[pismoe]

a bit more new news as the dead numbers rise . --- Scores die in Sri Lanka church attacks ---

 

[irosie91]

HEARING on FOX that death toll is 138 so far . WHO coulda done such a thing eh ??

The most likely would be isis types or the Tamil Tigers .

----------------------------------- thank you , i just figure that it was pious and devout muslims bombers and 'isis' fits that bill nicely . 'tamils' , are they also muslim ?? No matter with it being EASTER i just speculate that it was 'muslim' bombers Tommy .

tamils are HINDUS----and do have a history of suicide missions-----remember RAJIV?----the son of Indira Gandhi. ----
as far as my limited understanding---I would GUESS it was EITHER muslims or
tamils-------tamils do not have a history of attacking Christians, however

A review of Evangelical Christianity in Sri Lanka: The Politics of Growth, by Orlando Woods

Orlando Woods’s dissertation interprets the politics of evangelical Christian growth in Sri Lanka by framing proselytization via a religious economy. Situating his study with the rise of a Buddhist political elite after the 1980s, Woods states that the “moral impetus” for the dissertation is his “belief in the freedom of religious choice” over and against the Sri Lankan state’s attempts to restrict evangelical conversions, even while problematizing some of the coercive proselytization tactics used by evangelicals under the state’s radar (p. 3).

Accordingly, Woods is impelled to better understand the ethics of proselytization and the rise of anti-Christian politics in a “geo-religious” zone marked by two centuries of colonial Christian missionary activity. In so doing, he combines two theoretical constructs. First, he borrows from sociologist Fenggang Yang’s argument that there are differentiated religious markets, some of which are regulated by the state and some of which are more privatized and informal. Second, he modifies Anthony Giddens’s structuration theory to demonstrate that evangelical Christian growth can happen in Sri Lanka despite a hostile regulatory environment because evangelicals take advantage of multiple arenas to advance their conversionary agenda.

Woods’s central argument is that evangelical activity in Sri Lanka is best understood as agency within a structural mosaic. Moving between different niche markets to increase their religious presence, evangelicals have grown in competition to other religious groups, provoking the rise of a Buddhist right that construes this growth as a threat. Woods develops the theoretical underpinnings of this economic structure in Chapter 2. Drawing from Anthony Giddens and Nigel Thrift, he emphasizes the “heterogeneity of ‘structure’” that allows for evangelicals in Sri Lanka to cross structural categories of religion, sociality, culture, and the economy in order to evangelize in multiple geographical spheres (p. 39).

It is impossible to tell with liberals. And that is on them. If he was not serious, he needs to tell us that.

naw , the numbers look good to me Tommy .

The repressive Buddhist government of Sri Lanka has been fighting a brutal decades long civil with the Hindu terrorist group called the Tamil Tigers.

Muslims are only a small minority on the island and most likely had nothing to do with the church bombings. ...

[bodecea]

This begs the question though, and it's a lot like an old adage about a tree in a forest:

"if a Christian church gets bombed, burned, tampered with or otherwise violated, and it's not a BLACK church, or one at which possibly a gay wedding has just taken place, thereby allowing the "news" to paint white Christian bigots as the primary suspects immediatly and with certainty, will they even consider it newsworthy?"

So.....you are saying it's not newsworthy? How odd.
