All this ado about one attack. Western media bias at its most shameful display and the racists and atheists jumping up and down in glee. Where is your outrage about the Lebanon bombing? Somehow western lives are more valuable? Its reinforces your views that muslims are the evil incarnate. ISIS killing other muslims doesnt fit your propaganda..so safely push it under the rug so that you can paint all muslims by the example of some fanatic killers who were actually the direct result of western fuckups in the mid-east region.
But for some in Beirut, that solidarity was mixed with anguish over the fact that just one of the stricken cities — Paris — received a global outpouring of sympathy akin to the one lavished on the United States after the 9/11 attacks.
Monuments around the world lit up in the colors of the French flag; presidential speeches touted the need to defend “shared values;” Facebook offered users a one-click option to overlay their profile pictures with the French tricolor, a service not offered for the Lebanese flag. On Friday the social media giant even activated Safety Check, a feature usually reserved for natural disasters that lets people alert loved ones that they are unhurt; they had not activated it the day before for Beirut.
“When my people died, no country bothered to light up its landmarks in the colors of their flag,” Elie Fares, a Lebanese doctor, wrote on his blog. “When my people died, they did not send the world into mourning. Their death was but an irrelevant fleck along the international news cycle, something that happens in those parts of the world.”
The implication, numerous Lebanese commentators complained, was that Arab lives mattered less. Either that, or that their country — relatively calm despite the war next door — was perceived as a place where carnage is the norm, an undifferentiated corner of a basket-case region.

As Lys mentioned, nobody was outraged over the Beirut attacks, because it's just business as usual for that region. The Paris attacks got the attention they did, because it hit closer to home. Hypocritical? Yes, but I've got news for you: that's how humans work. As long as bad things happen far away, nobody cares. Rwanda genocide? Nasty business, but most people can't even point the country out on the map, it could well be on another planet for all they know. When bombs go off in the neighborhood, well, that gets people's attention.
The infuriating part is that anyone with half a brain could see this coming from a mile away. And yet instead of wiping out ISIS and stabilizing the situation to prevent thing from coming to this, western leaders just sat around with their thumbs up their ass.
Thumbs up their ass? No, your leaders are directly responsible for facilitating ISIS growth, your moral outrage is laughable.Your leaders are fine when 500,000 thousand Iraqis and over 200,000 thousand Syrians are killed as a direct result of their intervention. Your "selective" humanity absolutely undermines the credibility of your arguments. Last time, the mass cultivation of "one human is superior to another" mindset got your country absolutely wrecked.
"...there is the possibility of establishing a declared or undeclared Salafist Principality in eastern Syria (Hasaka and Der Zor), and this is
exactly what the supporting powers to the opposition want, in order to isolate the Syrian regime, which is considered the strategic depth of the Shia expansion (Iraq and Iran).”

We created Islamic extremism: Those blaming Islam for ISIS would have supported Osama bin Laden in the ’80s

Trump gets one thing damn right:
Trump repeatedly reiterated his desire to "blast the hell out of" ISIL targets and "bomb the hell out of" the terrorist group's oil resources.
"Now they're just starting to do that, but they're two years late," Trump said. "Interestingly after Paris, all of a sudden they start bombing sites that they knew about for a year and a half. But they started bombing them after the tragic events of Paris. So, so many things are wrong. We need leadership in the world now. You know, it's really a worldwide leadership, but boy, do we need leadership in our country."
I agree there is a problem in Muslim societies about Extremism, without a doubt. We need to fix it, they need to be absolutely wiped out through force and education. But that effort is undermined if you on the other hand are supporting x or y extremist elements for other political goals, I would say the priority should be to wipe these guys out first and you can do the politics later.
