How come explosions are never heard at mosques?

Maybe no one wants to be called a racist, or a hater. 😁🤣

I was just about to say about the same thing you did.

The Tamils ....Hindu mostly....were masters of terrorism

That civil war is one place that Buddhists bared their teeth and crushed their enemy eventually and brought them to heel

Burma too ...Buddhists who kill

Freepers have erroneous views on Buddhists and Hindu and Sikhs like they are pacifists...nope

Still could this be jihadi Muslim thst maybe exists in Ceylon’s small Muslim community

Yes it could apparently a fairly new Islamist sect there..

But they are not the only terrorists on Ceylon are they

Hat tip X he was on the informed page too like you

Sri Lanka has some very nasty Hindu as well

Some of the worst terrorists of the last century

If Christians are only 10% of the population, what is to be gained politically? Seems like just pure hate.

Checked DU - as expected, just one thread with four posts. As expected.

Had a mosque being attacked in the same city by someone with an AR-15 carrying a US passport, you would have seen multiple threads with over a hundred posts each.

Tells me all I need to know about DU, and why we should never listen to the Libs.

Oh dear Pres Trump tweeted “Heartfelt condolences from the people of the United States to the people of Sri Lanka on the horrible terrorist attacks on churches and hotels that have killed at least 138 million(sic) people and badly injured 600 more. We stand ready to help!

Christians get their compassion mixed up with common sense. Many believers are so blinded, they think they can cure this evil that exists. It needs to be eradicated

Muslim terror group identified as cause of blasts in Sri Lanka...police gave warning about 10 days ago...

Excerpt: “According to reports, Sri Lanka’s police chief made a nationwide alert 10 days before today’s bomb attacks in the country that Islamic extremist suicide bombers planned to hit ‘prominent churches’.

Police chief Pujuth Jayasundara sent an intelligence warning to top officers on April 11 setting out the threat, sources say.

‘A foreign intelligence agency has reported that the NTJ (National Thowheeth Jama’ath) is planning to carry out suicide attacks targeting prominent churches as well as the Indian high commission in Colombo,’ said the alert.

The NTJ is a radical Muslim group in Sri Lanka that came to notice last year when it was linked to the vandalisation of Buddhist statues.”

Little do they understand they cannot harm us. By killing us they just send us straight into the arms of the One who died to save us. So thankful to the Risen Lamb that we are eternally secure and that can never be taken away

That hardly seems fair. They get to go Home, and I’m still stuck here. :-)

Thank you for putting this in the proper perspective.

Sri Lanka attacks: 190 killed, 500 injured in eight explosions

https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/Flash.aspx/455166

Enough of this sh!t. Third world countries look to the West for help, and the West does nothing but spout platitudes and stick its head up its a$$, while the third world countries are under never-ending assault by Islamofascist douchebags. DO something. Putting ISIS to flight was just a beginning.
