Debate over attack continues on Arab social media

Debates between those mourning the attack in France and those pointing out what they consider to be double standards are still continuing on Tiwtter.

One Emirati writer posted: "There is no one more contemptible than someone who says: Have you forgotten what France did in Algeria? People who suggest this do not mind an innocent child being killed for a crime committed by their grandfather! #Nice_attack"

He then recieved this response from another Arab social media user: "Why does the world treat the killing of innocents in Syria as normal news and when innocent Europeans are killed it becomes the Day of Judgement? The news is published on all news channels"
