Actually, the ragheads probably derive more sexual gratification from images like these than they do from their goats.

Teddy bears, tears, candles, cartoons, murals, mosaics, flowers, flags, projections, hashtags, balloons, wreaths, lights, vigils, scarves, and more. These are the best solutions the Western world seems to come up with every few months when we are slammed by another Islamist terrorist attack. We are our own sickness.
Since the world learned of the dozens dead, hundreds injured, and hundreds of thousands affected by Monday’s attack on the NATO and European Union capital, we have seen an outpouring of what is commonly known as “solidarity”.
This word – most commonly associated with hard-left politics, trades union activism, socialism, and poseur indie rock bands – has come to mean very little in reality. In effect, “standing in solidarity” with someone now means that you have observed the situation, changed your Facebook profile picture accordingly, and patted yourself on the back.
And if like dead bodies Facebook profile pictures lost heat, it would be accurate to say that the Tricolores that adorned the social media profiles of many had hardly become cold before we were all changing the colours of the bands on the flags. From blue to black. From white to yellow. The blood red remains.

I love this writer. He is very good.
Very strong and concise use of language.
Yes, the hashtags and teddy bears give the terrorists a good laugh.
Every time I see one of these displays anymore I wish I was there. Not to console them, but to kick over their candles and slap them.
Especially liked this quote:
“Because Mr. Trump has thought in a cycle longer than his potential presidency: what does the Western world look like in 20, 30, 50 years? What kind of societies do we leave to our children?”
Aka, virtue signaling. The favorite pastime of progs on social media.
It's so brutally true...
Princess Diana's death was the biggest display I remember in my lifetime. And she received Christian rites and burial.
I think these shrines bring people together of all faiths or no faith at all. And it's not all peaceful. The soccer players accused of being hooligans trampled some of it, and there was an Israel hater who climbed through the mementos and covered over an Israeli flag with either a European or Palestinian one.
I can see myself contributing a little but there are other outlets for me, mainly prayer for the victims and loved ones they have left behind. A lot of the victims may not even get a funeral, hope I'm wrong about that.
Of course this is common sense.
The actions of the leaders of the nations reveals the ancient hand of evil moving the pieces over the millennia.
Excellent article, great headline.
How about guns and bullets, how about standing up and fighting for yourselves, how about throwing out the parasites that you have elected who are allowing your enemy in to kill you yet they have no problem using water cannons on you when you go against them.
