Where is the justice and fairness for my neighbors and friends in Syria, who have suffered hundreds of thousands of deaths at the hands of the Radical Islamic terrorists inside Syria, when the world mourns for at least 67 people who were killed in Nairobi?   How can 67 people in Kenya compare to over 100,000 people in Syria?   There is no comparison.   Of course, one death anywhere is too much.   However, it is actually indecent to have global riveted attention on one shopping Mall in Kenya, while an entire nation of 23 million people are being held hostage by the same Radical Islamic terrorists.

 

We, the people of the world, who make CNN and all the other global media rich and powerful by our attention to their product, must stand up and demand fairness.   If you condemn terrorism in New York City, Madrid, London, Mali, Kenya, Yemen, and elsewhere, you must condemn the same in Syria.

 

Free Syrian Army, Jibhat al Nusra and Al Qaeda are all one and the same.   They are aligned, linked and fighting shoulder to shoulder against the Syrian Arab Army and the innocent, unarmed civilian population of Syria which numbers about 23 million people.
