One of the most deadliest terrorists attacks occurred in Baghdad where more than 200 mostly Shia Muslims on Eid shopping were massacred! The murderous Wahhabi ISIS terrorist group claimed responsibility.
I want honored Friends to compare the reactions of Western leaders and media to the Paris Attacks & Baghdad Attacks as the casualty figures of the former was 200+ people killed. The hyper and show of emotions that trailed the Paris attacks is far greater than the nonchalant attitude that greeted the Baghdad attacks by Western leaders and media.
Such hypocrisy and double-standard in grading the worth-ness of human lives is embedded in Western civilization whose root should be traced to the racist nature of that civilization. And it is this racist nature of Western civilization that make these arrogant Western powers interfere in the affairs of other countries by imposing puppet leaders on them to facilitate the plunder of those countries resources and imposing Western values and standards on those countries.
It is also the embedded racism in Western civilization that inspired Western powers to commit genocides, massacres and mass-murders on indigenous populations and steal their lands after wiping out such populations. Palestine is the last remaining of such cases today.
It is important to note that Western imperialism categorized humanity into first-, second- and third- world and the value of human lives are graded as such. Africans, Asians and South Americans lives are “inferior” to the lives of Western Europeans and this is the main reason why these hegemonic powers kill and waste the lives of such natons at will. The Eastern Europeans are the second-rated categories, they are not rich enough to occupy the same position as their Western European neighbours.
The saddest thing of all is that these arrogant Western powers have arrogated to themselves the custodians of humanity, its leaders and the “international community”. And there exist gullible people in the so-called third-world countries that acknowledged this superiority complex of these arrogant imperialists and considered them as ” models” worthy of emulation.
A world view that should lead and dominate the world should not be a view that is narrow and that is embedded in racism and greedy thirst to corner the resources of developing countries. The world view that should lead the world should not be a view that is graded by race and wealth as is happening in the world today. A world view that should lead the world should be a view that treats all humanity as equal and embrace all of humanity without regard to race, tribe, religion or wealth.
We condemned the Paris attacks not because its victims were West Europeans, we condemned that cowardly attacks because its victims were humans. We also condemned the Baghdad attacks not because its victims were Shia Muslims like us, we condemned that cowardly attacks because its victims were human. The true human is the one who feels the pains of humanity without regard to race, religion, sect, tribe or nationality. This is our value and this is our civilization.
