Sri Lanka arrests 40 Muslims after jihad bombings, death toll up to 310

28

40 — that’s a giant pack of lone wolves. The Sri Lanka jihad massacres once again explode the enemedia narrative, which seeks to portray every last jihad attack as the work of a “lone wolf,” and usually a “mentally ill lone wolf.” This was a carefully planned, coordinated operation, designed to maximize the carnage. Will there be a reevaluation of counterterror approaches worldwide? There should be.

“As Sri Lanka mourns, Islamic State claims Easter bombings,” by Emily Schmall and Krishan Francis, AP, April 23, 2019 (thanks to Wendy):

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — As the death toll from the Easter bombings in Sri Lanka rose to 321 on Tuesday, the Islamic State group claimed responsibility and released images that purported to show the attackers, while the country’s prime minister warned that several suspects armed with explosives are still at large.

Another top government official said the suicide bombings at the churches, hotels and other sites were carried out by Islamic fundamentalists in apparent retaliation for the New Zealand mosque massacres last month that a white supremacist has been charged with carrying out.

The Islamic State group, which has lost all the territory it once held in Iraq and Syria, has made a series of unsupported claims of responsibility and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said that investigators were still determining the extent of the bombers’ foreign links.

Sri Lankan authorities have blamed the attacks on National Towheed Jamaar, a little-known Islamic extremist group in the island nation. Its leader, alternately known as Mohammed Zahran or Zahran Hashmi, became known to Muslim leaders three years ago for his incendiary speeches online.

The IS group’s Aamaq news agency released an image purported to show the leader of the attackers, standing amid seven others whose faces are covered. The group did not provide any other evidence for its claim, and the identities of those depicted in the image were not independently verified….

Also Tuesday, the military employed special police powers that it last used during a devastating civil war that ended in 2009. Among the 40 people arrested on suspicion of links to the bombings were the driver of a van allegedly used by the suicide attackers and the owner of a house where some of them lived….

Now let’s remember that islam is a religeon of peace… As rivers of blood run down the street and the bodies pile up.

What actually surprises me, almost to the point of being shocked … Why is there a single mosque, still standing, in Sri Lanka? Why is there a single moslem left alive? This atrocity was perpetrated by moslems. And, a moslem is a moslem is a moslem. They are ALL the same, the vilest of ALL creatures.

Time for many countries to round up Muslims and just keep them in camps as they did for Germans. Japanese and those supporters during WW2

It needs to be done, but just imagine the outcry of libs, “civil rights” groups and MSM. After they’re rounded up spay or neuter so they can’t make more mooselems. Then after that have mass deportations.

There are only three options in the future:
deport them all
submit or
war.
The middle ground approach is not working.

In fact, appeasement by the West is looked upon as weakness by Islamists.
