I find it interesting to see the different response to a terror attack in Pakistan vs somewhere else.
Like, I don't mean to shit on anybody, but the general style of reply with memes and shit shows people don't care.

That's pretty sad.

This. It's like that time when around 10 cops were gunned down in Chicago, everyone went mental but when 7 times the amount died in a country that isn't America, people seem to care less.

Honestly, not that this stuff isn't good. I think it's horrible that things like this happen but..

I'm honestly not surprised that many people seem to not take notice because the middle east has practically been a warzone since the 90s and what happens in a warzone? People die. They're dying daily over there and it's been happening for so long now we're simply use to it. I mean I don't know about you guys but for me my whole life I've been hearing fatalities about people dying in places like Iraq or Syria and so on. I'm rather use to it by now.

However in the US or other Western countries, it's not a warzone. There's not tanks running around firing into buildings or extremists blowing up homes and churches and hospitals. I mean they do happen but it's rare, and it's such a big deal here because of that. They simply don't happen here. However in the middle east and other war-torn places it's not very surprising.

Mohammed once said: There will people come with a black flag saying they came from Mohammed but dont belive them. Scheytan "satan/evil" sended them.

it is because EU/US news that stuff or take actions since ISIS managed to even attack in the EU and maybe in the UK cause of france and stuff like that happend in the past in the old times yes it was an warzone but people didnt care cause it never effected them but since ISIS and terrorist groups started to attack EU/US people finaly started to do actions against them but what happens ? Russia bombs Syrian the hole fucking time killing civilians working alongside Assad Regie killing childrens who have a life awaiting them and he even starts to fire fucking fire rockets ffs this world man

TBH I'm not in any favor with the Syrian civil war. One is a corrupt fucked up regime while the other is practically made up of the same terrorist organizations we're fighting.

I honestly have no idea why we're even arming them.

Except... Pakistan isn't the Middle East. It's considered South Asia. And it's not at war. Just because the people are brown doesn't mean their country is conflicted. Pakistan has its issues but it's not in the midst of a civil war, which supposedly nullifies the reaction to a bombing.
So now what?

[Zombie]

"Just because the people are brown doesn't mean their country is conflicted." Well no one body ever mentioned about brown people until you mention it so it was unnecessary to say it.

Terrorism in Pakistan is not unusual, it's in fact of one the most dangerous countries in the world according to Global Peace Index due of poverty, corruption, illiteracy, extremism and terrorism. Pakistan is involved in War in North-West Pakistan aka War in  Waziristan, It does have 1500 terrorist attacks per year by outgoing extremist groups in the country and the authorities are taking actions against them since 2004.

Middle East and South Asia regions are always in conflict & wars for thousands of years, history proves it so I'm not suprised about it at all. So I definitly agree with Preditor, in a warzone people will suffer and die no matter which action you are taking in a warzone because there will always be consequences. People needs to accept reality.

I'm not one for politics, but the way I see it is if you carry on arming them it will be the Afghan civil war all over again.

So now what?

In 2009 over 3 thousand people died in Pakistan alone from terrorism. They don't have to be in the middle east and I'm not judging it just because they are brown. The country is filled with many terrorist organizations and other warbands of extremists. Also you don't have to have uniformed military presence for it to be considered a warzone. 

Pakistan holds many terrorists, here's a good example I think everyone knows:


As I said before, when it is extremely common you expect it, Pakistan may not be considered in the middle east but it has the same problems.

I understand your point, but still have to disagree. Pakistan does host terrorist groups, that's true. But it's nowhere near the same thing that's happening as in Syria, Iraq, or Afghanistan.
There aren't flocks of Pakistani refugees. There's no foreign intervention from the West bombing military targets (and subsequential civilian spots in the name of collateral damage). There is still a government which is not in the hands of extremist groups officially. Life continues much as normal.

In this regard I don't think Pakistan is a warzone. Warzone implies two... warring parties. There's certainly extremists being assholes over there, but until there's response (such as what India is currently on the verge of doing) and we get some Positive Feedback loops, it's just a country with issues which would make international headlines if it were Western.

For now it seems like people have given up on it already.

Of course it would since those "issues" are not very common in Western countries. I do believe that most of us on this forum are raised in a Western culture so when anything happens in a Western country it is easier to relate and to be honest most of the attacks are carried out by muslims which of course gets more attention from the people in Western civilizations for obvious reason.
