ISIS Claims Responsibility For Sri Lanka Attacks

On April 23, 2019, the ISIS news agency ‘Amaq released a statement on Telegram[1] claiming that the April 21, 2019, coordinated attacks in Sri Lanka were carried out by ISIS fighters. The claim reads: “Security sources to ‘Amaq agency: Perpetrators of the attacks targeting the citizens of the coalition nations and Christians in Sri Lanka two days ago are fighters of the Islamic State.” ISIS supporters are currently celebrating the attack, and were also doing so prior to publication of the claim of responsibility.[2]

ISIS Supporter Shares Photos Of Alleged Sri Lanka Bombers

On April 23, 2019, shortly before the Islamic State (ISIS) ‘Amaq news agency published the ISIS claim of responsibility for the coordinated attacks in Sri Lanka two days earlier, an ISIS media activist on Telegram published photographs of three armed Sri Lankan men posing in front of a banner used by ISIS. He claimed that they were three of the bombers who carried out the attacks in Sri Lanka on April 21, 2019.[1] The accompanying caption indicates that all three are dead.

One of the images shows a man who appears to be Zahran Hashim, a well-known preacher from the radical Islamic group in Sri Lanka known as the “National Tawheed Group”,[2] who has expressed ISIS sympathies in the past. Several unconfirmed media reports have identified Hashim as one of the suicide bombers. The ISIS claim of responsibility lends credence to the veracity of the assertion that the men depicted in the photographs were indeed among the perpetrators. Even before the ‘Amaq statement was published, ISIS supporters had been celebrating the attacks on social media.[3]

The following are the pictures shared by an ISIS supporter with the caption: “Pictures of some of the brothers who carried out the attacks in Sri Lanka, may Allah accept them.”

Well of course ISIS was involved, what else do you expect from single cell things like them that believe drinking a pint of camel wee is good for you.

As far as I’m concerned, it open season on them now – anywhere.

The left is all but supporting the Muslim terrorists, trying hard to shift the blame to conservatives instead:

WaPo is fundamentally a shill for the jihadists. Rather than warning their readers they are attempting to deflect their focus from the inherent evil that is Islam.

Open season on them should have been a long time ago, at least 1400 years. They are Islamitis infected vermin. Those inbreeds are incurable and should therefore be treated internationally like the Pest, Ebola, Cholera, Malaria, etc.

I believe those not collectively muscled by the pro-Islam MSM are not shocked. I avoid the MSM 99% of the time but take a peek now and again for amusement. Today, I forget on which cable news provider, the talking head was not able to come to terms regarding ISIS’s involvement in the Sri Lanka murder en-masse of Christians. Qualifying his ignorance with well it revenge of the NZ mosque attack. Once again confirming the biased and askew view that the victims of worldwide terrorism are Muslims, not Jews, Christians or Hindus.

Those whose dependence of obtaining the truth via the jaundiced Mass Media, whose sole intent is pro-Islam, pro-Leftist-Progressive dogma will awaken one day; however, it will be too late.

The man in the video declared that anyone who argues with a Muslim should be killed. I kid thee not. There is always a bit of embargo on news after an attack and certain organizations function as government filters. We receive selective information. Please remember that small fact.

What is out there – is far worse than many can imagine. I stand my watch as a citizen sentinel from day to day.

What forkin’ difference does it make if isis was involved? It was moslems. Once again, moslems mass murdered hundreds of human beings. A moslem is a moslem is a moslem. They are ALL the same. A moslem is the vilest of ALL creatures.

The Islamic State MUST be destroyed, every last trace. No Muslim Caliphate must ever again be allowed to taint our world.

Taliban are being surrendered to in Afghanistan. Al Qaeda remain unmolested in Idlibistan. These are all terrorist sharia states

They are not as dangerous as Daesh though, I think.

WAPO uses this horrific attack to send out warnings about the “far right” rather than identify and criticise the perpetrators. Bozos must be held personally responsible for all that is contained within the WaPo. By focusing attention on organizations and people who are not at all suspect, are completely innocent, WaPo is aiding and abetting terrorism just as much as if they furnished the suicide vests.
