Dear Paris, your 13/11 is our 24/7

“My name is XYZ, I belong to ABC country and I condemn the terrorist attacks in Paris. #PrayForParis”, you must have come across many such statements while going through your news feed these days. Or, you must have seen those French flag filtered display pictures of your friends on Facebook which they have put up to show their support for Paris.

I, too, stand with Paris in this regard, but I have not put up a DP or a status to show solidarity with them. I do not understand why people have suddenly grown so concerned over this issue when such incidents happen almost every day in Pakistan and other countries like Syria, Iraq, and Palestine.

Facebook wanted me to change my DP to the French filtered flag today and I was wondering why. Did it introduce Pakistani filtered flags on the 16 December incident of the terrorist attack on a children school where they brutally killed 150 people including 133 children? Why did the world community not care as much?

Are we children of a lesser God?

Dear people, the Paris incident of 13/11 is Pakistan’s 24/7. I am not saying not to support Paris but why not care for the whole world. Justice; Equality; World Peace!
