There has been an influx of Islamic "refugees" from Myanmar in the last decade. Basically, the "Rohingya" have settled in pockets in Sri Lanka Dearborn, Michigan style. As a result, the tensions between the non-assimilating Muslims and everybody else is pretty high. As for their recently ended Civil War, I don't believe issues tied to it are applicable in this case, but it can't be ruled out. Time will tell.

Sorry just used to the “media won’t cover this argument on here’” I agree very tired of this.

I don't think this has any connection to the recent war. I certainly don't claim to be an expert on Sri Lanka after spending 4 weeks there, but we did speak to many different people there about just these things and it seemed they (Buddhist, Christian, and Moslem) just wanted to rebuild and move forward. But extremists exist in every society and today is a very symbolic day, so I guess the assholes used it to get attention.

Imagine if there were no religion. I'm not talking about the song. How many killings are there due to religious reasons? Would there be killings without religion?

Me too, my friend. Death toll just hit 115 in my friend's local Catholic church. Those are friends and neighbors who just wanted to celebrate Easter Mass with their families. It's different to see the news when you've been there and met the people who are now affected.

Religion is merely a prop. It's not about the religion. It's about a bunch of poor as dirt shitheads who are jealous of the Western World. Plain and simple.

You know the trailer park trash kids and ghetto kids here in the US who ride around destructing stuff and painting all over it just because it's nice? In the grand scheme of things, that's what terrorism is. But on a much larger and more violent scale.

Religion gives them the catalyst to organize and "purpose". If it were just some groups that happened to not like others, nothing on this scale would occur.
