I would not want to be in the shoes of the 10% Muslim minority in Sri Lanka, they will be met with utter distrust and maybe even revenge acts.

My mistake, I thought it was Tamil Tiger related, but it was a concerted effort by an Islamist group. No surprise our biased media will under report this as it wasn't conducted by a lone white Christian man.

It's not that all Muslims or any other group is bad, it's just the persistence of Islamic Terrorists groups existing world wide, on almost every Continent. There really is no other group like it.

Only Fox News mentioned they are suspecting a Muslim terrorist group of this. The Tamil Tigers were never fighting the Christians they were fighitng the Buddhist government. Christians were on the sidelines during that conflict. I don't think the other religious groups in Sri Lanka really hated the Christians and they haven't been targeted like this before. IT was an Islamic terrorist attack.

But I thought President Bush told us that Islam is the "religion of peace".

The Palestinians didn't start anything, and by "finish it", I assume you mean finish the ethnic cleansing of the West Bank and turn Gaza into a permanent prison colony.
The Palestinians started several wars. If they won't make peace on the obvious victors' terms, time for Israel to finish it.

I think it's totally possible it (the Notre Dame fire) was an accident.

Also possible it was deliberate by a White Frenchman do some anti Macron or anti religion grudge.
My wife and son believe Notre Dame was an accident. I am not so sure. But Radical Islam is just about guaranteeing that ultimately their will be retribution, and that it will be indiscriminate and tragic. Let's be clear about one thing; there is no one in radical Islam with whom to negotiate. The elite keeps prattling about a "peace process." But the Israelis cannot afford the luxury of negotiating with madmen and praying for the best. Right after 911 GWB went to a mosque to show how peaceful a religion he considered Islam to be, And yet there is a steady drumbeat of deadly or very destructive attacks.

If Islam does not want false accusations, as Notre Dame may well be, let there be some exercise of community control. There has to be consequences for someone, somewhere for atrocities such as the Easter Sunday attack in Sri Lanka.

I picked Islam has no governing body, and many sects, so there's really no accountability. There is something very wrong with Islam as 95% of all Terrorist attacks are Islamic and in almost every sizable country. Even though there are many Sects they always come together to defend their religion as if it was one, rather than just say there are bad sects that don't represent them. Of course Leftist here defend Islam period when it comes to Christianity.

Sri Lanka population is 23 million, nearly three-quarters are ethnic Sinhalese. The Tamils, the second-largest ethnic group, make up more than 15 percent of the population and live mainly in the north and northeast of the country. Muslims account for 10 percent of the population, and Christians about six percent.

Reports that the 13 arrested are all 'local'.

Whatever that means.

I hate to break it to you but they don't even like each other.

The Sunni and Shia are two of the main ones but there are numerous others, whilst there is also the Khawarij and Ibadi etc. The Ahmadi Muslims are the subject of much persecution by other muslims including sectarian murders.
