Th whole article is basically saying what is a well known fact that if you share values and culture you feel more affinity. But that's the point of the outrage: empathize for humanity not just for your own kind. At least try. Also nothing for 220+ people dead on Sinai plane because west hates Russia or 100s of 1000s of people dead in the last decade in middle east because they are don't share "western values". Obama sees "humanity" attacked only when terrorists attack the west.
