The Easter Sunday carnage has more to it than the theory linking it to the Christchurch mosque attacks. srilanka colombo
The carnage in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday has been condemned by people everywhere. Individuals and groups from different faith traditions have not ceased to emphasise that the mass slaughter of at least 321 persons in churches attending Easter services and in hotels on April 21 is a heinous crime in the eyes of any religion.
Compassion and empathy for Muslims from New Zealanders, a sizeable segment of whom are Christians, reciprocated by Muslims in the country and elsewhere with a profound sense of appreciation and respect for the people of New Zealand and especially Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, set the tone of the post massacre atmosphere.
Such elements can be found among both Muslims and Christians. Even others, including those who are aggressively atheistic have at different times in history deliberately sought to drive a wedge between the two communities. There is perhaps another reason which also explains the Sri Lanka episode. It serves the purpose of perpetuating the image of Islam and Muslims as inclined towards terrorism and violence.
After Christchurch where Muslims were victims of violence, some have taken it upon themselves to remind the world that Muslims are, all said and done, still perpetrators of violence.Since IS claims to be behind the carnage, one has to ask searching questions about IS itself. How did IS emerge? Who is helping to sustain IS? Who created it? Or for that matter, who hired Al-Qaeda?
