To think where is the outrage to 15 British slaughtered in Tunisia

I think there was a time when the British would be outraged but are we numbing out to these atrocities now. We were outraged when ISIS started these beheadings and now we seem to be getting used to that as well.

I think we would be rightly upbraided for calling anyone non-Christian now. We used to use the term non-Catholic when I was a kid and it sounded snitty even to my childish ears. Anyhow, digression over.

Sorry if I've offended anyone with the use of non Muslim. What would you suggest instead to differentiate Muslims and er those who are not Muslims? Btw I don't normally go around defining people by their religion, or lack of it. It doesn't bother me to be referred to as non-any kind of religion.

I suppose I am a non non Muslim then.

Apologies if I have offended anybody by my use of the term.

Gosh you don't all have to apologise Smile

I mean it's a term that's used by all the media, so naturally everyone else uses it too. But if you think about it, the way it's used, it is strange.

Tolerance and apathy are not the same thing. I do think people feel very distressed and outraged by what has happened but how would you like them to express this and who should it be directed at in your opinion. What would be a constructive response to this atrocity?
