Enough.

As literally everyone on Earth would know, the 15th anniversary of 9/11 has been and gone, which obviously prompted a bunch of Facebook posts, Tumblr rants and tweets supporting those who lost family or friends in the attacks.

That makes sense.

Even if some of them are a little dumb.

However.

This:

Is not cool.

The image was posted by a Tumblr user, and was absolutely decimated in the comments, or reblogs or whatever it’s called.

Yes, 9/11 was awful. But so was the violence incited by thousands of white Americans and Europeans toward Muslim families in the western world, and even in areas where literal towns are bombed without any discrimination between civilian lives or militant lives.

People died. Yes.

But people are dying, in worse ways than we could think of.

And for the record, the people who carried out these attacks are not of any faith. Anyone who needs to die for their faith doesn’t understand what faith is, I don’t think. Even George W Bush had the right idea.

And those are words I never thought I’d say:

Right, now back to our regularly scheduled programming…
