No-one really pays it much heed, beyond the frothing-at-the-mouth rabid hardline socialists

Sri Lanka

[Ach]

It's sickening

Sri Lanka

The Sri Lankan bloke in my local shop was pretty angry this morning.

Another series of cowardly, murderous acts by radical muslims.

[UFGN]

Evil scumbags

When you kill innocent people, especially kids, theres no discussion to be had

Im not someone who advocates war easily but good luck to Sri Lanka's special forces and anyone elses for that matter who are fighting these extremist Islamist scum, under whatever label they call themselves. Burn the c**** alive until there's none left. No-one will mind.

I do wish people wouldn't use language that associates these people as "Islamist's" or "Radical Muslims".

What these people are doing is not even recognisable to any mainstream muslim cause, its a political terrorist back water group that has no association with anyone outside of Sri Lanka, they may have contacts in Pakistan if that but this is really a local issue and Islam just happens to be their religion, the real issue is a power struggle between local factions who live like its the 1930's.

All that type of language does is feed the Right Wing agenda against normal muslim's.

To compare we didn't tie the IRA into Catholics worldwide, we didn't call them Catholic Extremists or slag off every normal joe Irishman.

No muslims in the Middle East, Turkey or anywhere know anything about or have any association with what these 3rd world Jungle rats are doing, its a local power struggle that's all.

The Provisional IRAs cause was/is not religiously motivated.

They were/are an Irish Republican paramilitary organisation who’s aim was/is the end of British rule on the island of Ireland. Nowhere in their aims is anything about religion mentioned. In fact a good number of their leadership are/were traditionally Marxist revolutionary in their ideals, and so opposed to any sort of religious influence on the state.

Firstly no group from what I read has even taken responsibility but for the sake of argument we can obviously go with the fact that they are muslim (targeted churches on Easter).

But the fact is the end game is no different, political terrorist groups like these in countries like these use Islam as a rallying call to coax people into their agenda, the same way NI Protestants banded against Southern Irish Catholics.
You may say the IRA cause wasn't religious but that's not how the people of Northern Ireland felt on the streets, fact is the IRA did it for power against the British and its no different here.

That's the problem with religion, its used as a cause of division by people who need an army or willing group to gain power, the people who lead these groups are about as pious as a Paedo Priest.

Take Islam away and they'll still be fighting, they'd just find another rallying call .......... but the fact stands that these "muslims" in Sri Lanka have fk all in common or to do with muslims outside of their country, are they Shia, are they Sunni, does anybody even care?

No, its local only.

I agree with the principal with what you're saying but if you're going to give Isis and their ilk an umbrella term it should be accurate, and note I didn't refer to them as Muslims but as Islamists... their motivation is at least in part Islam but I wouldn't insult real Muslims by calling these filth Muslims

The aim of the IRA was to act as a front for armed robbery, extortion etc

The “foot soldiers“ were just pawns who bought the sectarian rhetoric. Same goes for the other side in that conflict.

You end up with a toxic mix of religious facism and organised crime

Same goes for most other conflicts involving religious sectarianism. The war Lords at the top don't give a f**k about religion, its all about money and power to them

Including the Balkans, Rwanda and I dare say these Isis c****
