I think it is traumatizing enough for the families of the casualties without having the news cycle grind it into the ground as an excuse for a war like they are doing (and horrifyingly, I've heard some people saying that they deserved it just for being mostly Muslim) or to justify some pet conspiracy theory. Hearts and prayers to the bereaved.

Agreed. It's also silly to assume that all the passengers were Muslim. That may be Malaysia's state religion, but a significant percentage of the population aren't Malay. A little over 20% of the population is Chinese, most of whom identify as Buddhist. The predominant religion of non-Malays is Christianity.

Main reason would be that it was a plane going from Amsterdam. Pretty good chance a lot of those were tourists/business people.

Just starting the school vacation season in Europe too, god.

Shit...

I actually have friends from Amsterdam. Hope all their loved ones are okay. It's highly improbable they'd know anyone, but still.

Yeah, I saw on the news that many of the victims were Dutch.

That hasn't filtered through to the yahoos around here :( They are still in full Muslim-rant mode. Not that the victims ethnicity, nationality, religion, or anything ought to matter. Just, some people want an excuse to hate on something.

They weren't. The plain left in Amsterdam and 154 Dutch died in the crash (it's all over my Facebook). Sure, some of them might have been Muslim, but the majority weren't. It's a stupid assumption in the first place, and secondly it's just horrible to say you'd deserve death because of your religion.

If it wasn't tragedy porn, it would be scripted professional wrestling between political middleweights without the wrestling or the professional entertainment aspect.

The news could definitely be more sensitive about this. But if there was ever a time for this to be shouted about, it's now.

The families deserve to know what happened, and the responsibility needs to be established as quickly as possible. Then maybe there will be some hope of nipping more rising tensions in the bud before it spirals into outright war.
