** 22-Apr-2019 Sri Lanka Easter bombing - who's responsible?

No one has yet claimed responsibility for the massive chain of
bombings in Sri Lanka on Sunday. The targets were 5-star tourist
hotels and churches in the midst of Easter Sunday services.

I had considered the most likely perpetrators to be Buddhist
terrorists. They've already conducted some small terrorist attacks in
Sri Lanka, in order to "purify" the country for Buddhism. So given
the choice of targets and the fact that Buddhist temples were not
targeted seemed to me to make them the logical choice.

However, officials are now saying that they've arrested about 20
perpetrators, they're all "locals," and they're Muslims.

This is very puzzling. The string of terrorist attacks is considered
very complex, and jihadists would have targeted Buddhist temples, if
only to get revenge for the Buddhist genocide of Rohingya Muslims in
Myanmar (Burma).

According to one analyst, the only thing that makes sense is that it
was the work of ISIS. Presumably, ISIS experts in Syria would have
traveled to Sri Lanka and help the locals set up the complex
operations.

That still doesn't make sense to me. Things should become clearer as
the investigation continues. In the meantime, the country
Sri Lanka is in shock, and the political finger-pointing should
be harsh.

How do you design your book covers? Do you use a website or your own computer?

Apparently the moslem attacks on christians in Ceylon are in response to Christian terrorist attacks on Moslems in New Zealand and elsewhere.

John,

Here's another article which reinforces your assertion that Chinese corporations are placing backdoor technology in their computers and other high tech products.

This is not apparent at all and is simply what ISIS says is their reason and what the MSM is pushing as a narrative.

ISIS does not need any tit-for-tat excuse to attack Western institutions. It is comical to think and say they have held off attacking certain targets because they have some kind of live and let live policy. The attack could have been followed up with any fill-in-the-blank reason.

The only part that is credible is that ISIS was somehow indeed responsible. They always claim responsibility, but this time they had proof with photos of the bombers beforehand, pledging allegiance to ISIS.

It is interesting to note that on the day of the attack, all the MSM covered the story. Then on Monday, the story moved to the back pages. This is literally overnight, the story was spiked and the headlines were about how stupid and corrupt Trump is, and other gossip and nonsense.

Then on Tuesday as the new narrative appeared, the stupid and idiotic one you have proffered, that it was retaliation for racist whitey's attack on the Christchurch mosque. All of a sudden it was back in the news, top headline: "Racist Whitey to Blame for Sri Lanka Attack"...

Clearly the new angle fit the fashionable anti-white narrative - whitey is the evil bad racist Islamophobe, and it's HIS fault the Sri Lanka attack happened.

Your 'revelation' is a great example of mindlessly spreading the narrative of the radical left, oligarchs, puppet masters, whoever...

Yes and no: for propaganda reasons ISIS should claim it is defending the poor Muslims against the villainous infidels. It's a modern-day equivalent to Osama bin Laden's claim jihad had to be waged against the USA because they had helped Serbians to massacre Muslims in the Balkans (!). Also, ISIS has lost its territory in Syria and should get a "victory" in order to prove the "caliphate" is still favored by Allah.

Islam always requires justifications for violence. Muslims aren't supposed to attack people just for being nonbelievers. They need some other reason.

In Islam, war is justified under several circumstances:

-Your country is attacked by another country (self-defense)
-A different Muslim country has been attacked by a non-Muslim country
-A non-Muslim country is oppressing its own Muslims

The first of these is definitely justified, and the other two are debatable propositions. But from the looks of things, it doesn't seem like these teachings are inherently violent or unreasonable. So what's the problem?

The problem is, these circumstances can be construed with so much agility that modern rulers and imams can justify war whenever they want against whomever they want. If corrupt rulers are willing to exploit the religion for political gain, states that are officially Islamic will be violent. Unfortunately, one could easily argue that corruption is inevitable and therefore Islam will forever be destined to violence. That may be the sad reality of the situation.

which is quite a contrast to the American (Christian) justifications for violence---to whit---1) wrong color skin, 2) profit making, 3) not christian, 4) or most often (especially since 9/11), plain ole murder lust

More blatant globalist propaganda, events have refuted the speculation advanced in these paragraphs. Meanwhile in the real world Buddhist nationalists are NOT chomping at the bit to murder westerners. That cannot be said for the Muslims, its has been proven over the last couple days that the perpetrators were islamicists. John's ingrained bias in favor globalist "controlled" politics and philo-islamic globalism, is obvious in the above post.
