Christians Murdered in Easter terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka

[A Quiet Monkfish]

At leat 150.
Hope the Muslim community come out in support of us like the West’s response to one loonies actions in NZ.

Must have happened not long after I was admiring the Ramadam section of delights in Tesco last night.

Wonder why outrages against Mosques, etc the media - particularly the BBC - use the word 'Muslims' frequently in their headlines and editorial. Reading the BBC leader article the world 'Christian' gets an indirect mention [via the Pope] after about 500 words.

The BBC journos must must be choking on their falafels..

On the BBC story I read, it mentions churches and Easter right at the start. Are you really so bothered that you need to see the word 'christian' too?

You should take it as reassurance that they assume their readers can join the dots. Maybe Christianity isn't as dead as some on here say?

By the way, it seems a bit poor for tesco to label their food section after Ramadan, which is a festival specifically about fasting. Do they really call it Ramadan delights?

I used to love Ramadan.

I'm not Muslim (not anything but a complete atheist since the age of 12) but in the mid 1980s I was a Sheffield bus conductor and regularly worked with Muslim drivers. During Ramadan one of my regular drivers (Mo) was met at dusk at a bus stop by his wife and kids, and a big bag of food handed over. We would then floor it to the terminus to create a longer turn-around time and share.

Mo's wife was a fantastic cook!
