Thanks, Mirza.

In short:


And this what politicians, multi-nationals and the media are masters at.

What is wrong with the media? Why is it so one-sided? Oh, I get it. It's because he's a Muslim. Had it been a christian it would've been headline news.

The fearless father who threw himself on a suicide bomber, saving 'hundreds' of lives in Beirut



A father, with his young daughter watching, sacrificed himself to save others when terrorists struck Beirut last week.

The day before the horrific massacre in central Paris left the world reeling, two attacks during rush hour in Lebanons capital city killed 45 and wounded more than 200 others.

If not for the heroic actions of one man, the death toll would have been much higher. And now, days later, his heroism is being recognized.

Adel Termos was walking in an open-air market with his daughter, according to reports, when the first suicide bomber detonated his explosives. Amid the instant chaos, Termos spotted the second bomber preparing to blow himself up, and made the quick decision to tackle him to the ground. The bomb went off, killing Termos, but saving countless others, including his daughters.

There are many, many families, hundreds probably, who owe their completeness to his sacrifice, Elie Fares, a blogger and physician in Beirut, told Public Radio International in an interview last week.

In a way, Adel Termos broke human nature of self-preservation. His heroism transcended his own life to save others, Fares told The Washington Post in an e-mail Monday. To make that kind of decision in a split second, to decide that youd rather save hundreds than to go back home to your family, to decide that the collective lives of those around you are more important than your own is something that I think no one will ever understand.

Though Fares had immediately shared Termoss story, and it was covered by local media there, it went largely unnoticed by the international community, especially as news of the Paris attacks quickly consumed the news cycle.

But in Lebanon, Termos was instantly famous, memorialized in Facebook posts and conversations, Fares told PRI last week.

After the Thursday attacks, Fares, on his own blog, wrote about Termos:

Tonight, Adel is no longer of this world, but his legacy will live on for years, and the repercussions of his heroism will become a tale to tell: Adel is the reason we are not talking about fatalities in the three digits today, he is the reason some families still have their sons, daughters, fathers and mothers, he is a Lebanese hero whose name should be front and center in every single outlet.

Then Sunday, Fares gained attention, and by extension attention for Termos, when The Huffington Post shared a post hed written: From Beirut, This Is Paris: In a World That Doesnt Care About Arab Lives.

When my people died, they did not send the world in mourning, Fares wrote. Their death was but an irrelevant fleck along the international news cycle, something that happens in those parts of the world.

That is why, Fares said in his e-mail Monday, it took several days for Termos story to be known, and shared, outside Lebanon.

When the attacks in which his heroism manifested are not heard about or highlighted enough, the details of those attacks will also get pushed to the side, he said. Adel included.

Nobody cares about this Taike. Our precious white lives are more important in the western world than these people who live through something like Paris every day. And much worse. But we are ok with that. As long as they are not white or Christian. That is very important here. As I said, we have become Nazis.

The culprits are not Muslims but terrorists. They're not the same but the media/governments makes us believe that they are. Well, they won't fool me.

If you stay tight-fisted on everything but war, you're not going to go anywhere fast but behind.

It was news. I had already known all about this. Don't jump to conclusions so quickly. Or else you become part of the problem when you make antagonistic statements like that. That is what extremists like ISIS want.

It only found out today, Nigel.

I was taken aback by this: When my people died, they did not send the world in mourning, Fares wrote. Their death was but an irrelevant fleck along the international news cycle, something that happens in those parts of the world.

Which sounds to me that we have become immune to what's going on in the Middle East as long as the violence is between them and doesn't involve us.
