The original story is from some gulf country.
TOI has copied the same.
You open any countries news source, you will find the same story.
NO
every serious newspaper says "they don't know who did it"

Cowards always pick places of worship because they are the most easiest places to target.

Bloodthirsty vermins. Whoever did it I hope they dont get a prison sentence but locked up in a dark dungeon locked in chains and full of cockroaches and rats. This is what these creatures deserve I dont say animals because animals are innocent compared to what these filthy terrorists do regardless of their race, ethnic group or religion.

Well it will matter, attacking your own countrymen(assuming they aren't foriegners) on their major Holiday is grotesque and unacceptable. I don't know of any person who thinks it's okay to attack Churches. I do not understand how these extremists think. This sends a terrible message to the Christian community around the world.

And for those saying it's because of Churchchrist attack you're wrong. We are not reactionary people and Allah takes care of innocent victims and it's forbidden to try to think of a vengeance attack for something that an individual did.

If they actually wanted to go and avenge christchurch why dont they just go kill the perpatrator rather than blowing up some hotel in Sri Lanka that had nothing to do with what happened in Christchurch??

Mentality of extremists will always justify anything because to them doing these kind of deeds are justified. Every pyschopath needs something to justify so their acts are not seen something done for nothing.

Irrespective of religions, I guess the dialogue from 4:27 to 5:08 in the video below sums it up exactly.

Agreed, btw the motive is unknown, I just brought up the Churchchrist point because some in the thread think its related. It isn't , and this is unadulterated massacre of worshippers who have nothing to do with anything. And on Easter which is equivalent to Eid.

I don't see how Christians can look at us in a good manner even if it is just minority of extremists doing these attacks. It's too much and too often. May Allah help us.

Yes I can and here's the very simple explanation, have there been terror attacks in Australia, yes. Does ISIS have the ability to strike within the country, yes. Is Australia actively helping against the ISIS threat, yes. There are more than ample reasons that they would have struck against Australia for the attack in NZ. Churches and Christchurch do not connect, if that had been the case we would see attacks on churches in Muslim countries which would easier to do. I'm sorry I only see Indian posters writing about this.

Do you realise what would have happened if they targeted Buddhist shrines! The Muslim community would face riots they have never seen and be wiped out. The assaults were clever in targeting a community that the majority don't identify with much i.e. Christian Tamils, and on foreign guests.

I am Sri Lankan and many here including me think this can be a response to Christchurch attack. This may come as a surprise for you, but we had indications of a ISIS like attack in SL. And the government should be shamed and condemned for not protecting people.

1. Last year a bunch of Muslims were arrested for vandalising Buddha statues in Mawanella, Central part of Colombo
2. After their arrest authorities could locate hidden clay more mines and explosives. And newspaper reports said the investigations were still going on and there are more people involved in it.
3. A prominent Muslim in the area where vandalisation of Buddha statues occurred, helped the authorities in identifying the perpetrators and arresting them. Few days later he was gunned down by unidentified men at his home.
4. Muslim ministers in the government, like a month ago, asked for a meeting with higher ups in the government and complained to them that they are getting death threats from extremists and they have now become a nuisance to the Muslim community. They asked the government to take strict measuers to control the situ. But our gov again failed. So we had indications. I think network was already there, the moment they got a reason, like Christchurch attack probably one where its carders can be motivated. Churches can be soft targets.

And majoity who had died there are Sinhala Christians. I myself have relations injured and some of them saved by the last minute. Buddhist extremists though extremely vociferous are unable to do this. And the ones who were arrested in last years anti Muslim violence were mostly between 16-23. Some even cried at the court.

gulfnew is no serious newspaper not like NYT washingtonpost
still if confirmed it is just name of person in the article

but i can read in the comments of some Indian people how they conclude the bad muslims

it seems India entered in fascism mode

Your last comment that I just highlighted is apt with my last comment #347 I had posted. Do care to watch that video.

P.S: It's applicable to few of my fellow India's as well. :hitwall:

We condemn this barbaric terror act.

Even my neighbor Muslim friend spews lot of conspiracy theories just like PDF keyboard warriors.

It was other an answer by Islamic terrorists to NZ bombing or attack on Indians sponsored by Pakistan or both. It was an explicit act of Islamist terrorism.
Oh dear lord the irony in this one is depressing
You hindutvas are most vile creatures to ever walk on this planet wish your mother had swallowed you
