“It was a river of blood. Ash was falling like snow.”
Imagine if anyone dared to shutdown social media after Christ Church shooting in order to protect the ideology of the shooter. Every deadly Islamic attack is followed by more sharia, more proselytizing, more taqiya shoved down our throats while all other attacks are blamed on the “right” without any connection whatsoever. People are going to rise up against this war against truth and freedom.
As Christians in Sri Lanka gathered on Sunday morning to celebrate Easter Mass, the culmination of Holy Week, powerful explosions ripped through three churches packed with worshipers, leaving hundreds of victims amid a havoc of splintered and blood-spattered pews.
In what the police said were coordinated terrorist attacks carried out by a single group, bombers also struck three hotels popular with tourists. At least 207 people were killed and 450 others injured, a police spokesman, Ruwan Gunasekera, said.

A WAVE OF EXPLOSIONS AS WORSHIPERS CELEBRATED MASS
Images from the bombing sites showed bloodied and shattered pews and victims lying on the floor of houses of worship. The walls and windows of the targeted hotels were blown out.
Some of the victims were killed as worshipers gathered for Mass at St. Anthony’s Shrine in Colombo; St. Sebastian’s Church in Negombo, about 20 miles north of Colombo; and Zion Church in the eastern city of Batticaloa, officials said.
