The attacks seem to have hall marks of Muslim terrorism. But according to the article below, Christians and Muslims have been subject to frequent attacks by Buddhist extremists.

Yes to both questions. They would be sinning, as all humans do, and would have to sincerely ask
God for forgiveness and do their best to live their faith.

The attacks seem to have all marks of the ongoing conflicts between ethnic groups within Sri Lanka which has nothing to do with Islam.

These bombings appear to be organized attacks on places where lots of people gather- hotels and churches.

Very Sad that some Muslims use religion to justify intolerance of others, brutality and mass killing

Sri Lanka terrorism has hallmarks of previous attacks - Jeruslam Post

This is likely a continuation of the decades old conflicts between segments of the Tamil ethnic group and Sinhalese. Nothing to do with Islam.

These attacks were against Christian churches conducting holiday church services as well as hotels that are frequented by foreign tourist. The nature of the attack is the hallmark of Islamic terrorist (suicide bombers in crowded areas).

Where does Mohammed play a role here?

You might want to do more research into the two groups. The majority group is Buddhist while the minority group is made up of Christians, Muslims, and Hindus. Because of its geographical location it’s more likely this was a coordinated attack by Muslim terrorist from a nearby country.

The immediate role is to show the contrast with Jesus you described in your own words. And as the facts of the Christian massacre are uncovered, there may be a bigger role in play.

I'll wait for the facts to come out.

You brought up muslims with your BS attempt to paint them as persecuted while the destroyed bodies of people attending a church service are still warm and bloody.

Happy Easter.

Sri Lanka authorities have begun arresting Muslims who may be tied to the attacks.
