Social media is an absolute toilet after things like this.

Even worse are the Grief Olympics hipsters who post "I don't see you posting about [earlier tragedy with browner people that they wouldn't be talking about either if there wasn't a chance to be sanctimonious]!!!!"

Watch less shit news then.

Helps the Russians are basically just carpet bombing the fuck outta the joint. :lol:

Not just stopped it with the hashtags, we changed our facebook profile pictures with the backgrounds of the French and Belgian flags.

That showed them!!!!

terrible terrible stuff. IS scum deserve the worst this universe can inflict. in some better news, they're losing ground in palmyra. you don't hear much about it in the news though as it's the SAA allied with hezbollah doing the damage.

You stopped terrorism with your hashtags #RespectFromTheRBB

you don't hear much about it in the news though

A lot of people on face have been complaining about the lack of worldwide outrage over this attack.

What these idiots forget is that it's such a regular occurrence in these shitholes that no one bats an eyelid anymore.

This is a horrific incident as it always is. Humanity needs to brutally suppress extremism instead of looking for excuses to explain it.

This is clearly the West's fault for bringing their haram game to Iraq. #NoSoccerNoSuicide #PrayForIraq

Religion aside it's still the norm. As you say Sunni's attack Sunni's and so on and so forth. While it does not diminish the horrible nature of these attacks, we're so desensitised to violence in these regions.

It hits a lot harder when it's France or Belgium because they're seen as safe and much the same as us. I guess we fear it could happen to us any day when we see it happen to peaceful European cities.

+!.
Its part of society in the Middle East....when you have a religion that incites violence then why is anyone surprised...
To put it in perspective what goes on in the Middle East is like the IRA - Protestant conflict...except 100 times worse because you have more sides...ie Shia, Sunni...and even if they are within the same faction there are splinter groups and sub groups and it just becomes too much of a shitfight in the end for anyone to even think peace is possible.

Its only the Left that think peace is possible over there...whilst they are dreaming up their hashtags in their sleep and sipping on their chai lattes during the day.

[size=7]Iraq suicide attack: 30 killed at football match south of Baghdad[/size]


The Islamic State (IS) militant group claimed responsibility for the attack that wreaked carnage on the field where supporters, officials and security forces were gathered after the game.

"They were just handing the trophy to the winners, the suicide attacker blew himself up in the crowd," a police captain from the village, Al-Asriya, told news agency AFP.

The village is near Iskandariyah, a town about 40 kilometres south of Baghdad.

The police captain said more than 65 people were also wounded in the blast.

A medic at Iskandariyah hospital confirmed the toll and warned it could rise further.

Pictures posted on social media of the site of the blast showed mangled goal posts smeared with blood.

"The suicide bomber cut through the crowd to approach the centre of the gathering and blew himself up as the mayor was presenting awards to the players," 18-year-old witness Ali Nashmi said.

The mayor, Ahmed Shaker, was among the dead.

"The mayor died in hospital as a result of the serious wounds he suffered in the blast," the medic said, adding that one of his bodyguards and at least five members of the security forces were also among those killed.

The jihadist IS group promptly released a statement on social media claiming responsibility for the attack and posting a picture of the purported bomber, who has been named as Saifullah al-Ansari.

Haidar Kadhem, 20, survived the explosion.

"I was maybe 50 metres from the spot. The blast was extremely loud," he said.

"Most of the crowd were young people, I could see them strewn across the field, some dead, others wounded asking for help. It was just chaos."
