Christians murdered in Sri Lanka? Washington Post makes it about the far-right
Washington Examiner ^ | 4/22/19

Posted on 04/22/2019 4:15:28 PM PDT by Liberty7732

It has not even been 48 hours, and at least one major American newsroom has found a way to make the deadly Sri Lanka Easter bombings, which targeted Christians and claimed an estimated 290 lives, about right-wing fearmongering.

“Christianity under attack? Sri Lanka church bombings stoke far-right anger in the West,” reads the headline to a Washington Post article published Monday morning.

This feels like a bizarre and even more tasteless iteration of the press’ beloved “Republicans pounce” trope, where an extremely newsworthy event is used as the backdrop to a larger meta-story about how members of the Right are supposedly exploiting it for political gain.

I believe that it was mostly Methodists in Ceylon from the accounts I have read.

The muslim creed is to kill the infidel... the Jews first and Christians next... the reason? They believe these 2 stand in the way of them being the chosen of God and rule the world. They cannot be ruler unless they get rid of the 2 groups/nations that hold that position now and for thousands years.

They will not succeed in ruling, but they will create havoc until God intervenes for Israel.. and we may be in need by then also.

They believe it because our Bible lists Isaac as the one.. their “prophet” changed tbat in their ‘book’ to Ishmael and they have to kill off those in the way. They aim at the Jews and Christians...this time on the day Jesus rose from the grave... and they think they will be rewarded in “heaven” with virgins... what a disappointment when they get to the place they go...

Orthodox Catholics, Evangelicals, Conservative Hispanics band together now or hang separately! The demonic left hates God and everything you stand for!

Far right wing? Far left wing? Middle of the bird?

IT DOES NOT MATTER! It is not even on the radar.

The infidel (plural) must die! Is the all consuming goal.

Did they mention a BACKLASH?

The only lash allowed is the Islamic Lash of Allah to be used against the infidels!!

(Well, there is the occasional whitelash, but that is a different story...)

Most Washington Post writers/columnists have no souls. They care for no one except their own elite clique. This includes a totally lack of caring about the truth and the sanity of what they are saying.

I’m glad these pricks wrote what they did and that Al Shabaab Omer said what she did about “someone did something to somebody”.

It only proves what we have been saying for decades, namely that most on the Left (Communists, Marxists, progressives, socialists and liberals) are damned stupid, crazy, delusional and an existential threat to America and our freedom.

How low can you go? The competition is fierce among the rabidly-looney statist propaganda mills.

I consider worse those pseudo-libertarians who defend Amazon as the free market. Our market is not free; it is strangled by regulations, and only the richest corporations can afford to circumvent the net. Further, Amazon is being effectively subsidized by taxation without representatiin: the USPS. Our Congress will only pretend to represent us against Big Tech.
