scottmclean seanhannity dbongino DonaldJTrumpJr TuckerCarlson Advice for FakeNewsCNN - Watch FoxNews and you will learn the truth that IslamicTerrorist carried out attacks in Sri Lanka
scottmclean So when is your fake news going to actually name the terrorist organization responsible so that retribution can be made? or are you too chicken or Politically correct to identify the radicals' religion?

scottmclean Christians attacked by Islamic terrorists.
scottmclean where is your outrage against islam you had now problem blaming white people for NZ
scottmclean When can we call a spade a spade and just call Islam out for the garbage religion it is. Read the Quaran, Mohammed is a dirt bag, and in no way shape or form spiritual.
scottmclean They banned types of guns in New Zealand. They should ban bombs in Sri Lanka.
scottmclean I am wondering which God supports this suicide bombing concept? Surely not the God of Moses who said Numbers 35' 20 If he pushes him out of hatred or, while lying in wait, hurls something at him so that he dies, 21 or in enmity he strikes him with his hand so that he dies,
scottmclean “People” = Christians You know like when you correctly defined the Muslims that were murdered in New Zealand. You are the dividers. YouAreTheEnemy
scottmclean Sri Lanka must take all measures, to eliminate the terror group which carried out this carnage. Forget Humans Rights issues, just identify & kill, within Sri Lanka & abroad.

scottmclean It's strange that 'some people did something' and the racist IlhanMN still hasn't condemned the islamic supremacist quran inspired terrorism..
scottmclean The media won’t say “Islamic radicalism” like they did “white nationalism “ because they hold westernerers to a higher moral standard. This explains the lack of outrage compared to Christchurch. Kind of racist.
scottmclean according to European news it was ISLAM TERRORIST, looks like IlhanMN WORDS OF HATE IS SPREADING

Caliphate idols of Jama'at al-Tawhid ( National Tawhid Jama'at ) linked to IS launched well co-ordinate retaliatory attacks now in Sri Lanka where security preventive measures were so relaxed .. Seemingly, the culprits also wanted to create a tension between ☸️ and ✝️ in LK .. Warm condolences to not only the Christians, but to humanity as well! Interesting that the Notre Dame fire elicited a more emotional and overwrought response - at least on Twitter- than almost 300 dead in the Sri Lanka terrorist outrage. We live in puzzling times.

Sri Lanka Easter Bombings Kill at Least 290; Several Americans DeadA series of blasts tore through churches and international hotels in Sri Lanka on Easter morning, killing at least 290 people and wounding more than 400 in what appeared to be a coordinated series of attacks on tourists and the minority Christian community. Where is the global outrage following the murder of 290 Christians by Islamic fanatics? From the act of terrorism done by Islamic terrorists. And the vast majority of the victims are Christians. You can say it, I know you can because you want to be a hundred percent truthful with all the facts don’t you WSJ? That's a lot. On Easter huh..

'Several' Americans among 290 killed in Easter Sunday bombings in Sri LankaUPDATE: The death toll from the explosions in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday has jumped to 290. Over 500 people were wounded as well. The media is afraid to call it Islamic terrorism, but they wrote dozens of articles exaggerating a rise in white supremacist terrorism after the New Zealand attack! They forgot militant ISLAMIC group. Chill with the muslim censoring. Let's be adults about culprits, stats, and patterns and who the data points to. Math doesn't lie. Address it. The media is calling the National Thowfeek Jamaath 'local militant' instead of Islamic terrorism. They were eager to talk about White Supremacist terrorism for the New Zealand attack. I wonder why.
