I&#x27;m tired of reading this type of analysis because it&#x27;s simply stupid. And I am pretty convinced the author knows it himself.<p>Here is why - islamic terrorists killing a few hundred people in Beirut (or anywhere in the Middle East, really) is normal. Not in a sense of &#x27;what the world should be like&#x27; but in a sense of &#x27;this is not an unexpected occurrence&#x27;.<p>Same way that Christian terrorists (even though they weren&#x27;t called that) killing 20 thousands people in Paris 443 years ago (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;St._Bartholomew%27s_Day_massacre" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;St._Bartholomew%27s_Day_massac...</a>) was normal back then. That&#x27;s what the Christian world was going through.<p>However in the last few hundred years Paris didn&#x27;t really have religious terrorism - that&#x27;s why it coming back is a big deal.
