The archbishops criticism of the US and Daesh comes almost three weeks after several cities of Sri Lanka Colombo, Negombo, and Batticaloa were rocked by serial bomb blasts on Easter Sunday (21 April). About 253 people were killed in the explosions that severely damaged three prominent churches and an equal number of up-market hotels.
New Delhi (Sputnik): Countries like the US and terror groups like Daesh* are both creating disharmony and conflicts to achieve their respective selfish objectives to gain control of territory, Archbishop of Colombo Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith has said, according to a report in Sri Lanka-based news portal News First.
The US identifies countries and groups with differences and highlights these differences. A programme is then implemented to create disharmony between people of different religious faiths and other groups to create these conflicts. Daesh is also part of this programme, he added.

Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith also spoke about the intervention of Western nations in Sri Lanka, noting that the US has been strategically placing its warships across the globe in key positions so that it can take over any country at a moment's notice, the report added.
Cardinal Ranjith further explained that countries such as the US create conflicts in other nations to sell the weapons they manufacture.
With Daesh claiming responsibility for the terror strikes that killed mostly Christians, security and intelligence officials around the world have opined that the attacks were aimed at sending out a global warning to the West in general and Christians in particular.
The cardinal's comments also assume significance in the wake of Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena issuing an extraordinary gazette on Tuesday banning several extremist organisations, including the National Thowheed Jama'th (NTJ), the Jama'athe Milla'athe Ibrahim(JMI), and the Willayath As Seylani.

According to the gazette, these groups have been banned by the president using the powers vested with him under Regulation 75(1) of the Emergency (Miscellaneous Provisions and Powers) Regulations No. 1 of 2019, the Sunday Times in Sri Lanka reported.

Just another franciscardinal who hates the U.S. as Bergoglio does. Blames muslim terrorist attacks against Catholic churches on the U.S., but not on the "religion" of Islam.
Ping
Many here may remember that for years, FraudCo referred to the muslim terrorists as Daesh, as a slam against Israel.
Same as why they ALWAYS called Jerusalem “al qudz”.
Interesting. Ranjith was previously known as a Benedict/Ratzinger-type conservative. In fact, just the other day, Mickens, one of the prommi Team Francis gays on twitter, was bashing him. But, hey, if Bergoglian-style college-freshman Marxist analysis is the in thing these, sounds like Ranjith is getting on board. Funny how that happens. The fact that their conservatism/orthodoxy has evaporated over the past 6 years has exposed of number of prelates ( Schoenborn, Ouellet, the Maltese guy, et al. ) as being careerists. They were conservatives when conservatives called the shots. They’re Bergoglians now. Oh, well, same as it’s always been. Careerists gonna do careerism. Remember, only one English bishop refused to go along to get along with Henry VIII.
Your post is spot on.
” referred to the muslim terrorists as Daesh, as a slam against Israel”
Why’s that?
Here’s the definition of ‘daesh’ from Wikipedia:
“The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISI), also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), officially as the Islamic State (IS), and by its Arabic language acronym Daesh”
What’s the point of saying ‘daesh’ when it’s just an uncommon way of referring to ISIS? Didn’t Obama like to use ‘daesh’?
Maybe some like to use ‘daesh’ because ordinary listeners don’t realize that it’s just the ISIS bunch of terrorists.
“Levant” by the way, refers to a large area in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Total BS leftist talking point repeated over and over.
Generally,anywhere we see the AK-47,they are total ISLAMIC sh*tholes. Usually,if we see the M-16 family of weapons,they are in countries that are yearning for FREEDOM with American support.
Unify Syria, Divide Israel Says Kerry in Major Middle East Policy Address,
November 5, 2015
Kerry claimed that ISIS which is apparently now to be known in U.S. Diplo-talk as Daesh arose out of the chaos during the early days of the Syrian Revolution, when poor, disillusioned Syrians were protesting in the streets because they just wanted jobs and a future.
