People are crying over selective humanity by west and all that "whataboutism" is going on like crazy. I agree Western media has converged more on Paris attack and Beruit has been ignored in all the outrage. And I agree Beruit tragedy is equally heart-wrenching and should be condemned with equal intensity. It's wrong if anyone thinks human lives lost in Paris are superior. I stand up for Beruit as I stand up for Paris.
But what bugs me is that Syria has been on war for last four years and ISIS has been breaking hell loose there, but Muslim facebook warriors didn't talk about it. They didn't give a shit about knowing Syria conflict. They didn't bother raising a voice for refugees and their troubles unless Humans of New York (a western blog) started a campaign and people commented and shared those pics with some oohs and ahhs. No one boycotted arabic countries for turning cold eyes on Syrian Muslims. And now today, when people are standing up for tragedy in Paris, they have suddenly waken up about Iraq, Syria and Palestine. Europe has been a part of biggest peace rally against Iraq war in 2003, making it to Guinness book of world record. How many demonstration have we seen here for Syria, Iraq, Palestine and even Pakistan? How much solidarity people show to war crimes in these Muslim countries, that are reported daily? Majority prefers to enjoy their lives but when comes a time for standing up with something happening in western world, all of sudden everyone wakes up and starts moaning about why there is no dp filter for Muslim countries. So, yes it's not Muslim ummah you care for, it's hatred of west that provoke you for this. It's just a way to shame those who care enough to stand for a carnage happening in a world which is culturally and religiously different from us. Even Muslims don't care about Muslims. They only feel insecure about west getting sympathy. This is utter hypocrisy.
