Sri Lankan official says this is related to the NZ mosque attack. I really want to know are there people in our community who think like this? What did Sri Lankan people do to them? How in the world they think attacking worshippers in place of worship or civilian areas is Islamically justified ? We have no concept of revenge in Islam. Eye for eye is only for domestic crimes. And that was replaced with Sharia later on.
I refuse to accept this as 'revenge' and those misguided people are no heroes. And I agree with your post @Desert Fox , lots of Muslims aren't practicing and how illogical thought process. To think its okay to target innocent people who are not related to the NZ attack in any way.
My condolences to Sri Lankan people, they are good and educated people, met many of them in Saudi Arabia. This is sad to see and this is a despicable act.
Has science, civilised humans???
Because the worst crimes in humanity was also done by science.
Fair share of awful crimes was done in the name of Islam I dont deny it. But I refuse to be treated as the scum of the due to what these terrorist scumbags do.
Us Muslims have a big problem with Muslim Terrorists May Allah give us the strength to defeat them.

The victims of the Holocaust would beg to differ with you.
Science hasnt changed human nature.
Not only Holocaust, but whole of the 20th century has an unparalleled record of human casualties and suffering. I have an inkling, that it would only be surpassed by the 21th century; though I wouldn't be here to witness it. Already above 60.

Incident near wattala hendala temple.
2 guys have come in burkas.one with the big bag has escaped and while questioning this motherfucker has told that the plan was to hit the good shepherds convent nayakakanda.
And the news says there is a possible team of terrorists who are trained to break into houses cut and kill innocent people
This means a possible bomber is roaming free in wattala area.
As a person who lives in wattala im so scared and shocked and my wife is in tears.i never thought i will ever have to lock the door like this and wait with a knife on my hand ready for an emergency .I never wanted this life
Ps - dear muslims.please encourage your wife(s),sisters,aunties and mothers to refrain from wearing burkas in this situations.its a threat to the national security.
How can he visit medieval societies? Is there some time machine?

For the first time in history Jews are living in society (USA) where they are not picked on for who they are
Video released of the Sri Lanka attackers pledging allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
He (manlion) has completely mistranslated Tamil earlier in the thread too (to try attempt downplay the extremists words), this actually damages reputation and intent of the vast majority of peaceful regular muslims in the end given he says such extremists should not be split and dissociated from them and are just "preachers" one and the same.
He keeps posing as Tamil, but he cannot speak one word of it time and time again it has been proven (even confusing other south indian languages for it and falling into tons of traps of his own doing when spam posting videos given he can read the english title, but doesnt understand the content at all).
I wish administration just perma bans this guy, he has broken the rules so many times (consistently posing as something he is clearly not, and using that for agenda to hurt every community in various ways).
His whole idea here is religion/cultural bait + troll.
@waz @AgNoStiC MuSliM
This was an atrocious attack, and loss of human life is truly sad. I am not one for conspiracy theories but there seems to be something amiss here.
1- There was substantial threat warning, it was discussed in the security council meeting headed by the President. PM claims that he or members of his cabinet did not knew about it. PM and his cabinet stated that they are clueless about the identity or motives of the attackers. Within an hour or two, two of the names were shown on the media, what was the source of those names?
2- A foreign intelligence agency was the one that provided the information about a possible attack. Now the important question is which country's intelligence agency, US/UK, India or Israel.
3- How did an almost non-existent group with some very murky goals was able to pull such a well planned and executed operation right under the noses of Sri Lankan security apparatus.
4- The PM had suggested on the same day that this attack could lead to a coup attempt, by whom? The president and opposition supported by the Security Establishment, may be.
5- Sri Lankans are already stating that the operation was planned and executed from a foreign country. Any candidates.
6- Social Media was effectively clamped down to stop spread of further rumours or fake news, which could further complicate the situation. Its of prime importance which office took the decision to clampdown social media, was it from the Presidents office or PM. (Most pivotal decision in my opinion)
On a side note, Sri Lankans are being very cautious to make any kind of claims, as we have not heard the usual suspects ISIS or its affiliated groups taking any responsibility, which usually they do within hours of any such attack. Again the group being blamed had little to no foot print before this atrocity. The lofty stated goals of that group are staunch anti-Buddhist actions in a country of over 75% buddhists.
Militant Sinhalese Buddhism was one of the main cause that lead to the 30 years civil war in Sri Lanka, before LTTE came to be a force to reckon with, there were decades of oppression against the Tamil minority lead by the Buddhist clergy. Even after successful elimination of LTTE, the extremist Buddhists were allowed to rein freely, hence several riots, this time targeting Muslims and christians.
Now the most important question is who is to benefit from these attacks? Muslims or Christians, not at all. The minorities were already under threat, and this issue will effectively further a wedge between the two, if the both religious and political leadership of two communities dont take proactive steps to minimise the inflamed feelings.
After looking at the limited information available in public domain, and selection of targets (churches and hotels), I am more inclined to believe that this could have been a false flag operation orchestrated from within Sri Lanka with the help of an external partner or partners to destabilise the country, create racial riots and effectively target Tourists, at the same time pit two already marginalised minorities against each other. For the time being the situation is tense but still under control, and one the decisions that played a pivotal role in this was to social media outage enforced by the government. This might have effectively thwarted any plans for riots or further planned social upheaval, but its still too early to say anything.
Who is to benefit from this? Those expecting to benefit are within Sri Lanka.
My condolences to the people of Sri Lanka, no human being should be killed in such a horrific manner while performing their religious duties and I hope the sanity prevails.
What GR men, you are a Ranil slave....vote him ...serve your masterI can vote GR but if MR wants it he needs to promise that f*cker Bathiudeen is not even going to be considered to be taken into the government.
If that bastard didn't cover up past attacks by then the bombers would have been in jail well before this. He kept one of the terrorists at his right hand and now he can't even answer the questions of the media.
The bastard is the worst of traitors and shouldn't be allowed to escape this
Thanks for the info.
Has there been any official statement regarding who was responsible for this attack by the authorities of Sri Lanka? I am unable to find any updates.
And the media attacks against Muslims have begun.
It is not surprising to me that the vast majority of Sri Lankan posters are already blaming Muslims.
Some Pakistanis are shocked. They should not be. You are confused and you mistake national alliances with religious ones. Sri Lanka, like Myanmar, will not become anti Pakistan. But they are in the process of becoming anti Muslim. And patriotic Pakistanis will still cheer them because hey, at least they are not fully in the pro Indian camp.
The othering of Muslims is on in Sri Lanka. Unlike Tamils, SL Muslims are far fewer in number and donot occupy a significant territory. They will face worse times. This will naturally lead to resistance. The govt will call it terrorism and the cycle will continue till Muslims are totally marginalized.
This is the Myanmar formula at play here. Muslims hardly exist there now. Their influence, history and culture has largely ceased to exist.
Yes, I understand. But, you see, on the forum of the kind, on which we all are communicating, all sorts and kinds of people participate, with different views and perspectives. Still, I feel, that at least, we shall refrain from using abusive language, against a fellow poster; no matter, how absurd, ridiculous or obnoxious, his opinion may appear to us.
