Thanks guys!
When the army mounted an attack in the Bataclan, they walked on dead bodies everywhere.
2 kamikazes next to the Stade de France blow up themselves.
3 others shoot down a lot of people in the north of Paris.

My dad just said they might come to us. Running.

 

I hope everyone in Paris, Baghdad, Lebanon, Mexico, and Japan are all safe... What a Friday the 13th. :/

 

Thoughts go out to all the people in Paris and Japan

 

More than 100 dead there.

 

13th. WHAT DID YOU DO JAMES HARDEN?!?!

 

I heard, and it's still not over :c

 

Great, once everyone starts to chill down with the Islamophobia, here it goes again. These people are not Muslim, not even close. Murder is a sin in Islam, and these people should not be affiliated with the 1.6 billion Muslims in the world. Dumb journalists from Fox News and CNN are going to start putting debates about Islam promoting violence (oh wait, they already did).

 

I believe they use Islam to cover their selfish motivations. It makes me sick! I hope the world can be a place of peace for everyone to live. I agree with @SpookyAudi ~Please cherish every moment that we have~ Life is precious!

 

I'm sorry for all those who died, the families who lost loved ones, and friends. Rest in Peace, you will not die in vein for one day both terrorism and wars will be over and the world will be at peace.

What a terrible Friday the 13th. I pray for those in Paris and those in Japan. :c

 

Why is it, when a European country is attacked or when America is attacked we are horrified and make lots of threads and posts about the tragedy but we don't seem to even mention the daily massacres/suicide bombings that take place in Iraq or the gang rapes of lower caste women in India? Why is it, when white people die there is an international outcry, but when black people or muslim people die we say "that's horrible" and go on eating our dinners? Whether you like it or not it's true. In the 1990's President Clinton sent troops to Rwanda, which was in the midst of a genocide that eventually killed 900,000 Hutu's and Tutsui's (the two main ethnic groups of Rwanda) not to stop the killing, but to make sure all the Americans in the country were safely evacuated.

What makes me sick about these attacks is how when white people die suddenly its a humanitarian crisis that gets full media coverage and support. But when black, latino, or especially muslims die it's listed as "just another shooting" or "yet another suicide bombing" or "another fight between rival drug gangs". What I cannot understand is why there aren't hashtags about those. I don't understand why I don't even think about them too often, and when I do its in a superficial context. Why is it that ISIS is now such an accepted part of the middle east that people make jokes pertaining to it? Are we so far removed from the pain these people experience nearly every day of their lives that its simply hard for us to care anymore?

Don't get me wrong I'm not being self righteous. But it's attacks like these and the reaction to them that deeply disturb me since they make me wonder why I value the life of a dead Frenchman or a Congolese kid whose belly is swollen with worms less than that of my fellow Brits or white Americans.

This latest attack is terrible. But so are all the others that take place daily in far more chaotic and less privileged parts of the world. So here's a few more hashtags:

#PrayForHaiti #PrayForVietnam #PrayForMyanmar #PrayForIraq #PrayForTibet #PrayForPalestine #PrayForCongo #PrayForSouthAfrica #PrayForRwanda

Pray for the perpetrators of these massacres too for they know not what they do. Pray for their families. Pray for their children, if they have them. Pray that they may have a better life than their father, husband, or relation did. Pray for them so that they may be able to live in stability and not be the victim of proxy wars started by more powerful nations created to exploit weaker ones.

Muslims, Latinos, Jews, Africans, they are all entitled to the same lives we are. They should not have to live in violence, and experience mass killings almost every day or every week.

And neither should the people of Paris.
