Compassion fatigue? Depends who's asking : Comments

By Joseph Wakim, published 25/11/2015

Was the global sympathy for the 129 innocent victims of the Paris terrorism 'racist' because it was not extended to the 43 equally innocent victims of the Beirut terrorism a day prior?

Hasbeen I know exactly what you mean, and yes we are, as a nation, permitting people incompatible with our way of life, to live here, to I believe, our long term detriment.

I do however believe western people no longer empathise as much as we may have, probably something to do with our culture, particularly the young with their propensity to sit behind a screen and play graphic violent games and TV programs which promote the subjugation and killing of people other than Caucasian.

If Muslims are happy to kill Muslims I guess we can understand why to some degree and as such, we tend not to care overly.

When any violence affects westerners, of course we sit up and listen, this I believe is in our nature and is not racism per se, we are all different, and a simple reason people of different races, religions etc do not always live well together.

Multiculturalism has not served anyone well in any country where it has been policy in some cases, it's simple, we are different, and many people fear this, often for good reason.

Loudmouth, We must stand together with ALL NON Muslims around the world when they condemn unequivocally this filthy religion, and line up in their thousands, in their tens of thousands, to fight it.

plantagenet, sort of true, but the real issue is that the left wing media DO get ALL that stuff from their international colleagues & CHOOSE not to report it because they don't want us to know how bad islam really is. They don't want us to know how bad the growing islamic threat at home really is.

Geoff of Perth, so true.

Rhian, garbage dear, the left wing media CHOOSE not to report it, in order to keep us ignorant about islam. We became rather inured to the atrocities committed in the Yugoslav wars, for example, because they were inflicted on, and committed by, people “NOT like us”.

Hasbeen, actually you & Geoff of Perth are both right. The 1% ruling, left wing elites encouraged muslims to commit terrorism & imported them as well, so that we could live in 1984 instead of simply deporting them.

Loudmouth, so you admit that left wing multi-CULT-uralism is the cause of terrorism.

Geoff of Perth, we might care IF we knew, but the 1% ruling, left wing elites who control the lame stream media don't report it.

Hi Imamoderatecentrist,

No, I deliberately, explicitly and consciously meant that "We must stand together with Muslims around the world when they condemn unequivocally this filthy distortion of their religion, and line up in their thousands, in their tens of thousands, to fight it."

When Muslims unequivocally condemn this Islamo-fascism, we must be ready to immediately and strongly support them. They have a heavy cross to bear, and non-Muslims are essentially witnesses, bystanders, including those who are the victims of Islamo-fascism.

I take for granted that the billions of non-Muslims around the world, as bystanders and witnesses, would support any efforts to crush the Islamists like the cockroaches they are.

But I suspect that Islam will throw up (an appropriate phrase) ideologies of this sort for a long time to come, as its adherents struggle to come to terms with the rest of the world, and abandon any notion of dominating it. I firmly believe that one day, perhaps when I'm long gone, the Islamic world will be able to make major contributions for the benefit of the rest of the world, and, of course, vice versa.

Loudmouth, have you studied any islamic scriptures? The #1 leader of ISIS had 4 or 5 degrees in islamic studies from one of the most prestigious universities in the muslim world.

Q, Who are you to say he is interpreting islamic scriptures wrong? A, the sad, ugly, awkward, inconvenient truth is that islamo-stalinism is actually GOOD islam & ALL muslims not killing us are the bad or lazy muslims.

start with:- http://thestoryofmohammed.blogspot.com.au/ then try reading the Quran in chronological order.

Hi imacentristmoderate,

Yes, of course, I've pointed that out myself on several occasions: ISIS is applying, and not even selectively, the main tenets of Islam.

I'm suggesting that, in order to get out of this quagmire, many Muslims may have to question some of those basic tenets, and I'm privately confident that many are doing just that, that many are questioning whether the beheading and shooting and burning of innocent people, the rape, enslavement and murder of so many others, is what they really want to support, regardless of what some hot-shot kadi or emir or imam with five degrees says.

And when they do that, they deserve our full support. This is a long, ideological dilemma for Muslims to join the modern world, which they fully entitled to do. After all, they are in it: they're not out in the desert in the seventh century, they are here, now, and entitled to hare - and contribute to - the benefits of this booming, buzzing, confusing, maddening, world, with the rest of us.

Loudmouth, i here where you are coming from but islam cannot be reformed or become enlightened. What muslims need to do is convert to Christianity or Judaism.
