Where it the other Outrage?




Afghanistan politicians outraged by the moving of a presumptive killer of 16 being  moved out or the country. Muslims around the world, interestingly not here at home, are outraged at the killing of the 16 innocents. So am I. But you kknowwhat? Shit happens.
What I want to know is this: where is the Muslim outrage at Bashar Assad killing more than 8000, read that EIGHT THOUSAND innocent men women and children is Syria. All or nearly all Muslims. No outrage that I can find. And what about all the Korans that are blown up and burned in the homes shelled by the Syrian tanks? Outrage? Naw.
So what we have here is situational outrage. As long a Muslim is killing Muslims or Christians or anyone else, no outrage. But let one soldier kill one Afghani or Iraqi or any other Muslim, or accidently profane a holy book and they go berserk. Killing innocents, their own as well as ours. So it seems that the United States doesn’t hold the exclusive on Morons. We have ours (birthers or Obama causes gas prices) and they have theirs.

It is really time for the world to come together to stop the merciless killing in Syria, and the people that need to step up the the plate are the Muslim countries of the Middle East. Not us. Them.
