Sri Lanka terror attack

[theleader82]

There is a major terro incident in Colombo with a number of hotels and Catholic Churches being bombed. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-asia-48002165 . A terrible thing to happen on Easter Sunday. Sri Lanka has been relatively peaceful in recent years. It's meant to be a beautiful country

Churches eh?
That'll be the scourge of modern times - the right wingers.

Someone must have left the gas on removed the no smoking sign.

No mention of it on BBC but NY times says in small print at the bottom of the page that it was a Moslem group. Obviously this simply can't be the case, but I wonder what made the, say such a racist thing ?

[paolo]

that's right.....blame the muslims


in addition, the right must not attack mosques on rammadan

[paolo]

will the 'Slims start wearing crosses, and welcoming 'change'

will they mirror the disgusting fawning perpetrated by the crazy kiwi governement?

will the media coverage be the same as the nz shootings?

Western political appeasers of radical Islamism aligned to the left are far more dangerous than your average bunch of Muslims.

[paolo]

it's pretty dispicable of you to automaticLLY blame this religious attack on religious venues on the muslims

this could have been bhuddists

sikhs

hindus

branch davidians

if i could pretend the religion of peace is indeed a race, i may call you a racist

Wish I'd bought shares in tea-lights, candles and EU flags.
At least your kids will no longer get free Lego toys in the Daily Mail. That will stop the hate.

Just noticed that despite a Moslem group being named all over the world press, the BBC are still claiming on their red button service that they have no idea who was responsible .
Like a lot of other things, it's becoming the stuff of an insane asylum at this stage.

They used to speak of a set of common shared values, which has long gone but we don't even have a set of common shared reality any more.

bbc.co.uk last night:

"What's known about the attackers?
It remains unclear who was behind the attacks and no information has been given on the identity of the 24 people arrested.

However, the BBC's Azzam Ameen in Colombo says the bombers are thought to be part of a "radical extremist Islamist group" according to authorities."

i thought we would see muslims around the world walking around with a cross


tumbleweed

biggest group of religious nuts there are bhuddists

The silence of condemnation of terror attacks by Muslims is about as deafening as it was for the IRA scum in certain quarters. It even took until 2017 for the leader of the opposition to begrudgingly admit that the IRA were terrorists.

It’s almost as if the global response is not as arse lickingly similar as the vile me to shire from nz

It's been well noted and comparisons of rhetoric made.

NZ: We must stand together in global unity with all muslims, mosques with extra police, stamp out this hate. Wear a hijab in solidarity.
SL: Don't mention Christians, call them Easter worshippers. Condolences. Nothing else.

Obama and Clinton demonstrating it perfectly.
