It's alright though because the Western powers are the good guys......apparently.
Well said. The tacit narrative is that certain innocent people's lives are worth considerably less than others.

I just watched Sky's 5pm news. 17 minutes in they spent 19 seconds reporting the IS-linked double suicide bombings in Kabul this morning which killed 80 people. If that had happened anywhere in Western Europe Sky would have had continuous coverage for hours and Kay Burley might have wet her knickers with excitement, and in the proceeding days every angle would have been used to prolong the story. Why? To instil fear by using the keywords terror, threat and Muslim at every opportunity.
