It highlights what is going on as ISIS wages its ideological war against the world. Its barbarism is not only targeting the west; they are blowing up other Muslims at a far greater rate.
Why doesn’t our media make as much fuss about that. Are lives in Turkey and Iraq worth less?
It makes you think.
Why aren’t we hearing the Muslim voices raised in outrage at what they are doing? Or is that not being highlighted too?
What are your views?
Why concentrate on Brussels? Daesh killings of Muslims far outnumber attacks on the West

Sympathy for Brussels while Turkey gets kicked away. While the West may have issues with the Turkish government, why should that country’s people be denied our compassion?
Here’s a simple observation in the name of balance.
One person who won’t understand is the racists who tweeted that he “confronted” a Muslim on the streets and demanded that they justify the Brussels attack. When told “It’s nothing to do with me” he tweeted: “Typical mealy mouthed response.”
On Twitter, that’s like waving a red rag in front of a bull, of course.
The point is, if we can deplore casual racism on Twitter, we should also demand that our news media report the full story of Daesh terrorism, rather than a skewed narrative that encourages such sectarianism.
Agreed?
Amen! The world needs a whole lot more voices like yours, Opher. You keep shouting loud enough and sooner or later the right people in the right place at the right time are going to hear!!!
Possibly.
