Sadly you hear something similar at least once a week on TV. I'm hoping we'll hear the next atrocity will be from a Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Sikh, Jain, or Salvation Army terror group just to break the pattern of Islamist terror for a change... ;) I don't think it will though, do you?

You can tell we're becoming atrocity hardened.

No one so far expressed any specific regret for the victims, their families etc. I don't say that as a judgement, anyway I'm just as guilty, but its just an observation that we get desensitised to the regularity of these events. That is really sad, but maybe inevitable. :(

And today a 13 y/o girl who was sleeping in her bed was brutally stabbed to death in the name of Islam by a 17 y/o Palestinian terrorist in Israel...
F*cked up world.

Poor child. Her parents must be devastated. :( What did she ever do to anyone?

Being born American and Jewish is apparently enough for some.... people? Or is there another name for them?

Today's attack is at a restaurant in Dhaka, Bangladesh.  At least 20 foreigners have been taken hostage by 9 terrorists.

We've also had another one with deaths here.
Then again, I'd bet we can beat anyone else (especially if you include all the daily terrorist attacks that get foiled).  :-[

This is a horrible thread. :( I suppose it's "good" we know what the scale of things is, but it really is horrible.
