  Three Christian churches and three luxury hotels have been attacked in Sri Lanka this morning resulting in more than 130 deaths.

  Buddhism is the state religion in Sri Lanka accounting for 70% of the population, Hindus make up 12% with Islam and Christianity comprising 9% and 7% respectively. No group has yet claimed responsibility.

  A civil war between government forces and separatist Tamil Tigers ended in 2009. The war lasted 26 years and cost at least 70,000 lives. There were some attacks on mosques last year by Buddhists but that would not account for this Easter day attack on Christians.

  So far every commentator on the news channels is carefully avoiding blaming the 'religion of peace'.

  I just read 280 killed and over 500 injured and yes it was the religion of peace.

  There is a strange attitude by western governments. When muslims are attacked it is "PROTECT THE MUSLIMS' When muslims attack others it is "PROTECT THE MUSLIMS " Strange

  More deplorable/wretched attacks from those in the 'peace' segment of society.

  Their Muslim population has reached the explosive stage?

  Expect no hand-wringing and vows of solidarity for Christians even though they are the most oppressed group globally and subject to far more attacks. The media ignores them.

  I like how most news media are talking about the civil war, buddists, hindus, etc, and having the word muslim as a footnote. It's already known the muslims did the attacks, but most media trying to hide it. I wonder if the aloha snackbars did it to the media centers, if they would still be hiding who did it.

  Christians don't suicide bomb. Buddhists don't suicide bomb. Hindus don't suicide bomb. Who's left?
