Society/Culture At Least 42 Dead And Hundreds Injured In Church And Hotel Bombings (Now 259 Dead)

[Bradesmaen]

Notre Dame is a world famous tourist attraction.
which Sri Lankan Churches that were attacked would have been full of tourists?

The St Anthony's Shrine is said to have a piece of St Anthony's tongue inside it. Whether it is real or not, people are interested in historical things like that. It was also the biggest of the churches hit. I've been inside many churches for artifacts like that. (The one in Bruges has a bit of the holy blood)

"Blind rage"?

Well done on finally saying that it was an attack on Christians.

I never said it wasn't. You went into a blind rage and started slinging off at me, while adding bits of misinformation along the way. Classic.

 

[Bradesmaen]

ROFL I am not the one who goes around taking the moral high ground by thinking they have a right to tell people what they can't and can't post on the grounds of racism or stereotypes and then goes on and makes the same type of stereotypical comment they call others out on.

But as usual you have been shown up and have to resort to attacking the poster as a result

Says the guy who attacked me for saying there are call centres in India...

What next, I'm not allowed to say there are pizza chefs in Italy?

Oh, you seem to have missed the question. Let me pose it again, just in case you missed it.

Why were so many people from one political group unwilling to say that "Easter worshippers" were Christians? No-one "near a church" was attacked. It was people in the churches who died and were injured. So why call them "Easter worshippers" when we know they are Christians? There was about as much chance of them not being Christians as there was of people in the Christchurch mosque not being Muslim - should they also have said some other phrase instead of Muslims?

You going to call Scott Morrison out for effectively doing the same thing? Not one political group then. Cue dramatic hamster.

I'm afraid that's not an answer, as the part of the question says "so many people" (ie. much more than one). I will pose it once more.

I answered your question, you just refuse to accept it until you hear the answer you want. Is Fox news part of the same political group? They also used that term.

The Islamists were probably just targeting tourists wanting to catch a glimpse of St Anthony’s tongue.

Similarly, the Christchurch shooter simply had a grudge against a halal catering company he was sacked from.

not disputing what you have said, but considering that it was Easter Sunday,the 2nd most important day on the Christian Calendar besides Christmas,
it would be reasonable to postulate that the vast majority of people in the church where practicing Christians?
not to mention the symbolism of the date, or is that just coincidence?

You get your kicks on this forum by instructing mentally ill posters to shoot themselves, and trolling the fact that around ~300 innocent people just lost their lives. Please take a long look at yourself and your priorities.

And I never said anything different. People are inferring I did, but actually have just made it up as per usual.

Fox is not a person, and both the NYT and the Guardian have been willing to say Christians, so the point you think I'm trying to make doesn't quite match what point I'm making. Shall I ask you again why it is that these particular individuals used the phrase "Easter worshippers" instead of Christians? Do you have any good reason to use that phrase but not use an equivalent for the Christchurch shooting?

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. At least I can formulate my own opinions..

A person wrote that. Or are you saying Fox News is a sentient being? If so, we should all be worried.

Still can't answer the question! Amazing stuff.

Your opinions are not something to be proud of.

Easter Sunday is the most important.

I recall the Pulse nightclub shooter apparently being a repressed homksexual as well.

 

[The Speaker]

Easter Sunday is the most important.

And Good Friday the second most important (although they really can't be separated from each other).

I don't believe that defending victims of a terrorist attack was about you. Sounds to me like showing respect and recognition for the dead.

correct.
my apologies as i'm a long lapsed Catholic.
the Crucifixion, Resurrection and Ascension is the (Crux) of the Christian mythology.
Christmas is just a commercial enterprise/holiday
