Holy Shiite.

Almost all jihadism and terrorism in the West and Western countries comes from Sunni Islam.

I see what you're saying, Harmless Teddy Bear. I totally get it.
At the same time, much of it comes down to luck.

One can be an Olympian, yet if a truck plows through a crowded pedestrian area at 50 mph / 80 kph, much of it depends on where you're standing.
Not trying to be argumentative, I just feel the mainstream media tries to minimize attacks because it goes against their narrative.

Wow....a little short sighted on history. Look at the terrorism a couple of decades ago and you will find it is Shiite. Hijackings, kidnappings, disco and airport shootings and bombings etc.

You are right that many times there is nothing an adult can do to protect themselves and they are just as helpless as the baby they are holding.

Still the killing of a baby or pregnant female strikes at the very heart of why we formed civilization. It is not necessarily logical and most people could not tell you why they morn for the 3000 that died on 9/11 but will still tear up when they hear that one of the women who died had just learned that she was pregnant.

It is part of being civilized.

And while I would not disagree that the MSM tries to downplay the attacks bringing up the death of children would not be an intelligent way to do it.

Then again, who said they were especially intelligent?

ABC (AU) blog:

“Victoria Poilce Chief Commisioner Graham Ashton reiterates the man in custody has no terrorist links, but had already been known to police.
 
What we do know of the person is there is an extensive family violence history involved. He has come to our attention on many occasions in the past. We have mental health and drug-related issues in the background of this particular person.
 
He has been coming to our attention more recently over recent days in relation to assaults, family violence-related assaults. Also was charged by us over the course of last weekend.”

They are not civilized.

I know it sounds simplistic to put it that way but it is accurate.

Civilization is not about art or cool inventions. It is about the continuation of the human race and that means protecting the most vulnerable among us.
