Why do we want the sympathy and attention of others so badly, what difference does it make?

It helps reduce the stereotype that only Muslims are terrorists and all others are victims.

No, it portrays the very different, that we are desperate to play the victim card, and that we cannot go without receiving attention and sympathy. That is not cool. Events like these should instigate us to be more united and consoling, and finding the solutions to the causes; not desperately looking to attain sympathy and attention.

Also, it is sad that we do not accept the fact that many (probably ... >90%) terrorists consider themselves Muslims; acceptance is the first step to solution. We need to find out the root socio-political and military causes of the rise in terrorism among Muslims, and find solutions to counter its corruptive influence on Islam. Denying what is a fact, because some idiots overseas use it as an excuse to demonize the majority general Muslim public, won't help you solve the issue at hand.

There is not much support. If by celebrities we mean Hollywood, they don’t care much.

It is not about sympathy but reach!
If the reach is far, some amendments will take place.

For instance:
Gun laws in NZ will now be challenged!

Terrible stats!

There are more White and local terrorists who just dont get called terrorists!

The opposite is actually true! The trend is dying rather than growing....at least in comparison to local breeds!

Even if some celebrities said something it's because this incident happened in New Zealand. Basicly they show their support to the NZ for this traumatic attack. And second reason is that it's a racist-fascist attack which is against their "so-called" values, nothing to do with Muslims of NZ. They just don't truly care of some killed Muslims. I don't trust non-muslims' sincerity.

I don't think most countres left statement for Newzealand muslims. Even Trump don't agree too.

Trump again punts on white supremacy after New Zealand attacks

(CNN) — Once again, President Donald Trump is having a tough time calling out far right-wing white nationalism.
His response to the carnage in New Zealand, where 49 people died in an attack on two mosques, is also raising fresh questions about his attitude toward Islam following a long history of anti-Muslim rhetoric -- and about the extent to which the President has a responsibility to moderate his language given the rise in white supremacy movements across the world.
On Twitter and in remarks in the Oval Office, Trump was clear in condemning the killings. But he did not deliver a message of empathy and support to American Muslims, who may feel scared as security is stepped up at US mosques.

I was watching some figures and stats on US media regarding terrorism and crime. Domestic terrorism crimes perpetrated by white extremists by far outnumber crimes committed by immigrants/Muslims. There is absolutely no comparison whatsoever and that includes major terrorist attacks. It is an absolute lie that Muslims are terrorists. This is exactly what the hateful extremists want to propagate. As long as we don’t know the truth we are unable to differentiate between facts and fiction.

In this day and age of information it is vital that our upcoming generations are absolutely well informed.

- Your intent can be reach, but the image given off, by desire that people sympathize with you, is different.
As for gun laws in New Zealand, the PM herself said they will be changed in reaction to the event.
As for reach, what you are looking for is celebrities literally advocating, for example, for gun laws to be stricter citing this event, not simply sympathizing to morally clear themselves: People get their news from news, not from following celebrities on twitter, they follow them for lifestyle so ideas of celebrities can influence their followers bias. Seeing tweets of celebrities sympathizing wont change anything since people have already heard it on the news or among social circles, it will simply allow them to see their role models as morally good people, what will change and cause 'reach' to cause socio-political ripples os if celebrities also advocate for a certain idea in relation to the event rather than just sympathize for the event.

- Terrorism is defined as the use of violence for political, and/or religious, gain. Now compare the number of attacks done in the name of religion, and those done in the name of a race in the 20th and 21st century.

- Good, but context is necessary: why is the trend that of downward? Is it due to military crack downs on large scale, such as that in Syria and Iraq? Is it due to fear of war, poverty and destruction? Is it due to forceful restraints undertaken by the international community such as cracking down on their financial lines?
The point I am making is that you can tell a person to do something for you at gunpoint, but in his heart, hid desire and intent is different. Unless we analyse the social factors apart from military ones, we might be sending this terrorism only into its dormant stage for now.

I think it is complicated. I think it is also related to the fact that the Western media simply doesn’t always cover the facts. They report news as it suits their narrative and interests. Just like most media outlets. Remember that celebrities basically also rely on their domestic media for information. Some celebrities are very well informed due to their affiliations with other nations. Some have very limited knowledge about world affairs.

There is no denying that the Western media has vilified Muslims for a long time. You cannot change the anti-Muslim perception over night.

Many celebrities choose to remain neutral and quiet due to political sensitivities. They don’t want to choose sides and anger fans who are left or right leaning. They care about their popularity. They only speak up when they know that they won’t anger left or right. That is usually when the perpetrator is a Muslim or immigrant.

Not everyone adheres to such thinking...

9/11, Paris, Brussels, London - Did they want sympathy?

Celebrities have a large follow...They have a certain influence.

Hopefully it will make Americans question theirs!

To some extent maybe.
Mostly prob due to the fact the Caliphate did no good so far!

Taika Waititi, Russell Crowe Speak Out on New Zealand Shooting

Taika Waititi, Russell Crowe, and Sam Neill are speaking up about the horrifying mass shootings in Christchurch, New Zealand. On Friday, at least 49 people were killed, and 20 were seriously injured, when terrorists opened fire on two mosques in the area. According to CNN, “three people were arrested in connection with the shootings”; one man has been charged with murder.

On Friday, Waititi—a native New Zealander who grew up on the East Coast and in Wellington—released a statement about the tragedy on Twitter, writing that his “heart is broken.”

“My country is weeping and so am I,” he wrote. “I am dying knowing that this kind of hatred can happen in my homeland. All my love goes out to Christchurch, the victims, the families, the Muslim community, and all who have chosen our islands as their home. This is not us.”

The director is known for films like Hunt for the Wilderpeople, a comedy that broke box-office records in New Zealand, and the Marvel hit Thor: Ragnarok. He’s also set to direct upcoming episodes of the Star Wars series The Mandalorian. He continued on Twitter, weighing in on the fact that N.Z. police are warning citizens to avoid mosques.

“Do not allow those criminals the satisfaction,” Waititi wrote. “Go to Mosque, Church, Synagogue, Marae, Maunga. Sink into community and love. In the words of Bob, ‘The people who are trying to make this world worse aren’t taking a day off. How can I? Light up the darkness.’ ❤️ One Love.”

“Kia kaha” is a Māori phrase that means “be strong.“

Sam Neill, a New Zealander who lives in Queenstown, also penned a similar sentiment on Twitter, calling the attacks “beyond grotesque horrific white supremacist terrorist crime.”

“With love and heartbreak to the Muslim community of Aotearoa, we are with you,” he wrote. “You are us. We are all NewZealanders. #TheyAreUs Kia kaha. We weep together.”

- Yes, large following, influence as well. But. Sympathizing is not exerting influence. I wont get you to change your mind about gun laws by sympathizing within an unfortunate event, however if i literally advocate for its change, I will exert my influence. So that stands true, and it should be what we should universally be looking for.

- I get your point but wrong mindset, to be honest. Most influential people are influential not simply because they are but because they put in an effort, a lot more compared to us lazy ****s. We all can commit to something to gain influence but we don't because we rather spend time and money entertaining ourselves. True for me to an extent, I can say, now I feel horrible.
