The Inferno
In the traditional hell, 'sinners' were assumed to burn and suffer in punishment for some bad deeds. But everyone also assumed that children and babies will go straight to heaven.
Now we come to this hell:
Babies and children, innocent by definition, are shelled, buried under the rubble, burned by phosphorous bombs and blown into pieces. They are also starved and operated upon without anesthetics.
Meanwhile, we are forced to watch these horror scenes but not change them. Those who protest and chant against the massacres are accused of committing genocide. As residential blocks, mosques and universities are blown up and demolished in the background, the killers take selfies of themselves with female victims' undergarments and as they sign bombs.
A final artistic touch:
In this hell, the mass-killers also get to say that they are the victims and condemn the ones being massacred. They describe themselves as 'civilized' and their victims as 'savage'.
...
The verdict:
After careful literature review, I would say without a shred of a doubt, that Dante was an amateur and his Inferno lacks imagination.
It doesn't come even close.
