I guess 41 slaughtered kids must be a yawn for you then. So what make you raise your eyebrow or even rage?
400 kids, 4 000....?
To think that people like you really exist is scary.
How do you think people die from our ordnance? They are blasted by concussion, punctured by shrapnel and burned by the heat of the explosion.
Focusing on one school house is what you are doing. Thats scary. Because your solution is to bomb everyone around there. Hopefully you'll hit someone responsible. But if not who cares about collateral damage in "non combatants"? Whats next, a No fly zone?
See how this incident is painted. In the school house its all about, "The Children".
When we bomb a whole village, its about (ahem) "collateral damage".
Case in point. How did this village die?
RT, also known as Russia Today, is an international multilingual Russian-based television network. It is registered as an autonomous non-profit organization[2][3] funded by the federal budget of Russia through the Federal Agency on Press and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation.[4][5]
The creation of Russia Today was a part of a larger effort by the Kremlin intended to improve the image of Russia abroad.[15] RT was conceived by former media minister Mikhail Lesin,[16] and Vladimir Putin’s press spokesperson Aleksei Gromov.[17] At the time of RT’s founding RIA Novosti director Svetlana Mironyuk stated: "Unfortunately, at the level of mass consciousness in the West, Russia is associated with three words: communism, snow and poverty," and added "We would like to present a more complete picture of life in our country."[16]
'm not ignoring anything. I'm wondering why you are, by creatively pointing to other things which should divert or dilute our outrage about THIS atrocity that THIS thread is about.
back black slaves and sold them around the world on their way back from dropping off white peasants in places they weren't from.
Because whenever someone starts crying "Muslim Atrocity" I know what that usually leads too.
"They're killing their people, they're killing their people!" That slippery slope has been used on several occasions to invade and subjugate a number of nations recently? It always begins like this.
Especially when its "The Children". "Defend the Children!" Its a biased media campaign to ramp up a call to invade in order to protect the children. And that makes me nervous.
Of course any comparison I make to other similar recent events is dismissed or off topic?
You wouldn't want to bury the past would you? So we repeat the same mistakes? I mean, I know these are not random occurrences, there is a design behind such anti Islamic rhetoric in the western media in general.

Not really sure why you put more trust in RT than in American media given this:

It stops short of being a remake of Pravda Ru...well, maybe in the modern realm of Russia, it is sort of like NPR radio.
There is a reason why publicly funded media is considered less autonomous than privately owned broadcast stations.
Nevertheless, no reason to see this report as more slanted than if it came from CNN.
And for a change it isn't a report intending to vilify gun owners in America.edit on 7-7-2013 by ThirdEyeofHorus because: (no reason given)
You go thunk on that before you try to scare us with that ol russkie damn commie, red soviets trying to defile our pure american hearts LOL Wake up..this is 2013 not 1963
So religion is certainly relevant to this story.
Should 41 being burned alive in Nigeria be of less value for news coverage and consideration? (To look at this another way)

You guys don't make a fuss about that because it was a "military target".

this is the problem: even the obama decisions appear to be driven by extremist islam out of saudi and to their benefit, installing the mb everywhere or even more radical versions.. think of how diabolical that is: they use our military in the usa, to blow up fellow muslims of a different sect, all while pretending to blow up extremists and all while pretending to do so as a "christian nation under a christian president". then install a version of islam that is beholden only to saudi arabia. then when people complain about extremist islam crimes, point out the crimes of the usa against the muslims. it's like---holy toledo, diabolical.

Think what we could accomplish if the Muslims, Christians and others could produce a common declaration of principles. A new common testament that dumps the cultural pollution that came with the original texts. If there was a god and he spoke through prophets he was using the tools at hand. Burdened as they were with their cultural prejudice.
You're sounding a bit extreme about this and I'm not entirely kidding. Are you okay? I mean you're old enough to have been through the Somalia campaign if not the Ethiopia one before it.
