2 weeks 8 attacks 247 victims

All in the name of some extremist religion. Where is love and peace?

While extremist attacks in the Western world are put all over the media and people find it “horrible”, many others in some far-away country are killed, with few thinking too much about it. The articles here tried to paint a picture of some whose life was taken away for no reason.

160727-terrorvictims

The pace and scope of the killing are dizzying. Some 300 members of families blown apart by bombs as they celebrated the end of Ramadan in Baghdad. Forty-nine dead at the Istanbul airport, 40 more in Afghanistan. Nine Italians, seven Japanese, three students at American universities and one local woman brutalized in the diplomatic quarter of Dhaka, Bangladesh. The bodies piled up on a bus in Somalia, at a mosque and video club in Cameroon, at a shrine in Saudi Arabia.
All that carnage was in a single week — a single week of summer in what feels like an endless stream of terror attacks. Orlando and Beirut. Paris and Nice and St. Etienne-du-Rouvray, France. Germany and Japan and Egypt. Each bomb or bullet tearing holes in homes and communities.

Also incredible this picture of the “World’s biggest cemetery”: Najaf, Iraq, with more than five million people buried there, the majority being Shia Muslims, many recent victims of IS. Again mostly Muslims killing Muslims.

Now who are the real “infidels”?
