At worst, it's dehumanisation in practice, at best, it's naive.

I really don't think its an either or. If someone dies due to a homicide, could you really fault friends, relatives, and the local community form honoring that death even thought they may be ignoring other gun deaths that have occurred? Not honoring that death would be even more dehumanized.

Naïve? Did you pay attention to what I wrote, I know someone personally affected by what happened in Brussels. Keep talking about pointless things. Do you really believe it is worth it to waste your time about the choice of my profile pic? Fuck you all.

Enough is just enough, there is really no point for this.

ISIS is a mob with no great advantages and is going against all the countries of the world. It has so far took over about half of two weak destabilized countries. One had no conventional training for its army and the other was split between three main groups that were fighting.

Their only advantage is that a bunch of kids can "join" and go bomb the country they're in. Tell me, how will ISIS successfully defeat Iran, Saudi Arabia, Turkey , Jordan, Egypt, Algeria, Morocco, what's left of Libya, what's left of Yemen, the Gulf States, Oman, Pakistan , Afghanistan, the Taliban, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan , Georgia, Azerbajian, Lebanon, Armenia, Nargarno-Kabarhk, Israel, South Ossetia and finally Russia? How will a country with few well trained officers, a small base willing to fight, a easily cut money supply and no Air Force defeat all of those countries with that when they don't even have proper guidelines for army organization, Internal divisions for easy mobilization , and are hated nearly universally by everyone they conquer? Not to mention they would be at war non-stop and casualties would be very high due to poor training.

I get that. It's fully fine if you knew someone or were close to this, and Belgians, too. But rest of folk, what're you doing?

The rest of the world shares solidarity and condemns the terrorist attacks committed by ISIL. This is a good moment for the world nations to come together as one front and form an international coalition against ISIL. The public awareness on media is also really important to give a signal to their gouverments respectively. Thanks to social media people are aware of how cruel ISIL (muslim extremism) is and brings all people around the world together.

All lives are equally valuable and I don't think anyone can say otherwise

stop saying nonsense like this, realy only a few values all lives equally. A lot of people value there own/love ones/family/friends more then other lives. Lot of people also value lives that contribute a lot more then lives of people that want to blow themselves up in a train.

ISIS will most likely fall unless they transition into a less bloody organization, like Al-Qaida. But it might fall in 1 year, or 20 years. So far it hasn't been stopped, and there is a chance of it growing if more Arab nations destabilize. Just sitting and waiting will certainly not defeat ISIS.

You are underestimating them. While they are not a professional army, in today's age, this is not an issue, and they have a fairly formidable ground force. They will use their 30000 ground troops to take over Syria and Iraq and possible more, if we do nothing, and then fall upon the West with bombings. I saw one thing where they had 400 men ready to launch mass terror strikes on Europe and the USA. The only way to stop that is to destroy them now, so they don't have space, time, and resources to train and equip suicide bombers.

I think you misunderstood. No one doubts that people love certain people (friends, family) more than other people or strangers, but in the eyes of the law all life is valuable. Unless you disagree with this basic principle of representative democracy and human rights?

ISIS cannot "fall upon the west" when they can't defeat the conventional forces around them. They won't disentergrate when that means the near automatic defeat of the caliphate.

Unfortunately, this centrism is why there is violence at all. I'm not against loving those you know, but if everyone felt like they lost their friend whenever anyone dies in violence, then we'd have way less violence.
