Incompetence or deliberate inaction?
I've read about that stereotype being a furph. There's been studies done which show the average terrorist bomber has a tertiary education and isn't the misguided and disaffected youth caught up in an extremist's net. Quick Google should bring that info up.
The current IGP (Ispector-General of Police) was required to submit voice samples in February upon suspicion of his involvement in a plot to assassinate the Sri Lankan president.
Somehow I doubt Sri Lanka's capacity to get to the bottom of this.
Where is N37 to defend these actions?

25% of the world is Islamic, if they really were all violent warmongers we'd all be dead.
As far as world peace goes I'm not sure any religion is helpful.
Not sure what else there is to say really, 300 people dead and some dude is bitching about what clothes a woman decided to wear a month ago...
I thought Christianity was about helping poor people and whatever, not waiting until a bunch of people have been blown to s**t so you can bitch about "lefties".

If Islam was a violent warmongering religion, then 25% of the world’s population (and increasing) would be Islamic.

This is astonishing. How.
Too busy fighting each other.
Funnily enough, "no religion" has a pretty bad record too.

Good to know.
Not at all. Just explaining the context of my original comment which you sniped at.

Help from within India likely.
Seems to confirm that the Plane is going to Sri Lanka

If it ever came down to a shitfight between religious fanatics and the godless, given equal arms, I know where my money would be.

You for real?
Religious fanatics have been blowing each-other up for centuries, me and the rest of the heathens could sit around a slab of beer and a PS2 and we'd still s**t it in.
I mean, only just the other day about 300 christians got killed in Sri Lanka by a bunch of islamic terrorists, the real kicker is they both believe in the same god... it's crazy!

It's an interesting thought experiment.
One side, when thinking logically, shouldn't find value in a single life since we are all equally insignificant expressions of random chance. So they shouldn't have a problem with group thinking the few to suicide bomb for the many.
Except they will because humans are quite selfish in isolation and there is nothing to gain from it.
The other side have a party to get to after this war and dying gets them a better spot in it, they might value the life of the one more because it's a reflection of god's image in man, but they are keeping their eye on the prize.
They'll win because even if they die, they win and the atheists will take surrender and defeat over death and victory.
That's why religious fundamentalists are so scary. It's truly no holds barred.
Good to know.
There is little in common between the Allah of Islam and the God of Christianity.
They train there kids to kill and shoot people. Religion of peace
Isis made a video of children hunting and killing Syrian prisoners in the ruins of palmyra. Sick bastards
Subliminal or institutionalised prejudice most likely, rather than incompetence.
Most Government and Security services could probably be described as Sinhalese centric. Probably to describe it as deliberate inaction, might be going too far.
I'll split the difference and suggest it could be "considered inaction".

I mean aside from them both being monotheistic patriarchal horse s**t based on the same rubbish stories which 2000 years later still inspire crazy people to do crazy s**t...

However, muslims do believe Jesus the pacifist was a prophet and he gets a few mentions. Unfortunately the warmonger prophet Muhammad is said to have delivered God's word verbatim but they cherry pick what they want, really, the lot of them even if Islam would do well with a renaissance and reformation.
