Why so much hatred in this world why were all people of the same color blood

and it’s those Muslims again. Let’s bring millions to Europe!

God's will

rosemaryCNN Must be distressing given they've just had a period of relative peace after their 26-year civil war that ended in 2009.

You forgot to mention these were Islamic terror acts.

CNN is a fucking creepy media.... They will never say it a terrorist attack by Islamic terrorists.... They will never say it as an attack against Christians.. Double standard... Need to boycott these types of creepy mainstream medias. They are supporting terrorism and Islam....

Whose to blame

Attacks on Christians!!!

Why attack churchgoers and others.... only cowards do that!!! 😡

Everybody are so afraid to mention the Islamic connection !! Why?

No words to deacribe.. may our Lord Jesus comfort all those family who lost their loved ones and may qllntheir souls rest in peace.. God bless everyone💜

So sad 😭

They were muslims of course it was a hate crime of terrorism

Prayers for the victims. Stop the hate.

This is your doing CNN. This blood is on your hands. EnemyOfThePeople

Islam

Yet you have barely covered the Islamic terrorist attacks. Why? The Muellar vindication of our President is old news. No obstruction, no collusion, can't you people read?

Time for Democrats to go to work, and Build the Wall.

Why most of people still believe Muslims are equally,they are not have to remove this cancer

JustaSoldierUS What does Omar say?

JustaSoldierUS Is this CNN?

Let’s see, who uses Suicide attacks? Investigation over.

Islam is a cancer that has contributed nothing but violence for the last 1500 years. The world needs to unite and wipe it out once and for all.

Dvdvds

🔥 Indian Modi 👻 BJP 🔥 Blue Print Of 😭 🇱🇰 Killings 😭

One advantage of being tapped into anti-ISIL networks is that it doesn't take long to find the identity of the Shangri-La Hotel bomber. But you keep on keeping an open mind. Perhaps it was White Supremacists(!)

Think it might be those radical Buddhists?

Treystur So now it’s an act of terror but when it’s a white dude he’s an “attacker” or a “shooter”

Extremists generate extremists in the other side. Trump is a great racist encouraging violence and terror by his ideas and his support to aggression and occupation like occupation of the West Bank.

100% this was the handiwork of Muslims, most likely a group called Thowheed Jamaath, and they must have had help from Pakistan's intelligence agency ISI to pull off something this large, sophisticated and coordinated.

Are you saying some people did something.

Terrorism by whom?

ISLAMIC EXTREMISTS! Say it!!!!

God be with those who lost Loved ones❤

Good thing they acted fast to figure out this already suspected fact. Another step further is to find out what group of terrorist and also increase their security so it does NOT become a regular occurence in Sri Lanka.

You dont say, what would this be other than a terrorist act....

Instead of the twisted leftist libs attacking Trump for securing the borders and keeping illegals out which he has a right to do they should open their mouths like that on the real atrocities of the world, where Christians, minorities, and gays are being killed and decimated

Let’s see how long it takes donnie orange to tweet a sympathy note about this tragedy and offer aid.

May have? How else do you suppose this was done...yet again, CNN demonstrating their ineptitude

This is worse than a nightmare!😔😔

Every wise man has knowledge of forces trying to embrace disgrace

FORAM MUÇULMANOS!

Will CNN treat this the same way as NZ? We MUST find out why this was done. What inspired this? Why would believers in the Quran do this? C'mon CNN...you can do it!

Those earning through divide & rule doctrine of polarization in Subcontinent - Palestine - kashmir - Iraq - Libya - Christ Church - Norter Dam - Palwama from the same century old bag of conspirators

Islamic terror

Islam is a very odd religion, I read that they believe in peace and not harming anyone but then I read how they hurt people because they are not Muslim. Very confusing smh.

Terror has a source:ISLAM....the Left's favorite pet.

🙏

Just say it. Terrorism committed by Islamists against Christians.

💔

It's so sad 😭😭

What about this?

And this is why trump is building a wall..

Praying for all the families of lost ones 💔 I hope those injured will receive helpful treatment

Is there someone that can honestly cover this story? It ain't you.

Last week the Food Network beat CNN in Prime Time. That means more people would rather watch water boil than watch CNN.

Evil Doers Will Perish At The Judgement.Don't Think Ur Getting Away w/Ur Despicable Act.God Saw U.U And All Murderers Will Face God's Vengeance.

When will it ends? Why dont just live in love, and peace? 😢

am so sorry that human beings just can seem to accept one another and their religious perspectives....we are the most violent species on earth and that is so sad. We have been given brains that can analyse and solve problems and make decisions. I am so sorry for Sri Lanka today.

So Sad, I'm heading to Church right Now and I tell you I'm always looking over my shoulder.

Islamist terrorists!

So sad to hear of such horrific acts of terror on Easter! In Sri Lanka, 70 % of the population is Buddhists

10 hours since you first reported on this and it is confirmed who did it and you's still can't use the words ISLAMIC TERRORISTS DID IT.

The attacks on churches school these people are sick

So, so sorry...

Christ lives; He said we would suffer.

Look at Sri Lanka today! Disgusting appalling desecration of life simply because it’s a different chosen path ! Makes one week for those hapless victims

Notice the coverage of this attack folks by CNN .. no breaking news on network .. then ask yourself why Shameful

Only no God! that have peace!

Where is your outcry against these unholy killers?

May have?

You don’t fuckin say!!!!!!

And yet, only 1/100th of that mosque coverage the media crammed down our throats in NZ.

The comments on this post are appalling. It's Easter. People died while worshipping. Horrifying. Sad. Enough said.

we feel very sorry for the victims

Would the God/gods ever want us to fight and kill each other over them?

So where is the worldwide condemnation? The outrage? Where is the banning of the ideals and weapons used to murder innocent people? Oh right, it’s just “some people doing some things”. Here comes the “it’s important to not blame all Muslims” take.

Funny when it's a white nationalist you know within minutes. But just can't see to find out when it's a radical Islamic The propaganda is not working anymore.

Islam is pure evil

😭😭😭

IlhanMN RashidaTlaib Islam.

Modderfokkers in cnn must b squealing wid joy.

Ready for any help required. All religions teach us love and kindness. People use name of religion to spread hate among people. If we hate each other that's their success. From your Muslim brother. We stand with you Sri Lanka.

There is no “may have”....its “confirmed” suicide bombings. You guys are pathetic in reporting the facts !!!

May have been Oh CNN

V tragic incident

This needs to stop seriously. There is a time and place to stop... to attack innocent people is crossing the line! Especially on a religious holiday. You don’t see us blowing up ya Alladin towels that you pray on do you? No you don’t

Are you gonna comment on the ideology that motivated these terror attacks, or is that not relevant here You are FakeNews Srilanka

He figured that out all by himself? Let’s rename him Captain Obvious. 🙄

would be isis action it is their experience using desperate youths for suicide attack

It certainly was suicide bombers. Country's who live with Islamic terrorists and still have actionable laws, aren't afraid to call it what it is. I guarantee the ones responsible who aren't dead will be rounded up and executed in a timely fashion. The way it should be.

RADICAL ISLAMIC TERROR

Muslims at it again.

“May” This is why CNN is the king of fakenews no coming back

No mention of Islam in that tweet, unsurprising.

Pray4SriLanka 💔💔💔💔💔

Suicide bombers’ problems are only just beginning when they detonate

Really no mental illness, lots of lone wolves don't you think

ZIONIST VS THE WORLD via 4noatsent

Islamist did this shit. I wonder what IlhanMN thinks about this?

May god bless them

Muslims again. I thought Islam was a peaceful religion. Yeahhh right.

I knocked down a dog once, I was crying for weeks after it , CNN will report it as a terror Atack

Sorry for the attack,

religion of peace btw

So horribly sad. So sorry. 😩

This horrible tragedy is so heartbreaking💔

Such evil in this world!! No words!

Real unfortunate that we lose life's through such acts

This makes me sick to my stomach, it’s so heartbreaking

“May”?!?!?!?

The usual suspects...

Haaaa that religion of peace!!! Some people did something! 🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓

Here's what one of the suicide bombers had to say about the 'non-believers/kafirs'

Which terrorist group are going to take claim. So horrible that people can’t practice their religion in this world.
