6 Churches in Sri Lanka Bombed in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday

News 1st? Seriously?

Troll.

Sri Lanka is overwhelmingly a Buddhist country and the Buddhists there are known to attack minority communities (including Muslims) or to riot when they think their faith is being attacked or under threat by missionaries.

Nice try, OP. But chances are that this is story is not what you WISH it were.

For R1

It's the exciteable Third World. This happens every day. No one cares OP unless a tourist scored a splinter. Next.

I was just researching trips to Sri Lanka looks like I’m definitely going now. Maybe I’ll die in the next terrorist attack

As someone once said, religion is organized madness.

No one cares OP.

r5 How old are you and why do you want to die in a terrorist attack? Is your life that bad?

And really, why should we?

"SO USA?"

R8

37 and my life is one continuing shitshow

R3, Thank you for your post & link.

R1, You call me a Troll for reporting the news from the very 1st link I find? Twitter is always more update than MSM. WHY isn't this story in the NY Times or the LA Times?

R2, So burning historical works of art ie churches is acceptable to you because supposedly the Buddists have demonstrated against other religious/ethnic groups? Have they attacked Muslims on their holiest day of the year? Does destroying Notre Dame, another historical work of art, in any way compensate the thousands of victims of sexual abuse from priests and nuns? Only an imbecile would equate the two.

R1, R2, Finally MSM is picking up the story now that it has been verified that over 200 innocent people have been killed and many, many more injured. Also several have been arrested.

Why should DL care? You don't think that there won't be serious civil unrest and a strong reaction in Sri Lanka as well as elsewhere in the world?

Link to my previous post follows:

The regressive left is trying to hide who is responsible

It's very telling that this isn't getting anywhere near as attention or press as the mosque shooting n New Zealand last month.

"The regressive left is trying to hide who is responsible"

Buddhists?

R17, also they have not named the 7 suspects arrested. If it were perpetrated by another religion or group , we would know already. It’s Muslims

It must be the Religion of Peace again.

R18, you’re retarded!!

R10, "So USA" means Southern US. There's been a rash of churches burning and being attacked across the US and the world this week. F

or the atheists of DL, think of the historical artwork destroyed in the process. Also that churches in many communities have long served as the social service provider for countless even non-church attendees, holding AA meetings, distributing essentials for those facing tragedy, counseling for children in violent households.

R21, So you resort to very immature & child name-calling as your only way of responding to someone who makes an extremely valid point on DL?

The region of peace: carnage and blood everywhere.

Two of the suicide bombers were named as Zahran Hashim and Abu Mohammed.

Sounds so Buddhist

ISIS and their copycat organizations are still alive and active? Recall an announcement for Jihad on churches everyplace.

Will this lead to civil war in other countries or just more violent riots? Or just an increase in prejudice against even innocent Muslims around the world?

Screw Islam

[quote] Or just an increase in prejudice against even innocent Muslims around the world?

As they have done around the world where they are minorities, Muslims have been tweaking the Sinhalese (Buddhist) nose for years in a challenge to their dominance and power.

It's funny how people keep citing these American churches without mentioning they were BLACK churches and the attacker was not any kind of Muslim or even a lefty atheist but a racist White American, the son of a local sheriff.

If Lankan Muslims wanted to challenge Buddhist domination in Sri Lanka, they would have joined the Tamil Tigers since Lankan Muslims are also ethnic Tamils. They refused, got massacred by the Hindu Tamils for such refusal, and now in Peace times are being hunted by the Buddhists, whom they refused to fight against before, because the Buddhists are envious of Muslim economic success.

In Germany 24 Easter service attendees were injured in an attack.

R30, The White racist nutcase isn't the only one causing mayhem in churches. Recently an assailant tried to get in a prominent NY church with explosives. Thankfully he was stopped before any damage was done. He was identified as a White Liberal college professor. WTF?

Point being that there is a rash of attacks on churches around the world, including in the US following a call from ISIS for Jihad. Copycat violence from others to be expected, unfortunately.

“whom they refused to fight against before, because the Buddhists are envious of Muslim economic success.”

Hahaha, you gotta bridge you wanna sell?

WOW! Hardly anyone replying. How telling.

The NZ was on it's second thread by now. The DL is pathetic.

R34, exactly! Muslims are the highest on the totem pole for the left.

Leftist gays have been brainwashed to put Muslims and their evil ideology before LGB.

Some Muslim-loving whackjob on here accused me of being 'alt-right' a few hours ago just because I pointed out that SJWs always make excuses for Islam. lol

[quote] [R1], You call me a Troll for reporting the news from the very 1st link I find? Twitter is always more update than MSM. WHY isn't this story in the NY Times or the LA Times?

You're not a troll, you're just stupid. Twitter breaks thousands of "stories" everyday. If you are not able to tell the difference between legitimate news sources and crap, you shouldn't be on the internet. Besides, all the major wire services and newspapers sent out "Breaking News" alerts this morning when this happened.

Death toll is up to 138 million.

When will they officially reveal the terrorists names?

I am a better and I would put big money on religion of peace

peeful

[quote]When will they officially reveal the terrorists names?

The guy who burnt three churches in Louisiana is a white guy named named Holden Matthews.

BDS Islam by any means possible.

138 billion white Christians killed by evil Muslims.

Or you know, the decades long civil war between the Buddhists and Hindus.

White American racists don't work for ISIS, fucktard.

[quote]Hahaha, you gotta bridge you wanna sell?

You clearly don't know much about Sri Lanka, supposing you know a thing at all, so why would you want to debate this issue? It's a fact - in poor Buddhist countries like Burma and Sri Lanka, Muslims make up much of the bourgeoisie and that tends to flame economic envy from the part of the Buddhist majority, as happened with Jews in Europe. This fact doesn't fit the image that racists like you have of Muslims, that of parasites leeching on Western welfare money, but it fits well with some historical facts, for example that in Southeast Asia Islam spread via trade missions.

The fact that Muslims make up so much of the middle class explains why they refused to join the Hindu Tamil revolt against the Buddhist Singhalese. As Nietzsche said, war is bad for business and Muslims, as the business-oriented community in Sri Lanka, would have most to lose from the instability in that country.

I know from looking around on Reddit that this website is visited by straight male alt-right types who loathe gay men but are fond the anonymity and cuntiness that reigns in our place. I strongly suspect that the people going on and on about Muslims in this thread must be these such types of dudes as both their lack of wit and culture, as well as their brattish, quixotic confidence in their own ignorance, spell straight male.

Al-Jazeera Journalist Claims Reporting Name of Alleged Sri Lanka Suicide Bomber is “Islamophobic”

r50 Look at that link, you can tell from a mile that it's a disreputable propaganda website. Muriel should do more to combat the use of this platform by obvious alt-right dicks to spread Islamophobia, but I honestly get the impression that DL's moderators are fine with anti-Muslim hatred.

Thowheed Jama’ath is probably responsible for the attacks.

It’s Muslims! They confirmed it

Off topic but R49, that's a good observation.

Sri Lanka has seen a spike in jihadi activity since 2017

R47, Please check your reading comprehension. I very clearly said COPYCAT attacks on churches, after the initial calls by ISIS for this specific form of terrorism around Easter, Good Friday, Palm Sunday and Holy Week. Copycats are usually not of the same ethnicity & religion.

R47, Anyone who resorts to using very childish & immature name calling is obviously intellectually deficient.

R39, Since you obviously have far superior intelligence why didn't your very brilliant self post this story with your preferred links? Or is it just easier for you to criticize others who put in the work & effort?

Christians in SL are a weak target for Islamists.

Most of you here are sick and f—ked up. 138 Innocent people were killed and hundred injured. Get lives.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Have, AOC, Ilhan Omar, Linda Sarsour or Bernie Sanders responded yet? I guess it's only newsworthy for the new left when white people do this.

thoughts and prayers

" Anyone who resorts to using very childish & immature name calling is obviously intellectually deficient." Anyone who defends Islamic terrorists is a tard.

[Quote] Most of you here are sick and f—ked up. 138 Innocent people were killed and hundred injured. Get lives.

oh, dear.

R59, innocent people are killed in far greater numbers every single day. Most people don't care unless it's happening in their city, town or neighborhood.

That's just a fact.

Mohammud and the islamic god are dancing for joy in the virgin-filled islamic paradise this evening.

I wonder when it will become official? It’s pretty much an open secret. Perhaps Sri Lanka security is holding off because they’re worried about more attacks?

R12 i feel ya and i am way older than you. so you have more shit to witness that i will, thank dog....then again, people in my family lived to 93 and beyond. kill me now,

Why are barely any media reporting the name of one of the suicide bombers?

"There had seemed nothing remarkable about the man as he queued at the buffet, plate in hand. He had checked in the night before, giving his name as Mohamed Azzam Mohamed and a false address. "

Question of the hour r69 .. how cold blooded to wait in line for food with other people and blow yourself up and others.. how do they remain calm? Ice blood

[Quote] Why are barely any media reporting the name of one of the suicide bombers?

And are there only 70 replies here? Do we not care because it's was in Sri Lanka? WTF? Disgraceful!!!

R71, victims were Christians and terrorists were Muslims.

On CNN today they had an Irish reoprter in Northern Ireland reporting on the terror there (which was not Muslim ) but even he went on about "radical islamic terrorists" around the world and of course the anchor said nothing.

It’s almost supernatural the control Islam has on the world’s elites . Scary actually

Everyone should post the Guardian article on social media since they are the only ones admitting the truth

[quote]It’s almost supernatural the control Islam has on the world’s elites .

Not supernatural. Financial. All that oil money invested most advantageously in property, banking, donations to both left- and right-wing organizations and media, political donations, donations to top prestigious universities. It may help to keep in mind that Gulf despots have in the neighborhood of $75 trillion pounds invested in Britain alone.

[quote]Muslims make up much of the bourgeoisie and that tends to flame economic envy from the part of the Buddhist majority, as happened with Jews in Europe.

Rubbish! This is a conflict for power and control between the Sinhalese Buddhists and Tamil Hindus, with Muslims perceived by Sinhalese as siding with Tamil's because Muslims are of Tamil origin.

[quote]The fact that Muslims make up so much of the middle class explains why they refused to join the Hindu Tamil revolt against the Buddhist Singhalese.

Wrong! The fact is that Muslims have been very careful to reject any association with Tamil Hindus to maintain their separate identity and communal power.

The caution being exercised by British and other media to equate the bombers with Islam is bloody incredible. If you want to see a very VERY clear example of BBC self-censorship, and why it is not a trustworthy news source, this article is a shining example: "It remains unclear who was behind the attacks, but 24 arrests were made by police." (n.b. it may be updated by the time you click the link, but at the moment it disgracefully hasn't been.)

As DL would say: bitch, please! At least two of the names have been released and a video of one proclaiming his Christian bloodlust. Not to label this as muslim extremism at this point is exclusionist propaganda on a Stalinist level. And as dear Cersai would say: Shame! Shame! Shame!

R78, What do you think will be the reaction in Sri Lanka to this terrible tragedy?

R76, I find it almost diabolical how people believe the blatant islamic lies without a hint of cognitive dissonance. A prime example is the willingness of so many gays and lesbians to march and protest in support of muslims and muslim immigration. Or how non-muslims completely ignore the fact that their submission and murder are encouraged and sanctified by the islamic god in the islamic foundational texts....repeatedly....and muslims have done so joyously for 1,400 years.

R78 Just another day of The Guardian protecting their fetish.

^^^ The Beeb, not The Guardian^^^

R80 There aren't liberals out there who are pro-Islam, they are just against anti-Muslim bigotry. Right-wingers somehow think not hating Muslims means you support Islam...

R83 Wrong! Here's one "liberal" who defends and apologises (like you R83) for Muslims at every opportunity. Because he truly believes that it is "liberal" to defend and apologise for homo-hating, misogynist, authoritarian cultures and ideologies.

[quote]6 Churches in Sri Lanka Bombed in Sri Lanka...

Were they in Sri Lanka?

Did anyone claim responsibility?

Sorry, I was busy today and didn't have time to check headlines, I've only read that the cops were warned 10 days ago.

R84 I'm not apologizing for anybody, I'm just not an emotional creep who rushes to blame people.

r88 you are part of the problem.

R89 I'm not apart of any problem dear. Take a xanax.

[quote]I'm just not an emotional creep who rushes to blame people.

No, you'd much rather turn a blind eye, pretend, tie yourself in knots in denial rather than risk looking past your blinkers and seeing the attacks and terror occurring daily. Not acknowledging reality is its own creepy form of apology and protection.

[quote]6 Churches in Sri Lanka Bombed in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday

As opposed to the churches in Sri Lanka that were bombed in Italy?

It was Muslims again. How surprising!

Sri Lankan officials have blamed a little-known Islamist group called National Thowheed Jamaath (NTJ) for the terrorist attacks, adding that the organization had 'international help', raising fears that ISIS was involved.

Islamist extremist material has been recovered from a hotel room allegedly used by the suspects in the Sri Lanka hotel bombings, MailOnline can reveal.

Manisha Gunasekera, the Sri Lankan High Commissioner to the UK, has said eight British nationals were killed in the attacks. In total 39 foreigners have been confirmed dead including two joint UK-US nationals and a number of Dutch, Turkish, Australian and Portuguese people.

Also among the confirmed dead are a British BP lawyer, her 11-year-old son, and her daughter. Anita Nicholson was having breakfast with her family at the Shangri La hotel in Colombo when two suicide bombers walked in and blew themselves up.

Another two British teenagers are feared to be among the dead, but this has not been confirmed.

R86, R92 et al, I admit my editing error in the rush to create this thread. Sincerely appreciate your light touch to an otherwise horrifying subject matter.

Will the ASOS Billionaire and property owner take action due to the murder of his 3 children?

Thank you r91. You also forgot to add a delusional fucktard douche cunt to r88 list.

who the fuck goes to this shit hole for a vacation?

R99 - what a shithole comment by a shithole redneck.

Trace the money for the terrorists and I won't be shocked if it came from the Saudis.

Sri Lanka is even worse than India. R100, do you even know where the fuck that shit hole is? You probably never left you mommy's basement.

R100 - hi you 200-kg Hindu, Kali-worshipping shitholer. No place in the world is worse than India where people still shit to shitholes in the streets even in front of the Taj Hotel.

Let's talk about terrorism here. Or Is it India who supported these cuntface Muslim terrorists?

In 102, I meant R101 the obese Hindu shitholer.

While we argue which is worse, India or Sri Lanka, the media is busy hiding the fact that radical Islamic terrorists are responsible.

The story itself is getting nowhere near the coverage vs NZ massacre even though at least 5x more people were murdered on Easter .

exactly, r104.

Because nobody cares about third world countries... #coldhardtruth.

Right. The tsunami in the Indian Ocean got no coverage. None at all!

(Moron!)

"There is much soul searching in the press and social media of Muslim-majority countries about what might have led to the atrocity in Sri Lanka this past Easter Sunday. Perhaps, just perhaps, the questioning goes, there is something within Islam that must be acknowledged and addressed, a violent, hateful element that must be addressed. Millions of Muslims are are wearing crucifixes in solidarity with their Catholic neighbors and as a statement that killing of innocent infidels will not be tolerated.

There is an outpouring of support in many Islamic countries, impromptu memorials at Christian churches in many of these countries. This Sunday, at precisely the moment of the first detonation by the Islamic suicide bomber, Saudi Arabia will begin a moment of silence followed by a live TV and radio broadcast of Cecilia Bartoli singing Schubert's Ave Maria, accompanied by the National Orchestra of Saudi Arabia."

LOL, R108.

What has AOC or Omar said on this yet? Probably turning Muslims into the victims of ......... say it all together now..."Islamophobia!"

Seriously have they commented?

[quote]What has AOC or Omar said on this yet?

Silence. As expected.

If Christians had slaughtered 300 innocent people on Ramadan, the liberal Muslim buttboys would be beside themselves. Benefits against “racism”, demonstrations against “Islamophobia”; a masturbatory orgy of virtue signaling.

As always, when the religion of “peace” sheds blood and tears bodies apart, the regressive liberal assholes have nothing to say but the predictable #notallmuslims #itsallthewestsfaultalways.

Another bomb went off today in a van and still no one cares.

[quote]Because the West doesn't care what Brown people do to each other... #coldhardtruth.

Fixed.

Fuckin animals....God bless those people killed, hurt and their families

R113, that's nonsense. The family members of the deceased and wounded certainly care.

[quote]Failure to act On Monday the Sri Lankan government admitted that it failed to act on multiple warnings before a coordinated series of attacks ripped through churches and hotels on Easter Sunday, adding that an international terror group might be to blame.

A government spokesman, Rajitha Senaratne, revealed that warnings were received in the days before the attacks, which killed 310 people and injured at least 500 more, including from foreign intelligence services.

He said one of the warnings referred to National Tawheed Jamath, or NTJ, a little-known local Islamist group that defaced Buddhist statues in the past. But Senaratne, who is also health minister, said he did not believe a local group could have acted alone.

"There must be a wider international network behind it," he said.

No group has yet claimed responsibility.

The United States believes it has identified a key terrorist operative in the attacks, and has initially concluded that the person has connections to international terrorism organizations, including ISIS, two US officials directly familiar with the initial US intelligence assessment said.

These connections are a key reason the US has come to an early conclusion the attacks were inspired by ISIS, according to one of the two officials. For now, the US is trying to figure out just how involved ISIS may have been in facilitating the attacks, the official said.

Celebration...

W&W for r108.

So, who was stupid enough to think it was Buddhists who did it?

'Liberals' with an undying love for Islam, R120.

A British reality TV star sparked outrage by urging people not to send “prayers” to victims of the Sri Lanka terror attacks — instead attacking Christian missionaries in the devastated nation as being “cult leaders.”

Andy West, who found fame in 2016 on the UK’s Big Brother, sent the controversial tweet about the suicide bombings that killed at least 321 and injured 500.

“There is no excuse for terror attacks against innocent people but as a journalist I saw Western Christian missionaries unscrupulpusly [sic] converting Buddhist orphans for food and shelter after the Asian tsunami. Don’t send your prayers,” he wrote.

He was met with a furious backlash, with one Twitter user calling on West to “have some decency.”

“Delete this and never even think to say anything this callous ever again,” another told him.

However, the 34-year-old star, who is now a TV and radio broadcaster, defended his position in further messages, at one point attacking ‘”Christian cult leaders in Sri Lanka.”

“So prayers aren’t needed. In fact prayers are proven beyond doubt to have no effect. What might help, however, is ending the Western campaign to convert people of other religions in exchange for charity,” he wrote.

He seemed to enjoy his newfound infamy.

“I’m pleased to have so many angry right wing American Christian zealots commenting here but the least they could do is gimme a follow and a retweet,” he wrote.

R112, nails it

I'm tired of liberals manipulating the truth or omitting important facts just to show that muslims aren't terrorists. If Islam doesn't have a terrorism problem, then ALL the facts should reveal that it doesn't.

The New Zealand attacks got so much more attention. What’s the difference?

[Quote] The New Zealand attacks got so much more attention. What’s the difference?

No difference at all but here at the DL the death cult members who post here and their fetish seekers think it perfectly great. They have no response because they approve. Pathetic.

The left do the devil’s bidding. The T will always take precedence over GLB and they are all about lawlessness in major cities

[quote]If Islam doesn't have a terrorism problem, then ALL the facts should reveal that it doesn't.

Let that sink in; if there isn't a problem coming from that sector of the population, then there's nothing wrong with careful scrutiny of the facts,, right?

AND - if there IS a problem coming from that sector of the population, then careful scrutiny of the facts is both warranted and welcome, right? 😁

bump.

........well? Come on, people.

Right on cue.....

Getting real.

I'm tired of liberals manipulating the truth or omitting important facts just to show that muslims aren't terrorists.

If we are going to discuss and condemn the conversion history of Christians then perhaps we need to discuss and condemn the conversion history of Muslims. The Islamic history is rife with genocidal and convert-or-die conversion activities.

Should we discuss the Armenian genocide by the Islamic Turks?

How did Muslims get to be so favorted by liberals? Everything they stand for is against typical progressive though: women's rights, LGBT rights, religious pluralism etc.

Because they are mostly non Caucasian, and many of their countries were colonized by Europeans.

[Quote] How did Muslims get to be so favorted by liberals?

Because PC thought process invaded rational good people starting in the 1990's. I fell for it but then realized these death cult members want ME off the planet FIRST!

[quote]Because they are mostly non Caucasian, and many of their countries were colonized by Europeans.

Neither is true.

Arabs are caucasian. And Arabs/Muslims actually colonized way more than they were colonized. Most of North Africa, Pakistan, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Spain.......... learn some history dude.

read and learn

visual

Doesn’t matter, r141. A large number of Muslim countries were, at one time or another, colonized by Europeans.

There are more Muslims in “brown” and “black” regions than in Arab countries.

[quote]Doesn’t matter, [R141]. A large number of Muslim countries were, at one time or another, colonized by Europeans.

So the Muslims get a pall for COLONIZATION but evil Europeans don't??

Right....

get a "pass" ^^

Oh look! People are waking up in the middle east right now! Fun!

I didn’t post they should get a pass r145.

Isn't it just male supremacy worship?

R148 you said "it didn't matter" implying that it's OK for Muslims to colonize and moreso, that it was not only wrong for Europe to do it but it somehow justifies Muslim terrorism

It doesn’t matter in terms of why SJW give Muslims a pass. That was the question.

Well that just shows how fucked up SJWs are. They claim "colonization" is bad but don't care if Muslims did it/do it too.

Hypocrite much?

r152 ALL SJW are hypocrites! That is all the are !
