It doesn't matter if they're European or middle eastern. Not sure how it's any different people saying "rip beirut" or putting a french flag in their photo. Chances are they know nobody in either country anyway.
Of course French lives aren't more important however France and an attack like this on France is much closer to home than Beirut or Baghdad, many people will have known people in Paris or have been their recently or just simply the way of life is more similar thus raising the it could be us questions.
