I'll tell you why nobody cares by Tansin A. Darcos (TDARCOS) 04/18/2013, 10:49pm PDT

How about the [Iraq bombing where] 42 people [were] killed on the same day as the Boston bombing (6 total sentences).

Or the [another mideast bombing] 27 people about an hour ago (8 whole sentences!).

Because, to put it bluntly like Mel Brooks does as the American Indian in Blazing Saddles, "They darker than us!" Or because they're considered Muslim and Muslims are less valuable than people. That's a real cynical remark, but it does represent people's opinions about the so-called "lesser people" of the Middle East.

If you think the caste system only exists in India, guess again. And it applies just as much within the Muslim community. I suspect your typical Muslim is about the same as your typical Westerner, worried about scratching a living and wanting to "tend his own garden" and hopes the world just leaves him alone to manage his affairs as best he can. While the radicals hate us Westerners ("Death to America, insha Allah"), they hate other Muslims as much as the Protestants and Catholics of Northern Ireland back in the '70s and '80s hated each other, up to and including approving wholesale slaughter as be an acceptable practice. You more-or-less have two factions in the Muslim community, Shia and Sunni, and they like each other about as much as oil and water. They can have religious differences over minor points that are so severe that we can look at them and find them laughable. At least, when it's not our own religion:
    I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump. I ran over and said: “Stop. Don’t do it.”
    “Why shouldn’t I?” he asked.
    “Well, there’s so much to live for!”
    “Like what?”
    “Are you religious?”
    “Yes.”
    I said, “Me too. Are you Christian or Buddhist?”
    “Christian.”
    “Me too. Are you Catholic or Protestant?”
    “Protestant.”
    “Me too. Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?”
    “Baptist.”
    “Wow. Me too. Are you Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church of the Lord?”
    “Baptist Church of God.”
    “Me too. Are you original Baptist Church of God, or are you Reformed Baptist Church of God?”
    “Reformed Baptist Church of God.”
    “Me too. Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1915?”
    He said, “Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1915.”
    I said, “Die, heretic scum,” and pushed him off.
And, of course, nobody likes the Jews for being Christ killers. (That's straight out of the play Fiddler on the Roof.)

I commented about the whole Mideast violence thing in my book:
    The Jews believe they are the chosen people. They also believe the Muslims are the bastard children of one of their ancestors. So if you're a Muslim, and have been told you're someone's illegitimate half-brother, who believes he's superior to you because he's been specifically chosen by God, you're probably not going to like him much. And if you're a Jew, you're not going to like that inferior, snotty little towel-headed, distant relative you want to shove in a closet much either.
    - Supervisor 246, Instrument of God
Note, these are not my opinions, but they represent how other people see religions not their own. And if you're a member of a disapproved class, you're easy pickings to be declared subhuman, and thus an acceptable target for violence or killing; the problems with the Ku Klux Klan in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries and skinheads even today bear this out. The Japanese saw the captured prisoners of World War II as a problem to be dealt with (witness the Bataan Death March) and not as human beings, the same way the U.S. Army saw the American Indians during the Trail of Tears of the 19th Century, and when you see something as a problem rather than as a human being same as yourself, then it's easy to consider it something that, if it dies off, it's a reduction of your problem.

So the fact remains that the Middle East consists of the garbage Muslims and the garbage Jews engaging in trash removal against each other, so the rest of the world just plain doesn't care as long as we don't have to clean up the mess. I said something similar on my blog seven years ago about the genocide in Darfur and how the rest of the world turned a blind eye rather than deal with it:
    To put it bluntly, and the only way I can put it is bluntly, is that the rest of the world sees the Genocide in Darfur, Sudan as "niggers killing niggers" and it's that the killings are of no significance. If the victims in Darfur were white (as was the case in Bosnia), you'd see people - and representatives of governments in Europe and elsewhere - protesting and demands for UN Peacekeepers to stop it, and very likely military intervention would take place.
