Hundreds dead in explosions in Sri Lankan churches and hotels
https://www.ibtimes.co.in/breaking-o...-sunday-796331
The explosions occurred in churches on easter sunday , indicating planned attack on christians . So is it revenge for what happened at Christchurch ? |
Reckon it's more of the revenge against the riots between Buddhists and Muslims that happened in the recent past.
Local news are reporting the organisation, that has a presence in Sri Lanka and, more worryingly, in South India. But unless their government names the perpetrators, we are all just relying on the media. For me, the worst thing was that the country's intelligence agency had warned of attacks on church on Easter. Despite of that, the cops failed to prevent it. Terrible thing for the Lankans to suffer. It's been 10 years since the war ended, and the country was rapidly recovering for the better. Also to target a religious place on a festival. Just absolutely terrible. |

Denmark's richest man and owner of brands like Vero Moda and Jack and Jones loses 3 of his four children in the terror attacks . They had been on vacation . I guess no one is going to be on vacation in this tourist paradise for some time:( |

I also find people being upset by the term 'Merry Christmas' as weirdos. If you want to consider others, who also have festivals during that time, wish them about their festivals separately, but to state that wishing specifically on their festival i.e. Merry Christmas is wrong is part of that problem. Christian religious places were predominantly targeted on a Christian festival here. Simple fact. |

Terrible stuff. My heart goes out to those affected by these bombings.

That doesn't make any sense (not that radical Islamists are known for making sense). If retaliation for Christchurch was the objective, why didn't they target New Zealand?

Re: Hundreds dead in explosions in Sri Lankan churches and hotels
What's worrying, and absolutely not surprising, is that the Indian branch of this organisation is close to the Congress party in India. Was largely seen few years ago pushing the Communal violence bill, when Congress was in power.
Also, some of these terrorists were rich and educated. Not new, there have been plenty of cases like that before, but it still boggles my mind. |
NZ: No evidence to link Sri Lanka as retaliation:

https://www.breitbart.com/national-s...-christchurch/ Sri Lanka is a majority Buddhist country and attacks happened against minority Christians , not against majority Buddhists . What else it is except retaliation for Christchurch , or else majority Buddhists would have been targeted . |

Re: Hundreds dead in explosions in Sri Lankan churches and hotels
I mean, if that's someone's only takeaway, or they care about that as much as the bombing, yeah, that's ridiculous. But luckily we can care about more than one thing, and even in differing amounts, simultaneously. So I'll say: I've never heard the phrase "Easter worshipper" in my life, and it's totally bizarre.
