ISIS claims responsibility for Sri Lanka attacks 'that targeted members of the US-led coalition and Christians'ISIS has claimed responsibility for terror attacks in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday. MRobertsQLD What's your point, Malcolm? Extremists were responsible for the Sri Lanka attacks, just like extremists were responsible for the Christchurch attacks, just like extremists are responsible for ALL terrorist attacks. Who cares which religion they claim to follow? Weird. I thought Trump and the Right Wing cheerleaders were claiming they’d “crushed ISIS”. They'll claim anything now

Sri Lanka social media shutdown raises fears on free expressionSri Lanka's decision to block social media following deadly suicide attacks highlights a growing distrust of online platforms, but critics said the move is likely to restrict the flow of important news and information as well as abusive content. Also makes it harder to get in contact with love ones to ensure they’re safe. Censorship or have we come full circle to see this as necessary for security following attacks? But not using platforms to reassure loved ones we are safe is against initial purpose of internet itself which was to provide comms network in time of war with systems down.. Article should also mentioned: (1) there are no Sinhala speakers at social media co.s, so they can't censor content, even algorithmically. (2) the recent use of social media to arrange lynch mobs against Tamil Muslims.

Sri Lanka bombing ‘revenge for NZ attack’Sri Lanka’s defence minister says the Easter Sunday massacre was retaliation for the New Zealand mosque shootings as the death toll from the bombings hits 321. SriLankaTerrorAttack I wonder if we got rid of religion would the bombings stop. Or would they make up some other trivial social custom over which to kill people. There is a serious level of insanity in the human race. A bit hard to plan all this, make all the bombs and fuses in such a shot time. Maybe they are distracting, because of their stupid, biggest blunder of not protecting the christians from the islamic terrorists.
