the middle east on a daily basis will happen and continue to happen as long as I have a hole in my arse, I'm not saying that it is all good, I am saying lets not subject our children to this shit.. It sounds a bit harsh maybe but the western world has moved on from the bullshit practices of these backward nations, and lets keep it that way..

Sh'ia muslims make up a very small percentage of Islam as a whole, and to be honest, it looks like Sunni Islam wants, for an end goal that is, a 100% conversion to their version of Islam. Further to your comment about Russia and China, there is continuing slavery over there (China) with the most vulnerable groups being Tajiks and Shi'as.

Yazidis aren't Muslim, and regardless of Sunni, Shia or whatever Muslims are the number one victims of Islamic terrorism. It's not like the Shia's haven't committed there share of terrorism against the Sunni. The whole region is Muslims killing one another. We just focus on the very small amount of spill over that happens in the west.

I don't think anyone is disputing that fact either.

I just can't fucking win. Abaris will call me a bigot in one thread for bashing on Islam or not using the right language when making fun of a Muslim ban on pokemon and now when I point out the very obvious fact that way more Muslims are killed by Islamic terrorism then westerners are and somehow I'm some politically correct liberal? Boy are you barking up the wrong tree. What, do you mourn every death on the planet? Terrorism just isn't a huge problem in the west. That's reality. Cake kills more people. Bike accidents do. Pretty much everything does. I'm not afraid of terrorism, you pussy, that's the whole point. It is an enormous problem in the middle east.

Don't sweat it, Captain, just keep on keepin' on. I don't always agree with you myself, but keep talkin', some of us are listening.
