In a brief statement, the Sri Lankan president’s secretary Udaya Seneviratne said the government has “decided to temporarily block social media sites including Facebook and Instagram,” in an effort to curb “false news reports.

Only the government is now permitted to give “false news reports”.

3 of them I think at same time. Pretty well planned

That used to be the fingerprints of Al Queda. They liked to show they could coordinate multiple attacks at different locations.

“Another blast just now.”

This is why France’s firefighters stayed at a distance and declared the fire to be an accident while still burning.

Although we have two names that indicates an origin, we shall not exclude that it could have been coordinated by a state actor and that the perpetrators had no clue about that.

If the Lord continues to tarry, expect more of this to happen on Christian Holidays - even in Amerika.

Payback? They were going to do it anyway.

Murdering people on a regular basis — it’s what Muslims do.

Yes but this was a coordinated event which generally speaks of Isis, Alqueda and Muslim Brotherhood. Although the Buddists have been trying to get Christians out of ShriLanka for years.

From the BBC: “Easter Sunday is one of the major feasts in the Christian calendar.” WTF?

Probably written by one of their Hindu Indian editors...the BBC is all about diversity and mostly third world these days...

Just some people doing something right Omar..slaughtering Christians on Easter, I wonder if this will get the same kind of condemnation that the New Zealand Mosque shooting got..of course not, the commie media will say “Just an isolated incident, cant blame ALL of Islam for this”

Stay alert but worship our Risen Lord fearlessly. Nothing not even terrorist bombs can separate you from Him

They that worship another (g)od, worship the (g)od of this world!

Ephesians 6:11-13 King James Version (KJV)

11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
