Very sad

If there's a God, why hasn't the world been smited 10 times over? endthisworld smitethee

DawnRoseTurner Has Don, Jr been there lately eyeing property locations? 3 Luxury hotels were bombed. How convenient for a new Trump Hotel Sri Lanka. Harsh?

Hi

God please save your people oohh

Terrorists did this in Egypt two years ago same thing. Does the media talk about attacks on Christian church's but the second a Muslim attack they are all over it full bore calling islamaohbia and all that crap. Why are you afraid to call out Muslim terrorists

Horrible! Enough already!

Instead of the warped twisted leftist libs attacking Trump over securing the borders and keeping illegals out which he has a right to do, they should open their mouths on the real atrocities of the world where Christians, minorities and gays are being decimated in other areas

Gtrkt

Any comments from the Drama Queen PM of NZ? 🧕

Notre Dame, 3 other churches , and now 3 more all happened in less than one holy week.

I am a Muslim and I am against this horrible attack that took the souls of 160 people while they were worshipping God. Whose did this are out of their minds, and people who tweeting hatred are encouraging them to do that. Please can we stop spreading hatered against each others.

IlhanMN I guess SOME PEOPLE are up to no good again.

Prayers.

God have mercy on everyone in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 😞🙏🏻

It's indeed sad, killing innocent people.

PrayForSriLanka

People need to mind their business when it comes to churches. I am not religious. But if people want to attend that are peaceful.there and praying. Not hurting anyone.

Oh no

No need to guess it's the handiwork of some Islamic Jehadi group. Condolences to the family & friends of the dead. Prayers for those injured in this terrorist attack.

Cover it the same way you cover mosque attacks

In the name of Islam?

There goes the peaceful religion again.

I wander who’s behind those TERRORISTS attacks?.... Oops! I cannot say it b cause tweeter will close my account if I’m objective... But maybe if we go to Hezbollah or ISIS tweeter accounts we read them celebrating, but tweeter won’t close them.

🖕Islám

The Religion of Peace strikes again....

PrayforSriLanka

This is evil t the core,no matter what religion, if one belief in God evil like this don't cross your mind. All religions h a right to exist

Prayers for all.

breibart isn’t reporting this (yet). Good on CNN for beating them to it, and wait for the cries from the right that the left ignored a Christian massacre.

Wtf is wrong with people?! It’s 2019. This is fucked. Sorry for the language but I’m angry

Am calling on all big tech companies and other companies to stop advertising on MSNBC news and CNN they are affiliated with Democrats

Let them have faith. Respect each others' faith if you can't support it.

Soo Sad. Humanity is on perish .and Hate is already in our hearts.

Some people? 🙄 Oh I wonder.. is it

This is a total madness. No one should be attacked anywhere let alone in the house of God. May God punish those criminals for ever. Amin

REALLY? on Easter Sunday Sickening..... RIP to the deceased victims, speedy recovery to survivors terrorism

M

Sad.

Hopefully it was an accident and not some crazy people again

Hey CNN, so I am taking bets which weird line of reasoning you will use to make this Trump’s and his despicable supporter’s fault.

3 hotels

Meanwhile Pontifex 'reject the glitter of wealth'

Buddhists like in Myanmar?

So tragic..........humanity against humanity! Why? May God help, heal and comfort the broken hearted, injured people in Sri Lanka and May He give eternal rest to the deceased loved ones.....

Some more people doing some more things?

EasterSundayAttacksLK PrayforSriLanka

Very sad and shameful day on humanity. My deep condolences and prayers to all those affected in Shrilanka.

This must not be allowed to happen. There must be Justice against the people who did this immediately!

But it won't make the news because it's a church

The Buddhists are angry?

More than 160 people are dead 😫😭😭😭😭

5 churches 160 dead

Heart goes out to Sri Lanka.

No. It couldn’t possibly be a terrorism nexus? Nah.

IlhanMN Did ' Some People ' do this? You called the Covington boys RACISTS and WHITE SUPREMACISTS THEY WERNT You never Apologized tot hose Boys you Publicly MOCKED and HUMILIATED But these are 'Some People'

How can you call yourself a news channel when you are playing a pre-recorded marketplace Africa, when there has been major bombings in churches

Need to update this, the total and scale of this disaster has risen significantly since... Nearly 100+ casualties.

Guess it was Russia No look no further than Muslims

Churches you said?

Churches in France and Ontario have been attacked in past year.

Ecco la risposta ai fatti di Christchurch

6 explosions & more than 100 are dead

Wow...the Qur'an has very detailed instructions for how to treat The Infidels.

Why today.....why?

Terrorism has no nation and religion....

There have been 'many casualties including foreigners' tweeted Sri Lankan MP Harsha de Silva.

The three hotels Shangrila ,Cinnamon Grand Hotel and Kingsbury Hotel became targets of explosions.

I'm sure it's just a remodeling project that went wrong. It's all good.

Islam. Again.

Why is this not breaking news on your USA news station? I prefer to know the latest going on there than some repeat of a weed episode.

🙏😓

10 confirmed dead in Batticaloa as Easter Sunday bomb blasts rock Sri Lanka.

42 dead , 283 injured as six explosions Rock the Sri Lankan capital during Easter celebrations.

✨🙏🏽✨😢✨🙏🏽

😔🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Sri Lanka has been pretty quiet since the 90s. Are these the Tamil Tigers?

We all condemn acts of terror committed by those who have no sense of responsibility. The world will not be safe with terrorism.

Organized terrorism against Christianity?

Attack on churches on holy day of Easter is “Explosion”& attack on Mosques is “Terrorist attack “ . stilankaTerroristattack

How is it that what was once a bastion of love,has now become a symbol of hate?

Very unfortunate Colombo SriLanka

🙏prayers for Sri Lanka

Pakistan stands with Sri Lanka.

Nothing Brenton Tarrant couldn't handle.

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Wow. That sure is a lot of faulty wiring.

We pray there are no casualties as this week of MIRACLES, at St. Patrick’s Cathedral a man was luckily caught with a gas can! We pray for all there that this day of the Risen Lord, Ending the slavery of all people in bondage to the world to look to Jesus,Mary to console them!

Pray for the christians from Sri Lanka and the world

Everyone increasingly becoming intolerant each other now that inflicting death now seems the way to go.

We are now talking about 36 dead. No terrorist organization has taken responsibility for what appears to be a well-planned attack A series of bombings in churches and hotels at Easter in churches filled with innocent people

Terrorists condemn skirmishes in Sri Lanka Hotels & Churches: In this situation of sadness there is equal share Worldwide Muslim Ummah with oppressed families.😥

We pray for them today Easter Sunday.. in Jesus name ..Amen

I think,it’s a revenge to New Zealand incident! 🥺

Damn White Supremists strike again. When will it end?

And amid crises in the 🌎, Trump golfs. America needs a true presence in the 🌎to fight terrorism wherever it shows up and loyal allies to help America. Trump’s done zip in this regard except to drive allies away. He thinks US is an island that can survive alone. It can’t

Sooo...People are really out here killing each other over whose false prophet had better fairy tale commandments and who has a more favorable skin color!? Humans are such a joke. I’m too advanced. Hey elonmusk , when is the Mars shit going down? I’m over this world. Next

Terrible news as explosions rock three churches in Sri Lanka on Easter morning.

Lot of churches under attack lately. Probably not an ideology or anything.

Thanks Muslims

I'm an atheist but I really think that Christian civilization is just incapable of defend themselves. China has his hand on that and maybe the West will need to ask them for help..

Ilhan Somebody did Something today to 3 Christian Churches in Sri Lanka during Easter Mass 🤔. Could be the somebodies were Lutherans? 🤣🤣

Before Conservatives get all in a craze, if it's Tamil, it's probably Hindu. That being said, don't forget Christian violence still happens around the world. Don't blame the religion; blame those that exploit it for power. All religions have bad people that act perversely.

Christians , Catholics, are being target of oppression and terrorism since the Jesus Christ ... CatholicChurch

CBC would never report this...because they cannot report truth.

Hum 🧐 who’s doing this? 🥴 Maybe Muslims?

intelwire Anyone surprised that there “might be” religious reasons for this just like Trump trying to prevent Muslim Immigration?

Some people did something

On one of the holiest days of the year too... 😢😓

Why do you people care? You love it when Christians suffer.

Pakistan based mulsim terrorists behind this attack. They took revenge for new zealand

Waiting for the outrage from CNN over the killings of Christians in their place of worship.

srilanka 🇱🇰 Easter 🐣 eastersunday

Nothing to see here. It was an electrical short circuit

Global war against Christianity.

Horrible Sunday

😢

Hate crime

The End Times...😓
