You can bet all the Mosques will be open as normal, The churches had planned to resume services this weekend, you’d think the ring of muslims singing kumbaya we heard about would have got the message by now. Of course the majority Buddhists ignore this behaviour at their peril, because when the Christians disappear, they will be the next targets, it’s a pattern that repeats.
From the Daily Mail
Catholic Mass services in Sri Lanka are cancelled for a second weekend after warnings of two possible attacks on churches
Church received ‘specific information of two possible attacks against churches’ It decided to call off May 5 mass, a spokesman for Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith said It had planned to resume public services for the first time since Easter attacks Catholic services are being cancelled for a second weekend in Sri Lanka’s capital amid fears of fresh bomb attacks.
The Church received ‘specific information of two possible attacks against churches’ and it was decided to call off the May 5 mass, a spokesman for Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith said Thursday.
‘On the advice of the security forces, we have decided not to have Sunday masses in any of the churches,’ the spokesman said.
The Church had planned to resume public services for the first time since the Easter Sunday attacks at churches and luxury hotels which killed 257 people.
Last week, Muslims were told to stay home for Friday prayers and all of Sri Lanka’s Catholic churches were closed.
Instead of the usual Sunday Mass in Colombo, Ranjith delivered a homily before clergy and national leaders at his residence that aired on television.
A Cabinet minister said Tuesday that intelligence warnings had indicated government ministers could be targeted by the same Islamic State-linked group that carried out the April 21 suicide bombings.
Ranjith has criticised the government’s apparent failure to share near-specific intelligence on the Easter plot and some of the suspects involved.
Sri Lankan police late Wednesday released the names and photographs of nine suicide bombers who carried out the Easter attacks.
They included extremist preacher Mohamed Zahran, also known as Zahran Hashim, who was described as the attack leader.
It also revealed a suicide bomber’s wife, who blew herself up, along with her children and three police officers, at a villa belonging to her father-in-law, who is a prominent spice trader.
Authorities suspect members of two previously little-known groups – National Thawheedh Jamaath (NTJ) and Jammiyathul Millathu Ibrahim – of carrying out the attacks, although the Islamic State extremist group has claimed responsibility.
The government lifted a ban on social media platforms such as Facebook, WhatsApp and viber, a source at the president’s office said. The ban had been imposed immediately after the attacks to prevent the spread of rumours.
The government also banned women from wearing face veils under an emergency law put in place after the Easter attacks.
Sri Lanka’s 22 million population is mostly Buddhist but includes minority Christians, Muslims and Hindus.
Ah, lesson learned. How to get rid of catholics. Bomb their churches repeatedly until they quit having services. Voila! No more catholic faith. Why doesn’t that work with muslims?
If Christian churches are closed by the government, then ALL mosques and Buddhist centers should also be closed. Otherwise, this is simply more persecution of the 7% who are Christian.
“It also revealed a suicide bomber’s wife, who blew herself up, along with her children and three police officers, at a villa belonging to her father-in-law, who is a prominent spice trader.”
And we thought democrats were rabid, self-destructive animals.
Because muzzies love dying. Gets ‘em that much quicker to those virgins.
Makes one think maybe the government was complicit with this happening (i.e. - The Black Hand movement and the demise of the Archduke Ferdinand and his wife Sophie).
Bishop needs to lose his read hat in a ceremony befitting a coward. What a religion!
Muslims much in the ranks of the "security forces"?
I'd expect a security force to show and/or apply force to maintain security; not to run away.
Take 'em out. It's not like it's the feared and deadly National Jamaath Thawheedh (NJT) nor the ruthless killers of the Ibrahim Millathu Jammiyathul (IMJ).
I agree, close one, close them all. We will see how fast the jihadists protest about being unfair. Sri Lanka should make it law that to close down all places of worship with an attack on another. It won’t be long and all attacks will stop. Of course, that will never happen. No one really wants to offend the jihadists.
They would simply attack the entrances next.
dhimmicrats in America are cheering.
Only because it happened to a Christian church. There is no repercussions against the jihadists. Close the masques and they will suffer the wrath of fellow believers.

Which once again proves that...
Terrorism works, appeasement doesn’t
Two choices:
WAR or surrender
