The toll was highest at St. Sebastian's Church in Negombo. Of the more than 350 people killed by the suicide bombings that the government blamed on Muslim extremists, about a third of them died at the church in the seaside fishing town while attending Easter Services.
And perhaps no one lost more relatives than Kumari, whose daughter, son, husband, sister-in-law and two nieces were killed.

“You won’t believe it, but I had the perfect family,” Kumari said. “In 24 years of marriage, my husband and I never argued. All four of us slept in the same room. Now I have lost everything.”
The only two times in the year I consciously avoid going to church: Christmas and Easter. It leaves more room for the CEO’s.
Who knew it was also a safety move?!
Muslim extremists

They were just following the example and instructions of their prophet.
There is NO moderate Koran, therefore there is NO moderate Islam.
As a Christian,she is comforted by Jesus’s promise of the resurrection for her family. No such comfort for the families of the suicide bombers, who will spend eternity in Hell.
please pray for a friend of my daughter and wife who was critically injured in the bombing and presently sits in a hospital in Singapore: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3744073/posts
The Buddists that run the country knew an attack was coming. SO...........!

I saw a profile of Kieran Shafritz de Zoysa, the eleven year old boy who was slaughtered by these animals. It really got to me, I’ll admit.
He wanted to be a doctor.
Praying now.
Must pray for them. Singapore medical staff are very good.
Prayers for all the surviving family members. This must be so difficult.
I have worked for about forty years with various Muslim immigrants to America.
Some of them were radicalized, but most were ordinary people who just wanted to live their individual lives and follow their personal goals in peace and freedom.
If they don’t raise their voices, it’s probably because most of them are terrorized themselves. (But some extraordinary voices HAVE been raised - several of which, I’m proud to state, have been Female.)
We do have to discriminate between the radicalized followers of political Islam, and those who were simply born into it, know nothing else, and value whatever good they derive from it as the only spiritual message that they may have ever known.
