Sri Lanka Easter Sunday Bomb Blasts

[Two Gun Bob]

Which is true. They were targeted for being at a hotel therefore to describe it as an attack on “Christians” in the hotel would be wholly wrong. They were not there because they were Christian.

I guess we will not know the truth until the truth comes out in the wash. I have to go now and hope you had a brilliant Easter ..

 

[Blumers Bloomers]

I see a man originally from Sale has been named as one of the victims. Brings it all the closer to home.

And as for the guy who has lost his wife and his two children .....how do you even start to rebuild your life? Just horrific

Have muslims admitted this then?

Not yet but the government are blaming a jihadist group called National Thowheed Jamath based on intelligence sources. There’s currently no reason to doubt this but if things change I’m sure we’ll find out.

Have muslims admitted this then?

The Sri Lankan security services have stated the name of the group they believe responsible. It’s a page or so back. Surprised you couldn’t find it if you can find obscure tweets about Hilary Clinton’s semantics.

Every single hotel goer could have been Christian (which they weren’t) and it would have been pot luck. The hotel attacks had nothing to do with targeting Christians.

They targeted humans. Holidaying humans. Working humans. Anyone that happened to be at breakfast. The young. The old. Christians. Muslims. Buddhists.

Not quite.

If it was this National Thoweed group, they seem to be ISIS driven which is essential a islam/muslim based terrorist group. If So, their aim was probably to blow up anyone who wasn't a muslim. Those muslims they did blow up would be considered collateral damage and worthy of the cause.

or something fucking crazy like that. Hard to know how these extreme groups really think tbh.

That’s exactly the point I just made. They targeted people in the hotels. They didn’t give a fuck who they killed as they are/were brainwashed Islamist arseholes.

If attacks happened on the 25th December and it was described as an attack on Christmas worshippers, would you still have the same feeling of distaste?

She described it exactly as it was, an attack on worshippers, at Easter. I really don’t see what the fuss is.

And even then, she’s OTT in my opinion as half the people that died had fuck all to do with Christ.

I think that's right, and how I read it.
I do think it's fair to describe them as 'Easter worshippers' as churches were attacked, and 'travelers' as top end hotels were attached. I think it's fair to say that they were the two main sets of targets.

Just read his statement. Absolutely heartbreaking. Not sure you could ever recover from that.

Isis target muslims who do not follow their sect of the muslim religion as much as they target Christians or any other form of infidel.

However it is time the world inluding the UK stopped pussy footing and cow towing to the pc brigade. The biggest threat of terrorism and loss of life is a muslim problem. Yes there was the NZ nut but his actions were the actions of a sick individual.

Will we react in the same way here a we did to the NZ attack? Will there be extra police guarding churches as there were mosques after that attack?

Ir is a tragedy every time a life is lost to these evil people whatever persuasion they are but Pc and the left in this country aid and abet the jihadists.

You work your bollocks off all your life,with the aim of having a wonderfully well earnt retirement,and fate goes and deals a hand like that.....

Devastatingly sad and unfair.

Indeed mate that’s why I’ll go as soon as soon as I can and enjoy mine as much as possible.

What is the point of this ?
Pure hatred, or an attempt to cause a divide in cultures?

Hey there blues, I'm Samaru from Sri Lanka and I'm the Chairman of MCFC Supporters Club Sri Lanka. We have a huge fan base for City here and just wanted you all to know we all are safe. Unfortunately few of our friends have died in these blasts. It's a tragedy and 2 days later the country is still in shell shock. I just wanted to apologize and send my condolences as a Sri Lankan to all the foreigners who were killed specially Billy Harrop and his wife Sally from Manchester who passed away. We all are heart broken :(

Our thoughts are with you Samaru,these are incredibly difficult and sad times we live in.

The scummy cvnts responsible are pure filth that do not deserve to exist in our society.......you are obviously a very decent man,so please understand,you have nothing to apologise for.

Stay strong and please accept my deepest sympathy for the devastation and loss you are all suffering x

You shouldn’t need to apologise Samaru. You’re not to blame for these sick individuals that are like a cancer around the world. I flew back from Colombo after a wonderful week in Unawatuna on the 12th April.

It’s a beautiful country with fantastic people and I’m truly sorry for all those affected by these cowardly attacks. My thoughts are with you and your countrymen.
