Let’s do the grim math. The death toll is already around 160. Since 9/11 is now the new metric system to which everything must be converted, let’s compare it to the size of the population. It would be equivalent to 32,000 Americans dead or more than 10 x 9/11. But since most scholars consider that in world politics a penniless third-world life (not “one of us”) is worth about 1/10 of a “western civilized nation” life (“one of us”), this attack is merely equivalent to “only” one 9/11. And obviously, whereas attacks on us are always done by “evil doers”, attacks on “them” brown skinned people are always because they “bring it upon themselves”.
