Are they white hostages? I need to know whether or not to change my Facebook profile picture.
Yeah, seriously, it’s like I have to change my Facebook background pic to a different country’s flag everyday!
Wait, just had an idea! How about an app that detects tragedies in the news then auto changes your Facebook pic background to the flag of the country that has the highest death toll for that day!
Sadly, that really should be a thing.
And then you could sell it for 99 cents and a “portion” of the profits would benefit those who have suffered in the various tragedies! win-win-WIN!
You could call it CALM - cause all lives matter.
Anyhow, my consulting fee can be discussed later.
And we need a hashtag generator too. Especially if we want to achieve as lasting a result as #bringbackourgirls did.
Sick burn bro!
I almost posted this comment to my FB page but quickly thought better about it…but damn I was close!

I gotta tell you and Twitter – a

After months of trying, Mr. Abaaoud pulled off last week’s attacks — which, in turn, some supporters of Al Qaeda saw as something to be matched in fearsomeness and surpassed with what, in their view, was a more moral approach, taking care to limit the deaths of Muslim civilians.
The Mali gunmen weeded out Muslims by demanding that hostages recite verses from the Quran to be freed.
“Lions who carried out #MaliAttack separated Muslims from Christian in order2 protect the inviolable blood of Muslims,” one supporter wrote on Twitter.
Another — calling himself Abu Sufian al-Libi, or the Libyan, on a Twitter profile that suggested he was fighting in Syria with Al Qaeda’s Nusra Front affiliate — responded enthusiastically.
“This is how Muslims SHOULD act!” he wrote, adding that the Islamic State “should learn a thing or two and drop their crooked creed and methodology,” an apparent reference to the group’s willingness to include Muslims in its slaughter of civilians. Muslims account for a majority of the Islamic State’s victims in Iraq and Syria, and some of those killed in Paris last week.
yuck.
