Terrorist is pretty much by definition violent attention whore (trying to get people to notice your issue with violence.) What I always hated is that people GIVE them what they want (talking about them), which is why I brought it up. A great way to stop future terrorism is just not covering them for a week on all channels like it's the only bad thing we see in the country. Terrorists can often be traced back to have found inspiration on previous events, through social media.

Terrorists kill for their ideology! Terrorists don't give a fuck if they are on tv, as they will be dead! I mean should events like Nice and Paris be swept under the rug? 150 people dead, but who cares? We don't want to possibly inspire radicalization, so we won't speak. I'm almost laughing, because what you are saying is just the wrong thing to do!

It's rather hypocritical how you say we should 'stand up' against terrorists, and yet the Paris attack wasn't even the worst (or one of the worst) attacks to occur during that year. Giving the events a months worth of coverage along with social media spotlight does nothing but give these people the spotlight they deserve. I've visited enough extremists to know that they take advantage of these attacks to lure people in. 

 

Also, if so many people are scared about these types of attacks, why was there no outrage over the attack in Qaim where ISIS soldiers killed 300 civilians (twice as much as the Paris attack)? We are picking and choosing when to cry just to fit our agenda.
