Fuck religion🖕

Prayers for those affected by this horrible terrorism.

Christians targeted the world over, but this will be forgotten in a couple of days. Like the church bombings in The Philippines. Ppl probably waiting to see who claims responsibility before calling for marches in support of that community in fear of a backlash that never comes.

I hope you are giving this 24/7 coverage..like you did for NewZealandTerroristAttack

How convenient! Mainstream media pushing a holy war agenda. WWG1WGA YellowVests QAnon together we are strong!

Hope .SadiqKhan is going to put extra security around churches now.

Waking up to this terrible news on Easter Sunday . Just horrendous, thoughts with all families friends involved

Awful news. So sad x

Christianophobia.

If €1billion can be raised in a week for a new roof, imagine how much money the billionaires will offer for the loss of so many lives !!!

Sad to hear about the blasts in Sri Lanka. Terrorisrs have no religion. The people of Pakistan stand with the peace loving citizens of Sri_Lanka.

easter of all days-the pervers beliefs of evil

At least 50 killed. That is horrendous

Unlikely to be atheist bombers.

BRITAIN IS ARRESTING CHRISTIANS IN THE NEW ISLAMIC STATE OF BRITAIN

PROTECT OUR CHURCHES

Within minutes of NZ attack MPS, and Khan scream their outrage. Yet even more churches have been attacked. Whilst they stay silent, condemnation, and extreme outrage missing. Sadly some of us expected exactly this lowlife gutless scum both attackers & those who'd screamed so loud

Please help and pray guys.i'm sri lankan.bombs have every church...but blasted 3 church bombs have more church

Major major down playing of this incident going on .

There were several explosions in Colombo pls keep people in colomboinformed bbc news team , pls keep covering

This is sad. It’s Easter, a Holy time for Christians. I hope there are no casualties/ fatalities.

Sounds horrible, do not really want to comment but thoughts and prayers for the families and whatever kind of churches these are.

BBCWorld were they possibly lymphoblasts?

It seems the Christian community around the world are under attack for some reason, by some sectors of society.

Matthew 5 v 10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Kk ... The world shoukd now take action
