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 ..

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.

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.
