    A result of more police checkpoints, restrictions?

    You seem to be suggesting some sort of orchestrated conspiracy behind ISIS, if so, what is it?

    News of people dying in your home country will alway take precident over those in a desert somewhere, next would be the rest of the Europe or sometimes the USA or Australia/ New Zealand because they speak English, then Japan, China, India and the rest of Asia.

    Somewhere down the bottom of the news cycle is whatever is happening in the Middle East, unless it is some threat to the oil supply in which case it suddenly becomes more interesting to the news cycle.

    You need to keep the people focused and terrified of a virus. You can be distracting them with news of events in Syria and whatnot.

    Traditionally it's been the other way round on this forum, that the government is keeping people terrified of the events in Syria in order to promote Islamophobia. I guess it's conveniently interchangeable when it suits.

    Well then I suppose ISIS is not that much of a threat after all.


    They've only killed maybe 0.01% of this virus.
