Six nearly simultaneous explosions struck three churches and three high-end hotels frequented by tourists on Easter Sunday in Sri Lanka, killing nearly 200 people and injuring many more, according to police and hospital sources.

Multiple fatalities -- including 11 foreigners -- resulted among worshipers and hotel guests, a police official said, adding that at least two of the church blasts were believed to have been a coordinated attack carried out by suicide bombers.

The first explosions occurred around 8:45 a.m., with the deadliest appearing to be at St. Sebastian’s Church in Negombo, a city about 20 miles north of Colombo, the capital. Other attacks occurred at St. Anthony’s Shrine in Colombo and Zion Church in the eastern city of Batticaloa. The three hotels -- the Shangri La, Cinnamon Grand and Kingsbury Hotel -- all in Colombo, are frequented by foreign tourists.

Photos posted to social media showed blood and debris inside the targeted churches.

We need more Muslim immigrants. They will change for the better when they see the wonders of a free society first hand.

I'm going out on a limb here but was it white nationalists that heard the words of trump that did this? Or was it another religion of peace

They were provoked. If Christians would just cancel Christmas and Easter. And then stop building churches that are so darned ostentatious. That's just asking for this kind of trouble.

The religion that guy is kills more people and causes more explosions in the US than any other religion does. Religion of peace. Incompatible with western culture. Derp.

ETA: Truth hurts, history isn’t hard, etc
