Latest terrorist outrage

ISIS latest caper has resulted in approx 300 people dead.

Burst into a mosque, set off a bomb, then shot at people trying to escape, including incoming ambulances.

Absolutely shocking.

Strangely though, I’m not seeing #jesuisegypt trending, profile pics changed to the Egyptian flag.

Katie Hopkins and Tommy Robinson are strangely silent.

Why is that I’m wondering?

Who is Jesu?

Half the idiots that are outraged because it's fashionable haven't got a clue about the people that die daily at the hands of these wankers all over the world. Only give a **** if it's new York Paris or London.

Nor the starving millions in Yemen due to a food and medicine blockade by Saudi Arabia, in fact are the media even reporting it?

So true, add in the 50 killed in Nigeria and the 20 killed in Iraq this week and it's been a much deadlier week than the lone wolf attacks we've seen in London and New York.

It's also been under reported in the media, whilst the BBC were covering the Egypt attacks, they broke off for the Oxford Circus event. OK, it was closer to home, but it was quickly apparent it was not terror related. Didn't stop Radio 5 devoting the remainder of their news hour talking to people who were crying but saw/heard nothing.

Last month's attack in Mogadishu killed 350 people. News coverage, scant.

They’ve been waging their own war for 3 years mate. On one hand we have people getting outraged because Britain involve themselves in troubles over that part of the world, and now we have the same people getting outraged because British people are not as outraged about attack’s over there than they are in this country?!?!

Shock horror. Radio station gives priority to news in its own country.

That last sentence..

Scary how often these types of things are happening in African countries.
Quite a lot is reported on Reddit, I've not read a newspaper or watched the news for so long I can't remember.

If the media reported on every single terrorist incident then we'd hear about nothing else. There are practically daily attacks in areas where it's expected daily so sadly isn't really "news" anymore. This incident was more ferocious than usual hence why we're hearing about it.

The reason people go crazier if it happens closer to home is because it's not only more newsworthy to them but also because it's not expected to happen around here. I understand why the media and people react more when it happens here but I'd also encourage them to acknowledge that it happens a lot in other parts of the world, hence why I've never changed my avatar to a French or Belgian or German flag. That gets tiresome really quickly.

The changing of avatars is a load of bollox, like most social media.

Great post by the way.

Agree there would be nothing else in the news, we would have tens of stories a week.
It's the Facebook profile change/Twitter hashtag pricks that I dislike. Put a lovely picture of a word quote on Instagram "to show I care" people are just desperate as they fall over to show they care more than the next idiot.

Or 'virtue-signalling' people to use the parlance of our times. I had similar issues when these overnight humanitarians started popping up all over FB after the government voted to start bombing Syria a couple of years ago. Syria was being bombed for months before we got involved by other Western nations, but these bellends didn't mention it once, but all of a sudden it becomes "terrible" as soon as we start to get involved.

That, and seeing some weedy prune interviewed on the news who was involved in a "lie down" protest outside the Houses of Parliament as the vote was taking place. He was the typical spineless sheltered "liberal" type who claimed that "we don't live in a real democracy anymore" and that the UK is tantamount to a fascist state. I'd love to know how he'd get on in North Korea....

Pathetic isn't it. UK citizens organising themselves to protest against the actions of the UK government. They don't deserve to show themselves on the streets unless they can prove they've been tortured by the North Korean secret police. Great post!

Thanks ;) I don't have a problem with people protesting on the street if they don't cause damage or harm to others, but I do have a problem with people's skewed perspectives on things. Describing the UK as a "fascist state" is an insult to those that have lived and died under actual fascism.

There is still a lot of information that may possibly come out in the wash regarding Syria.

There is a good documentary on Afghanistan on Netflix. The US and Russia have fought there for years..before that us and the Russians..
The whole Syria thing bugs me too, I'm not very informed on it all in all honesty, but the way people harp on about it for internet karma is shallow as ****.

They're still human beings being killed, what difference does it make what religion they are. 300 muslims were murdered in a mosque, that should show us the terrorists aren't doing it based on religion but hate.

The sooner we stop being letting the media dividing us and focus more on people who are terrorists and people who aren't the better.

I wondered when Lily Allen would show up on this thread

Point out anything wrong with what I said, or would you rather stick to ad hominem attacks to try and justify your own ignorant stance?

I’m sorry if me caring more about what’s happening close to home, and the safety of my family, rather than others from a country thousands of miles away offends you Lily.

Do you think in Egypt, Nigeria.etc they care just as much about the atrocities in the UK than they do about their own country?
