Tweet us @guestlistdotnet The death toll as a result of terror attacks in 2015 was astronomical, but why do we only hear about attacks on the West? Here's a look at what's been going on elsewhere and a discussion about why the West are being targeted. Here's a look at what's been going on elsewhere and a discussion about why the West are being targeted. 2015 saw an astronomically high death toll as a result of terror attacks, mainstream Western media channels made more noise about the ones that affected the West directly. However with all this suffering happening as a result of terrorism, how can we in the West combat it more effectively? It is becoming increasingly apparent, as time goes on, that the efforts of the West to combat terrorism have in effect made the problem worse. The war-on-terror has not been won, only prelonged and it shows little sign of slowing. By now it should be obvious, that our history of antagonising countries in the Middle East has spurred on the radicalisation of militant groups and painted a larger target on our own countries. At the same time, we can't continue complaining about an immigration 'problem' whilst simultaneously causing people to have to flee their homes. Sadly, in addition to this, arms companies are making great profit from these terror attacks all over the world. Which means that the current Western governments, so hell-bent on boming the 'terrorists', despite their alleged disgust, are actually benefitting greatly from keeping these wars going. The arms trade is booming. Death and terrorsim are no joke, wherever they occur, so let's take a moment to talk about other countries that have suffered in media silence in 2015: Over 800 random acts of kindness were recorded in the village of Congresbury to mark the church's 800th anniversary.
