Islamic State supporters are celebrating the Sri Lanka suicide bombings which killed 290 people on Easter Sunday and left around another 500 injured.

No group has officially claimed responsibility for the blasts at five-star hotels and churches but Sri Lankan police say a previously unknown Muslim extremist group were the subject of an intelligence warning ten days before.
SITE Intelligence Group director Rita Katz said IS supporters have applauded the attacks on social media, ‘celebrating casualties’

ADVERTISINGRita Katz, director of respected terror monitoring SITE Intelligence Group, said IS supporters have applauded the attacks on social media, ‘celebrating casualties’.
Ms Katz said IS media channels were ‘posting rampantly’ about the blasts and praying ‘may Allah accept’ the suicide bombers.
She claimed that the online praise indicated the group may be preparing to take responsibility for the attacks.
A map showing where the eight blasts went off, six of them in very quick succession on Easter Sunday morning‘While such a claim may frame the op as revenge for New Zealand, this was likely planned long before,’ she said.
Australian born Brenton Tarrant is facing 50 counts of murder and 39 counts of attempted murder after opening fire on two mosques in Christchurch on March 15.
Fighters from Sri Lanka have been mentioned in ISIS ranks and the country would be ‘easily accessible’ for fanatics, Ms Katz said.
Several Sri Lankan Muslims from ‘well-educated and elite’ families were known to have joined the terror group in Syria, according to Reuters.
The attacks follow just weeks after ISIS launched a global military initiative branded the ‘Revenge Invasion’ as payback for the loss of their territory in Syria.
Police have so far arrested 13 people over the Sri Lanka attacks, describing those in custody only as ‘religious extremists’.
Ten days ago, according to documents seen by the AFP new agency, Sri Lanka’s police chief Pujuth Jayasundara issued an intelligence alert to top officers warning Islamist suicide bombers planned to hit ‘prominent churches’.

‘A foreign intelligence agency has reported that the NTJ (National Thowheeth Jama’ath) is planning to carry out suicide attacks targeting prominent churches as well as the Indian high commission in Colombo,’ the alert said.
The NTJ is a small radical Muslim group in Sri Lanka which has no history of mass fatal attacks, but came to prominence last year linked to the vandalism and desecration of Buddhist statues.
Prime minister Ranil Wickremesinghe admitted that information about the attacks had been received in advance but denied having direct knowledge himself.
‘We must look into why adequate precautions were not taken. Neither I nor the ministers were kept informed,’ he said following intense anger in the community.
Manisha Gunasekera, the Sri Lankan High Commissioner to the UK, has said eight British nationals were killed in the attacks.

When will we stop blaming “islamust terrorist groups” and “isis”? When the blame falls fully on the shoulders of moslems (the vilest of ALL creatures). Yes, ALL moslems. OVER six thousand Christian human beings brutally murdered in Nigeria … in just one year, by moslems (the vilest of ALL creatures). How many in Egypt, turkeyland, Kenya, Iraq, Iran, Syria .. and the list goes on and on and on?
Eye for eye. Tooth for tooth. If there was actually any justice, in this world, there would not be one mosque left standing … And, not so much as one moslem left alive.

The MS media censors and obfuscates the truth. Who won the election in Finland, the next TV news presenter did not even mention the winning party a week ago and how many seats it won. 
Finnish TV news presenter Marjukka Havumäki (YLE) lied on April 15 this year. The winning party did not win 5 seats as she claimed. She was silent on the party which won 22 seats.

‘Why United nations or usa wants them scattered world wide is unknown to me’
Because the Globalists/UN want to create as much chaos and terror in the West as possible – Then they will inform the ‘sheeple’ that they (the Globalists/UN) will save us all by putting in place a One World Government………divide and conquer. The West was too stable to accept the tyranny of a One Word Government, they have to destabilise it.

Worrying, little known militant Muslim group, with no apparent history of large-scale mass-casualty terror assaults, suddenly transformed full demonic jihadi. How many others are undergoing similar monstrous radicalization, apart lone scattered individuals? So Christians observing sacred holiday in local churches and celebrating at hotel restaurants, are — for their faith — massacred en-mass! Suicide bombers clearly wanted to tear Christian worshipers to pieces with shrapnel: Unholy religious war, fanatics of “Religion of Peace”, increasingly wage around the world. How long before European & North American places of worship, are instantly turned into death slaughterhouses? (Previews not wanting.) One reading by migration influx: in N.A., not all who enter are from Latin World. In Europe — inflow mostly Muslim! Heedless, some Western nations permit ISIS savages back into national sheep folds: — Like ushering wild predatory beasts, and vicious mates, into family homes.
SILENCE prevails, billion+ Muslims, around the World deafening: WHERE voices thunderous of condemnation, all quarters of Islam, geographic and colonial, expressing sorrow and outrage? (A few, though cases, sincerity questionable.) Unheard, messages issued like, “We stand with you!” Rather, whether openly shouted in celebration or secretly harbored in malice, as with Notre Dame in flames, probable sentiment closer to, We stand AGAINST you!

Islam needs to be banned and ALL Muslims deported back to the turd piles they crawled out of.

As they celebrate their “victory”, the left tries to support them by blaming conservatives for their anger over the Sri Lanka bombings:

Let the muslims gloat and celebrate when the rest of the world will say enough and consign them all to hell. I doubt even Satan wouldn’t want them.. The odds are 5 billion non-muslims and 1 1/2 billion muslims. What do you think will happen with such odds ?
