The coming backlash is always the real threat.

And of course, only nuts on the "far right" are really angry about this.

    The SITE Intelligence Group, which tracks extremist activity online, said on its website Monday that an unidentified Islamic State supporter distributed photos of three alleged “commandos” involved in the Sri Lanka attacks. The photos were posted in pro-Islamic State chat rooms, and the men, pictured holding weapons in front of Islamic State banners, were described as “among the commando brothers in Sri Lanka,” SITE said.
    The group reported Sunday that Islamic State supporters were portraying the attacks as revenge for strikes on mosques and Muslims.


    The highly coordinated attacks left the island nation reeling, a crushing blow after almost a decade of peace since the end of its civil war.

    In that time, tourism in Sri Lanka had been steadily growing, the country transformed by the apparent end of instability, bloodshed and frequent suicide bombings over the 26-year war.
    A huge number of the dead were worshipers at St. Sebastian’s Church in Negombo, north of Colombo; officials reported at least 104 killed there.

    In a sign of rising tensions in the wake of the attacks, 22 Muslim refugees from Pakistan living in Negombo faced threats and intimidation from a group of local residents. Police arrived and separated the two groups, said Kosela Navaratna, the officer in charge at the Katana police station in Negombo. The refugees are currently in police protection


    Case closed. The Christians were begging for it and there is already a dangerous backlash against the religion of peace

    Anti Muslim bigotry has really gotten bad. What do you expect? The can only take so much.

    From the AP:
    “The Easter bombings were the deadliest incident in Sri Lanka since a 26-year-long civil war ended in 2009 between the country's mostly Buddhist Sinhalese majority and its Tamil minority, made up of Hindus, Christians, and Muslims. "While anti-Muslim bigotry has swept the island in recent years, fed by Buddhist nationalists, the island also has no history of violent Muslim militants," The Associated Press reports. "The country’s small Christian community has seen only scattered incidents of harassment in recent years."

    Welcome to the modern democrat party and their media mouthpieces. This piece from the Wa Po is both disgusting and disgustingly predictable.

    If you can't see they chintentionally dodged saying the word Christian @GrandpaSankey can't help you.
    This was a Fox news headline in the last week.

    Fox News also used the phrase “Easter worshippers” in a headline about the Notre Dame cathedral fire,

    But keep with your rage about conspiracy theories about irrelevant politicians.
