    I thought you'd have a better grasp of your own troubles.

    The troubles with the IRA is primarly because the UK or England has taken control of Ulster.

    Although Prots and Catholics do have some hatred towards one another there, it has been primarly a POLITICAL fight. Not a religious fight.

    As I've mentioned before, there has been only an insignificant number of dead with the Irish problem over the IRA fight. Compare that to some 200,000 dead from the fight in Syria alone in last year.

    Yes, my point exactly. But my above post shows the Irish/IRA fight pales to insignificance compared to the Syrian Civil War of late.

    "Insignificant" to whom? Just one death at the hands of terrorists is monumentally significant to those left behind to mourn their loss. This is not a numbers game, nor one of percentages, irrespective of the dramatic effect you're attempting.

    The word is 'amok' and the rest of your post is unintelligible.

    One soldier was murdered by a lunatic.
    Are you still gassing people and botching executions by electric chair-while we're on the subject of barbarism? I know what is important, do you?

    Indeed. One component is almost certainly racism and not, as others have claimed, necessarily geography. If the latter was the case, then the attack in Sydney would not have garnered the amount of media attention it did.

    Apparently in excess of a million Nigerian's have been uprooted by medieval savages. On the day and ensuing days of the Paris attacks, hundreds of men, women and children had been butchered to death with machetes and their homes raised to the ground.

    Yet following the deaths of a dozen people in Paris by a handful of criminal psychopaths acting independently of ISIS but inspired by them (if we accept most of the official narrative), page after page in the mainstream media here in the UK have been full to the brim about Charlie Hebdo.

    As you infer, as far as the media are concerned, there are worthy and unworthy victims that are normally designated as such depending on the extent to which particular stories are deemed the most useful to Western power. This reasoning, to a very large extent, explains why the attacks in Paris conform to the former designation, while the mass killings in Nigeria conform to the latter.

    Brutality and death is to be expected in civil war and not expected in the publication of newspapers or dinning in cafes.
