As evident from my other comments I don't like CCP one bit. But while we criticize oppression, Muslim extremism which triggered this oopression shouldn't be pushed aside either.

Tibet is equally oppressed under CCP's boots for many decades now but nobody seems to be bothered.

I don't like this selective outrage of west.



My most cynical viewpoint is that it’s virtue signaling by Americans. We’re ashamed of our atrocities and it’s easy to point to this atrocity.

Maybe it’s inadvertently selective?


I don't think that is the case. Media is biased but I am not sure why Media wants to exaggarate atrocities on Muslims but convinently skips atrocities on other ethnic group mostly by the Muslim extremists.

I understand all Muslims are not involved but what stops Media from highlighting the atrocities of Muslim extemist group. Plenty of these groups exists but barely reported.

I am not sure if this is because of White guilt or Media houses are scared of Charlie Hebdo like scenario.
