Blasts rock 3 churches, 3 hotels in Sri Lanka; multiple fatalities reported

[Uncensored2008]

FYI----the muslim population of sri lanka is just short or 10%

Only takes a few. Lets get this party started. Do they have open borders like Chancy wants?

It's either the Muzzie Beasts or the Tamil Tigers. But this smacks of Muzzie Beast.

 

[Correll]

Interesting. So, based on that logic, would it be ok for a community in this nation to ban Muslims, and if not, why not?

Who are the evangelicals in congress?? Who are the Muslims in congress?

NOt sure.

Are you trying to imply that there are not muslims or muslims factions with political goals and/or interests?

Penelope lies to defend terrorists all the time.

I know, but sometimes it is fun to play, "lets take the liberal at their word, and see where their logic takes US".

It would be like a drunk riding a merry go round.

Exactly!

Heartfelt condolences from the people of the United States to the people of Sri Lanka on the horrible terrorist attacks on churches and hotels that have killed at least 138 million people and badly injured 600 more. We stand ready to help!

He really should proof read before publishing.

Oh, God. I got excited that he was actually tweeting an appropriate message until I got to "138 million people."
Are we sure he's alright?

Number is accurate. Learn to read for content, Herr Himmler. He did not say this one incident.

You're actually gonna try to turn this into an alternative fact?
LOL

I'm glad they fixed it.

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).

The rise of the Evangelicals in France is also the reason for fight against Christianity.

The Evangelicals in the US are the main cause of division in the US as well.

Liberal filth like you is the cause of the division in the USA.

Nope, the evangelicals. Always trying to stir things up about abortion, gays, whatever they can. They are like the far right , pretending religious zealots.

 

[Tijn Von Ingersleben]

The crazy part about this is that Sri Lanka is overwhelmingly Buddhist. Hmmm...want to let this unfold to see the details.

You really think you will get the truth?

There are certain sources I trust. None will be mainstream...of course.

You didn't answer Ahmed. how many people have been killed in attacks on churches?

Your people in the last Caliphate slaughtered 4 million in the genocide you Muslims perpetrated on Armenians alone.

 

[OldLady]

There are over two hundred people dead who did nothing but get up and go about their business this morning. Many hundreds more are hurt, no doubt many hurt badly. The explosions will echo through the souls of every single person near those churches or hotels, regardless if they were hurt.

It is obscene, and those of you who are pushing MORE violence to counteract it are not helping.

I used to say this tongue in cheek, but it becomes less so with every attack.

Destroy the idol. If Allah cannot defend his own idol, he certainly is no god. Of course he was never anything but a second rate Djin in the first place.

An eye for an eye makes everybody blind.
Someone famous said that. Gandhi, maybe? He won through in the end with complete and total pacifism. I am not saying we should not defend ourselves or even that taking land from ISIS was wrong. I am saying that the miserable reactions here will take us nowhere but further down.

So, when liberals push a political agenda on "abortion, gay, whatever they can" that is OK, in your book,

but if someone, like say, evangelicals do the same, then it is "causing division"?


So, is there any definition on this concept of good vs bad, other than siding with you, or against you?
