Explosions at churches and hotels in Sri Lanka

I think we may be missing the obvious. Perhaps it was an Islamist attack by foreign-trained radicals who came into Sri Lanka to stir shit up.

But we're all hypothesising, and we ought to wait till the Sri Lankan government confirms who the suspects are. Until then, my prayers to those who lost their lives, who were injured and their families.

Well, I found this: “Two of the six attacks that rocked Sri Lanka this morning are reportedly to be have been carried out by suicide bombers. The attack at Shangri La hotel was carried out by suicide bomber Zahran Hashim, while Abu Mohammad has been identified as the attacker at the Batticalao church."

Shame that you keep living in denial and call such serious issues that caused this terror attack an anecdote. It's not the first time it has happened and such attacks have been more frequent since 2015. It's up to muslims to reform their religion and if they won't then it will happen more frequently in the future. That's what I am worried about. You can keep denying, but my generalisations aren't based on anecdotes and so far you haven't proven me wrong.
May God bless you and remember that Jesus died for your sins. Happy Easter and I hope all of the victims are in better place now. Such a tragedy to die on such an important day for Christians. I will pray for all the Christians around the world because now it's the only thing I can do.

So we're in denial because we're refusing to blame a group that's not been proven to be responsible for the attacks?

Apparently not generalizing an entire people as evil because of his unsubstantiated stories is being in denial. Regardless, best not to bother acknowledging it anymore anyway. As for the topic, I really dont see it being Islamic extremists behind the attack. It just seems very uncharacteristic given the relations between Christian's and muslims in Sri Lanka.

No, sir! I was talking about the past attack.
So far I really haven't found out who the attackers were, but I guess we'll find it out soon. Some nation already posted their names, but I haven't seen any names yet.

That came from a random indian news channel before even the sri lankan police or anything announced stuff. I'm very sceptical of it.

How were they able to identify suicide bombers so quickly? Seems somewhat suspect.

Perhaps CCTV footage or eyewitness reports?

Maybe they caught one of the perpetrators’ associates alive and he ‘fessed up. Unless the authorities have a reason to suspect these two and were watching them. All speculation on my part, of course. We’ll have to wait for the investigation.

[Nea Videssos]

I suppose we'll have to wait for further details and verification, but with what I've read so far, I'd say it's probably an Islamic terrorist attack. Of course, at this stage there's probably going to be various unsubstantiated rumours getting jumped on by various media outlets online.

Possibly, but that still seems rather quick they were able to go through eyewitnesses and/or obtain CCTV footage and get a positive ID.

The death toll is ever higher than we believed - Trump tweets it is 138 million people.

138 million people dead.

Well I was wondering how long it would take for him to bumble in on this and do something monumentally stupid.

There have been issues before and tensions have been on the rise. The police chief also gave a warning 10 days before the attacks. Mostly there have been issues between Buddhists and Christians and Muslims, however, lately the tensions have been on the rise between Muslims and Christians as well.

I can find many articles on tensions rising between all the religious groups as far as back 2014.

Some people say that we shouldn't pay any attention to any terror attacks as it only fuels the terrorists. What do you think?

Awful entrance -- awful portent --

[Minzerland II]

Oh no, Trump wrote ‘million’.

I'm mostly seeing evidence of issues between the the Buddhist and Muslim community, but nothing about tensions or issues between the Christian and Muslim communities. The incident you linked to itself is about Muslims and Buddhists.

[Costa Fierro]

Fucking weird dude. Afaik ISIS has never been active in the region and this would be a seriously big comeback for someone like AQ.

There's a few Islamist groups operating out of Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh.

Before judging others, you should take a look into the mirror.
It was obviously just a typo and such things happen. Trump is a very intelligent man and has achieved much more than you ever will. If it would've happened to someone else you wouldn't have said a word nor expressed yourself in such way.

While true, you would think if they were the perpetrators they would target Buddhist places as revenge for the rise in Buddhist attacks on muslims, not churches.

Yes, because I didn't link everything. I linked what might have caused such terror attack

/// There have been members of ISIS from Sri Lanka. You never know. We'll find out soon.

Trump has straight up made up terrorist attacks in the past, and the Mueller report is very explicit that one of the only reasons he isn't on charges is because he was too stupid to commit the crimes he was accused of.

"Very intelligent man" he is not.

[Nea Videssos]

138 million people dead.

Closest way to justify that would perhaps be if it was in reference to the number of Indians killed during various Islamic invasions over the past thousand years, though that's a long-term thing that people wouldn't really have decent figures for. Unlikely he was thinking about that, though.

Oh wow he has made more money then I will and is famous. He is immune to any criticisms from us lowly peasants. You would think someone so intelligent would take the time to make sure he didnt mess up anything, especially when addressing a tragedy such as this and putting it out to the public, and when he is the President of the United states. But apparently I cant point such things out, he has more money and fame than I do.
