On Easter Sunday, the American media went to extraordinary lengths to avoid the “I” word in what was the worst Islamic attack attack in Sri Lankan history, and instead promoted the work of clowns like this:

Only responding to Geller because this tweet is circulating in Sri Lankan circles on WhatsApp and Facebook (who probably have no idea who she is):
Nobody, including ISIS, has claimed the attack. Don’t listen to Geller on any topic. #SriLanka https://t.co/gWoAmOBTRn

The American media went to extraordinary lengths to avoid the “I” word, but now it is unavoidable. Watch them hide behind the group name or some other nonsense to protect Islam. Make no mistake: everywhere there are Muslims, there is conflict, strife, hatred and murder. Jihadis the world over fight the same cause and use the same playbook, the Quran.
Where is the global outrage we saw in the wake of the Christ Church shooting? Where are the calls to expunge the genocidal texts and teachings in Islam that inspire to commit these atrocities worldwide?

An Islamic group blamed for a series of suicide bombings that killed almost 300 people and injured about 500 others in Sri Lanka was a local branch of ISIS, it is claimed.

Who are National Thowheed Jamath? ‘ISIS branch’ blamed for Sri Lanka attacks
National Thowheed Jamath – the extremist group blamed for deadly bombings at churches and hotels in Sri Lanka – is a local branch of ISIS, a security expert says

A radical Islamic group blamed for a series of suicide bombings that killed almost 300 people and injured about 500 others in Sri Lanka was a local branch of ISIS, it is claimed.
Members of National Thowheed Jamath are alleged to have blown themselves up at three churches and three hotels on the Indian Ocean island with help from an international network.
All of the Easter Sunday bombers were Sri Lankan nationals, and the government has said there were several warnings of possible attacks in the days before the massacre that included eight Britons among the dead.
A local Muslim extremist group now stands accused of the worst attacks since the end of Sri Lanka’s civil war in 2009 and one of the world’s worst since 9/11 – but little is known about them.

National Thowheed Jamath (NTJ), also known as National Thowheeth Jama’ath, hasn’t claimed responsibility for the attacks – no group has as of Monday afternoon – but it has been blamed by Sri Lanka’s government.It is believed to be a splinter group of the hardline Sri Lanka Thowheed Jamath (SLTJ), and its name roughly translates as National Monotheism Organisation.
Before the attacks the NTJ had been accused of promoting Islamic terrorist ideology, and had been known for vandalising Buddhist statues on the island.
Its secretary, Abdul Razik, was arrested on suspicion of inciting racism in 2016. He later apologised.

A security expert says the group was the ISIS branch in Sri Lanka and perpetrators were known to have links to Sri Lankans who travelled to the Middle East to join the terror group in Syria and Iraq.
About two weeks before the bombings, an advisory from a police official warned that NTJ could possibly attack churches or tourist sites over the Easter holiday.
Cabinet spokesman Rajitha Senaratne, the country’s health minister, told reporters that the extremists who carried out the bombings had help from an international network.
He said: “We do not believe these attacks were carried out by a group of people who were confined to this country.
Hotels as well as Churches across parts of the country have been targeted
“There was an international network without which these attacks could not have succeeded.”
Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena’s office said intelligence reports indicated foreign terrorist organisations were behind Sri Lankan militants.
He he would seek “international assistance” in the investigation. Interpol announced it was joining the probe.
Rohan Gunaratna, a Singapore-based security expert, said the Sri Lankan group was the ISIS branch in Sri Lanka and perpetrators were known to have links to Sri Lankans who travelled to the Middle East to join the terror group in Syria and Iraq.

Alto Labetubun, an anti-terrorism expert, told Reuters that the bombings bore the hallmarks of militant groups such as Islamic State and al-Qaeda, citing the level of sophistication of the attacks.
He said: “These synchronised attacks are out of the ordinary for Sri Lanka. Compared with similar attacks in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, it has the DNA of attacks carried out by Islamic State and al Qaeda.”
A senior Asian counter-terrorism official, who declined to be named, told Reuters the attack was likely carried out by a group with “significant operational capability and skilled commanders”.
Twenty-four local people have been arrested as part of the investigation.
The US State Department has issued a travel warning that said there was a threat of more attacks against locations including tourist sites, hotels, restaurants, airports and places of worship.

In light of what’s happened, perhaps there will be repercussions in other places involving Islams religious places because something has to happen to stop these people in their tracks.

Horrible slaughter on Easter Sunday deserves the condemnation of the civilized world. Unfortunately boomer hags in the US are more concerned about euthanized unwanted pets than they are about this attack. Sadly it will only get worse.

We’ll be seeing terrorist attacks like these across the dying atheist West soon enough — it’ll give atheist comedians plenty of material to chortle about.

How many non-violent, peaceful, “good”, “moderate”, “decent” muslums were involved in funding or facilitating this terrorist attack?

There are two million Muslims in Sri Lanka, even two dozen of them could have easily done this.

Jihadists don’t fund themselves. Terrorism isn’t a for-profit business venture is it? So who’s funding it? OTHER muslums.

As the Muslims continue to target civilians around the world, the left is trying to deflect and blame the “far-right” for their reactions to the Easter Sunday bombings:

European governments have already created this terrorist network in Europe, because the arabs and other contagion live throughout EUROPE – from Greece to Norway and create lawlessness and terror throughout EUROPE! Corrupt and treacherous European governments are on trial.

Pamela Geller is telling the truth regarding ISIS and their proxy fronts. Any one who thinks ISIS has been defeated is foolish indeed.
