Sri Lankan attacks 'retaliation for Christchurch': ministerSri Lanka’s deadly Easter Sunday bombings were carried out to avenge the Christchurch mosque shootings, the country's deputy defence minister says. The bombings were the work of subhumans who are not wanted on earth. 😳 The people who murder people in a place of worship are those possessed by evil. They attempt to create sectarian wars, hide behind Islam/Zionism/other extremes, call themselves salafist/jihadists, yet they fail jihad via murder of innocent people & work with anti-Christ. Yes, Of coarse they'll want to blame others for their own evil deeds

Sri Lankan attacks 'retaliation for Christchurch': ministerSri Lanka’s deadly Easter Sunday bombings were carried out to avenge the Christchurch mosque shootings, the country's deputy defence minister says. MattWadeSMH There is always going to be a retaliatory excuse. Islam is nothing but an excuse for hate. People of islam should consider removing themselves from this demon infected movement. For their own inner humanity and contentment. MattWadeSMH Islamic Supremacists killing Christians in retaliation for a White Supremacist killing Muslims MattWadeSMH So, their hatred of Christians is now obvious to the whole world. The Christchurch murderer was not a Christian. Muslims just historically hate Jews and Christians. It's in their book. The reality is out in sight

'United we stand': Melbourne's Sri Lankan community gathers to pay respectsMembers of Melbourne's large Sri Lankan community came together in grief and disbelief on Monday as they tried to comprehend the horror of the terror attacks that have claimed at least 290 lives. Prayers again what good does praying to a fairy story do if there ever was a god isn't this his doing Wouldn't it be great to see Melbourne's Muslim leaders & community speak out in support of your Sri Lankan community like the rest of the world did after the Christchurch attacks? It appears this is just another case of Muslims having no respect or tolerance for the others. Praying, that’ll help! Seems to have done the trick after every other attack!

Suspicion falls on Sri Lankan Islamist groupNational Thowheeth Jama'ath is a little-known group that security experts said promotes Islamist terrorist ideology. Why not round them last week and take them to the 4th Floor, CID Building?..🤔 That would have sorted them out.😎👍 quaedvliegs SriLankaAttacks srilanka auspol Looks like the people in the intelligence services were working closely with the opposition RajapaksaNamal PresRajapaksa GotabayaR MaithripalaS. Which is why this was not shared with the government and let it happen for their political gains. This is not just 'attacks', these are 'Terrorist Attacks', and they have been done by 'Muslims', the same community that you wrote dozens of articles to show your sympathy with, after NZ 'terrorist attack'. Be fair, be professional and be a real media, not a news agency!
