Base, America doesn't make a big deal when white Christians kill other white Christians. Heck they aren't going to make a big deal about the black dude who killed those 8 people yesterday either. You wouldn't find any mass outpouring of support or grief. They reserve those responses for only when Muslims commit similar acts. They are too obsessed with Muslims. If they were smarter, they would scale back on all the ceremonies when Muslims commit similar acts because if the argument is that Muslims are looking for attention they are getting it from Americans' responses. My guess is their obsession gets in their way,

This is true in any society, even Guyana.  Indian on Indian or Black on Black violence are non-news.  But when it crosses race/religion lines, it's a big halabalu.

If this incident did not involve couple Muslims, it would have been local news!

My point exactly. If we were smarter, we would downplay the incidents rather than turn them into large ceremonial spectacles. This would piss off the terrorists that we are not losing sleep over their actions. If their actions aren't causing us grief, they would not have any incentive for committing them. Then we quietly seek them out and give then a quick passage to hell.

But I don't think we care for that approach. Being obsessed with Muslims is too insatiable for many to forego. We crave for it too much and to our own detriment. And because we crave it so much, the terrorists are willing to oblige.
