PrayforSriLanka

Some people did something

Oh so sad!!

Duh Gusti....

Hmm lemme guess. The religion of peace?

Such sad news

Why This is horrible. Life is precious why must one take away the life of another I don’t get it.

Tell me again how Islam is the ReligionOfPeace?

Killing each other for who has the wrong immaginary friend....

Those responsible of that Easter terrorist attack deserve gun shots publicly and throw to hungriest crocodiles.

So sad. My thoughts and prayers goes to the people of Sri Lanka.

People with a religious foundation are clearly morally superior

I reckon the bomber/s trying to put Christians in the same league as foreigners staying at the hotels. Would make sense as there has been huge conflict with Christians and British colonisation in Sri Lanka in the past.

RIP

Some people did something.

😞😢

Oh, please

Peaceful religious folks again

I just don’t understand why... 🙏🏻💔🙏🏻

RIP 😞

Call it out for what it is - an attack carried out by Islamic extremist suicide bomber jihadists, targeting Christians and Catholics on Easter Sunday mass = terrorist attack
