Because it fail to raise at the level of \u00a0what &#8220;1st world country&#8221; means . And there is a reason why we regard it with empathy and why we have expectations that <strong>some <\/strong>\u00a0countries \u00a0are doing more to protect the \u00a0citizens living within their borders , be them native , or not . In general , it is expected that these countries value a lot more the humans and the human rights and it makes sense to empathise , to manifest and to protest when \u00a0it&#8217;s the case, because these are the expressions of people&#8217;s will , and the democratic and peaceful means of change.<\/p>\n<p>While they\u00a0make no sense and you&#8217;ld be a foul to \u00a0hope of any effect within a 3rd world country , especially when criticizing a terrorist organization.<\/p>\n<p>That is why the 1st world countries in Europe do their best \u00a0not to have their own population enraged against the immigrants \u00a0belonging to same religion, nationality, or culture with the terrorist organizations committing and taking credit for acts of such crude violence , even though the statistics show a correlation between the increase in number of this population in Europe and an increase in criminality and terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>That is why an Europe&#8217;s 1st world country would rather arrest a guy who admitted by a tweet the fact that he\u00a0discriminated a muslim and potentially created social tensions , even though his instigation was not followed but mocked. \u00a0Because Europe actively looks in protecting \u00a0the interests of all humans inside and apparently outside, which is not necessarily for the best, but it&#8217;s what you would expect for a civilized country and you&#8217;d never think of in 3rd world.<\/p>\n<p>Because Europe is not\u00a0<strong>Yet\u00a0<\/strong> a country of talibans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And it happened.
