    Sympathy for whom?

      The family and friends of the victims.

        Was I wrong? Your OP started out asking a reasonable question (debatable, but reasonable), but then descended into the usual dig.

          I apologise if I haven't met your hand-wringing threshold.

            Clearly not them.

              2/10 for trolling.

              Perhaps people don't comment on it is because there is nothing to add as it's not a novel situation like New Zealand and their response.

                Nothing to do with Trolling but thanks for your input - however erroneous it may be.

                  Of course people care. The religion of the victims is irrelevant (not all victims would have been Christian) - almost as much as the religion or perceived cause of the perps is also irrelevant. Let's just remember that innocent people were murdered by idiot, cowardly terrorists. The terrorists are no more representative of all Muslims any more than the IRA, the bloke in NZ or the bloke in Norway are representative of all Christians.

                  People have lost their lives and loved ones. Point scoring over this is sad and a bit pathetic.

                    And if I up the mark to 7/10?

                      I'm flattered, but nope.
