Every religion has extremists and radical turds.
Just that some religions tend to have more than others.

Tin foil says political, "religious radicals" will get blamed.
So basically it was all done by suicide bombers. That is, attackers with explosives attached to their person. Sounds like the Muslims to me. I could be wrong, but that does seem to be the modus operandi of the Islamic militants.

Per Ardua ad Astra
I just read this and saw this.
I think Sri Lanka most like have to reveal who is behind this attack,because there were numbers of foreigners who died from this attack.
As the Guardian points out, the practice of blocking social media sites following these types of events is becoming more and more normal:
The social media blackout is becoming a common occurrence in the region in the aftermath of violence. In March last year, the Sri Lankan government banned Facebook and other social media sites after reports of an attack on a Buddhist temple in Abathanna triggered deadly anti-Muslim riots across Kandy, in which hundreds of homes and businesses were destroyed by hardline Buddhist groups.
Intelligence estimates of religion in Sri Lanka. I would say the Muslims attacked the Catholics to try and divide the Buddhists. Buddhism is the official religion of Sri Lanka.
"Buddhist (official) 70.2%, Hindu 12.6%, Muslim 9.7%, Roman Catholic 6.1%, other Christian 1.3%, other 0.05% (2012 est.)"

Read this morning that the death toll is up to 290. Such a sad situation.
Liberals never met a slippery slope they didn't grease.

I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

Still parsing the very particular reaction to this...
This was just a sample, there are many more. There's two interesting things here...
1. They will not use the word "Christian" to admit this attack was targeted and likely perpetrated by their allies (Islam)
2. They found some incredibly abstract language in place of "Christian" that somehow got coordinated very quickly over the weekend. "Easter worshippers?" No one is worshipping Easter. People might have been killed while worshipping at Easter service/mass. But why would the Left that sees identity in everything leave out identity?
And just a comparison of the top two Liberal voices in America to head off the typical responses...

Always eat the vegans first
Also noticed the media keeps trying to pin it on "ISIS fanatics" or "al Qaeda" terrorists, though none have yet taken responsibility.
Avoiding mention of "Muslims" or "Islam" - as if they are completely separate entities from the above.

The Democrats have run off of "talking points" for a looong time. They all get on the same message using the same terms. It's posturing from an organized collective.
Honestly, it's also something that makes me question their sincerity.

It is probably DNC approved term they made up. "Easter Worshipper." No one in this world worship a day of Easter. Christian and Carholic worship a risen on the day of Easter.
It is like saying "Ramadan worshipper."
"Buddahs b-day worshipper."
I ve seen Clinton's and Obama's going to church on Sunday on a TV. What a fakers.
