RIP young man. Does anyone knows his real name?
The major media sources are ignoring the Iraq fighting. Already close to 4,000 people have been killed in the last few days, including the 1,700 adult men executed by the ISIS in a single massacre.

Rip to your friend and the thousands who died. Hope they can sort it up as soon as possible. Sectarian war is an messy and very ugly war.
Does Obama allow Iraq to be taken by terrorist? It is America's fault that lead to this instability in Iraq

I know that many people die everyday in that part of the world and nobody cares, and honestly I was part of the group that didn't care until I met him on teamspeak.
Indeed. The Internet has enabled Bitcoin, but also people throughout the world to meet directly and not only through the lens of governments. This may be the greatest impediment to war, next to Bitcoin, in modern times. It's easy to be desensitized to killing off faceless people who seem quite apart from one's self.

Zarqawi was killed in a U.S. airstrike in 2006, but the organization he founded is again on the march. In just a week, his group — formerly known as al-Qaeda in Iraq and now called the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS — has seized cities and towns across western and northern Iraq at a pace that might have astonished Zarqawi himself.
...
Counterterrorism officials who tried to defeat the group during the Zarqawi era expressed begrudging respect for ISIS’s ability to recover from virtual extinction in the years after his death. The current leader, a former Iraqi teacher known as Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, managed to find new purpose in the Syrian conflict and renewed strength in the lawless regions of eastern Syria and western Iraq, where his fighters could train and plan without interference from U.S. and other Western military forces.

I care and millions marched and continue to practice non-state human solidarity because they do too. Thanks for the perspective check and rip to your friend.
Condolences to you and his family. Did he have a bitcointalk account?
I'm sure many of you are aware of ISIS and the invasion that's currently occurring, and my friend was a victim. I didn't know much about him, I played League of Legends with him and talked to him in our community's teamspeak channel. I introduced him to Bitcoin a year ago, and he did his part in spreading it to locals who might be interested. I know that many people die everyday in that part of the world and nobody cares, and honestly I was part of the group that didn't care until I met him on teamspeak. He was part of the Bitcoin community, albeit in a small way, and I'm making this thread so that he lives on in some way and is not completely forgotten.
