“When terrorism is directly aiming at Western countries, it is automatically and abnormally enlarged in order to instill emotions and fear. However, when attacks happen in the Middle East, is it conveniently downplayed and less talked about. Unless they would benefit more from a heavy coverage.” CountryHappensOrderEmotionMiddleBenefitsWesternHeavyTerrorismEastMiddle EastCoverageInstill Author:Tariq Ramadan
