Racially or Religiously motivated I wonder. Racial? All I know is it’s a predominantly budist/Hindu country, with a fantastic cricket ground in Colombo |

200+ people die in churches in sri lanka - 5 posts, church burns and nobody hurt in france - 5 pages And I have noticed a lot of piss taking of Christianity on social media. It seems fair game, unlike Islam which seems untouchable. I'm not even religious, but I don't like the way the country is going. |

Christianity is much more under attack than Islam, which is mostly being criticised.
I’m not being Islamaphobic in saying that.

200+ people die in churches in sri lanka - 5 posts, church burns and nobody hurt in france - 5 pages I thinks it to do with the fact that it's almost expected from that part of the world. Tragic though it is it's a regular occurrence. A part of the world full of stupid religious driven ignorant intolerance. |

From the White House to the Vatican, world leaders condemned the string of bombings that killed more than 200 people in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday as many of the victims were in churches celebrating one of most important holidays in the Christian faith.
Make of that what you will, maybe the rest of the world is wrong and you are right I bow to your superior knowledge  oh great one.

About 70% of people living in Sri Lanka are Bhuddist. Lordb is right. It doesn’t mean the rest of the world are wrong as the rest of the world hasn’t said anything to contradict Lordb. It’s the Hindu Tamil Tigers who have been particularly problematic in recent years there, so I have heard. But terrorism is nothing to do with religion. It’s nutters. They aren’t religious, they just sometimes say they are and use a brainwashed version of religion as the excuse. |

The BBC are now reporting that the death toll is now up to 290 with over 500 injured !
A 6ft pipe bomb was also discovered near the main airport at Colombo.
Earlier today the Beeb said the Sri Lankan authorities have said the attack is aimed "at Christianity" and the attackers are part of a "radical extremist Islamist group" - 24 arrests have so far been made.
The Sri Lankan government apparently received a warning about 10 days ago of an imminent attack.
Religion of peace strikes again !

This is not the work of a loan wolf like NZ, this is the work of an Islamic terrorist group notice group, how do you know they don't follow Islam do you know them ? |

When the Sri Lankan government has said it's a "radical extremist Islamist Group" I rather think it is to do with Islam ! I agree they certainly are nutters (and presumably do not represent the majority of muslims) but it certainly is due to Islam, and the attacks are definitely aimed "at Christianity". |

This is not down to islam. It’s down to nutters. Islamic nutters. Ah, so all christians are like Anders Brevik and all Muslims are like bin laden and all hindus as like the tanil togers? Or are they all warped and twisted nutters using religion as a foul excuse to commit awful crimes. |

For balance the Sri Lankan government have toned down their statement and saying the situation "is unclear" regarding exactly who was behind the attacks.

The majority of religious people are not terrorists. I therefore don’t believe you can tarnish all people who are religious by the actions of a tiny minority of extremists who claim they are on some crusade for their god, which they obviously aren’t. |
