Explosions at churches and hotels in Sri Lanka

[Xadufell]

I guess some people did something

[Nerovia]

Death toll is now at 207. The Prime Minister is concerned this could trigger instability and destroy the country’s economy. 3 police officers killed during a raid outside of Colombo. The country is currently under de facto martial law.

Looks like the long feared World War III is coming. Attacks on places of worship feels like the first major signs of this.

Terrorists are those who betray worshippers in their places of worship, plant fear in their hearts and try to ignite religious conflicts in societies. Our condolences to the people of Sri Lanka, to the world and to everyone who works tirelessly towards tolerance and coexistence.

Ohh the irony. This is too much.
“everyone who works tirelessly towards tolerance and coexistence”
Well that obviously exclude the terror funding Wahhabi extremist gay murdering dissidents torturing theocrats that are the Saudi Governments.

Want more tolerance and coexistence? Then disband the House of Saud.

Didn't the Second World War start this way?

Two Turkish citizens also died.

Methinks he is the vice president of the UAE and ruler of Dubai.

THANK YOU! I rechecked the news I am reading and it still says "Saudi Arabian Vice President"…
I apologise for misleading everyone!

Source?
The twitter account mentioned a place name "Dubai, UAE" but since I'm not a twitter user, I have no idea if it's only showing the place where you are currently staying or the others.

Edit: It'd be pretty interesting if Saudi Arabian actually has a vice president.

Oh well it says Saudi Arabia in the post, the post was misleading.

Still Dubai is hardly a good example of tolerance and coexistence. Better than most others in the region but that is not saying much.
It is still an Islamist apartheid state that tramples religious, personnel and political freedom.
Just not nearly as harshly.

Dubai is still a nasty piece of work.

[Tinhampton]

Some British citizens have been affected. Nobody knows anything else about what's happened to them.

No, you were correct. I sent an email to the news organisation about that.

While I do agree with you everything you say and see that you have 7 billion people, I don't want you to get banned, so be careful in what you say. I've got nothing to lose if I do get banned, but you have worked hard. It doesn't matter on this forum whether or not you are right or wrong. I do think that forums shouldn't have moderators, but everything should be decided by the AI. I am not sure if it's a good idea in the beginning, since humans are more subjective, but we'll get there someday

Thank you for telling me what you think. It means a lot. Much appreciated!

He’s not gonna be banned for stating the truth.

[Guelder]

A few posts ago you said something different

And I said it again. Islam needs reforms nor is it peaceful. If you want to talk about it then send me a telegram. I don't mind.

I meant the thing you said about Muslims, and no I don't feel the need to sneakily speaking crap about Muslims

Condolences to the victims and their friends and families, and may the attacker(s) be punished for their acts.

They probably will be. Punishments in such countries are very harsh as far as I know.

[Zizou]

This is absolutely horrifying. It takes another level of evil to be willing to blow up churches and kill people on a religious holiday.

[Samudera Darussalam]

Ah, okay then.

It is. Sometimes people don't care that what they did, in case like this, is going to affect a lot of others.

[Deutschess Kaiserreich]

My biggest concern is whether retaliation for this attack will happen and on what scale?

I am sorry for misleading everybody, but it was the Vice President of the United Arab Emirates who said it. Once again, I apologise. The news I was reading was wrong.

The attacks on tourists and Easter worshippers in Sri Lanka are an attack on humanity. On a day devoted to love, redemption, and renewal, we pray for the victims and stand with the people of Sri Lanka.

[Havarland]

It's still not clear who was behind Sunday's bombings.

What is apparent, is that these coordinated Easter Sunday attacks -- carried out at eight sites, including churches and hotels across Sri Lanka -- were targeted at Christians celebrating one of their holiest days of the year.

The blasts also come a month before Sri Lanka is due to mark the 10-year anniversary of the end of its civil war in 2009.
