Muslim shops in Sri Lanka attacked as tensions remain after Easter Sunday bombings

Colombo, Sri Lanka Violence erupted in a Sri Lankan town bombed on Easter Sunday after a largely Catholic mob attacked Muslim-owned shops and a vehicle -- prompting church authorities to call for calm and no further hostilities against Muslims in the area.

A minor riot broke out Sunday in Porutota village near Negombo after a dispute between a Muslim tuk tuk driver and a group of Catholics, who wanted to inspect the vehicle, an army intelligence source told CNN. The source requested anonymity as they were not authorized to speak to media about the case. The argument over the tuk tuk descended into violence and dozens of rioters rampaged through the streets that evening, the source said.

Videos of the incident seen by CNN showed a street of the coastal town littered with debris and a number of men brandishing sticks.

When you get punished for something you didn’t do! Sad

Terrorist have no religion.

And?

Sad.

Religion wars are loading..

এখন সব দোষ মুসলিমদে! এদের থেকে কুকুরের বিবেক-বিচার অনেক উন্ন!

This news is fake. It was reported that a heated argument between two parties had erupted over an accident involving two motorcycles and a trishaw.

predictable 😶

all this violence, killing and fighting for what is essentially a story book fairy tale.

And the Sri Lankan Govt is doing nothing to protect these innocent Muslims?

About damn time people started to rise up and rout out the evil.

'For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.' -- Matthew 6:14-15 Lord Jesus Christ

Small scale; probably their own, making it look like opposition, so they can kill and then point their ugly finger.

Jews, Christians and Muslims are supposed to know and keep The Ten Commandments. Violence is not Christian and there is a great need for pornography not to be there and there is no such thing as Christian pornography , pornography is not Christian.

IndiainSL we need to put extra efforts of spread teachings of Mahatma Gandhis 'Non-voilance, pleace & love'. It will be real tribute to him.

Please all off you, should watch trilogy of The Legend of Condor Heroes, The Return of Condor Heroes and Heavenly Sword Dragon Slaying Saber Revenge is not the solution ...

Well that happens doesn't it. 300 families are pissed off because their families were blown up.

CNN fake news

This shop has been destroyed due to a motor vehicle accident and do not destroy propaganda and destroy Sri Lanka.

DVATW how is this

Complo awful!!

Revenge! ain't good please stop it you can't fight evil with evil

One of the peaceful State is getting the burns of Terrorism!!

The moderate Muslim has to rise up against radicals else they will be seen as supporting them. For far too long they have resisted that and let terrorists off the hook.

Awful!
