The headline:
quote:

Sri Lanka’s Muslims fear retaliation after Easter attacks on Christians

quote:

Mosque leaders have stopped broadcasting prayer calls over loudspeakers to avoid offending mourners. They have put up banners with messages of condolence for the victims. They have met with Catholic Church and police officials, and packed food kits for funeral volunteers.

They also are bracing for a wave of anger and possibly violent retaliation that has begun to emerge. Hateful online messages blaming Muslims for the attacks have evaded the government’s emergency social media ban, and stones have been thrown at several Muslim homes and businesses.

“We don’t know who is behind these attacks, and we condemn them with all our hearts, but many people are saying they were the work of Muslims, so we don’t know what could happen next,” said Mohammad Jinnah, a jeweler and member of the interfaith harmony committee at the Grand Mosque in South Negombo, 20 miles from the capital. “This used to be such a peaceful place, but now everything has turned upside down.”

I'm trying to imagine a similar headline in ANY other circumstance.

How about:

Sri Lankan Muslims have a lot to fear.

So do all Sri Lankan’s. Its a shithole country that has been the subject of tribal violence and civil war for its entire existence.

Muslims shouldn't have to live in fear just because they bombed churches on Easter Sunday

Since they were apparently only Easter Worshippers, all Muslims have to fear is the wrath of the bunny.

The middle east will never be peaceful. Just a bunch of theocracies attacking each other over which God is better.

It’s probably only one or two mosques doing what they are trying to generalize to all the Muslims.

And they should be afraid. The last time the Muslims did something like this in the Indian subcontinent, they got reminded what it’s like to be a minority in a non-white country. Spoiler alert: you don’t get to do things like this and not expect to get it back 10 fold.

They claim innocence but I bet if you listen to their Imans prayers they aren’t for peaceful existence with Kafirs they are for jihad for conversions.

You may need a map. Sri Lanka is an island off of the south eastern coast of India.
