Who weeps for the children? (US MSM spins the deaths in SriLanka)

A liberal friend of mine who was born in India (but is a US Navy Veteran) put up a sarcastic post on her facebook page two days ago on why the "white people" lamented the destruction of a church, (i.e. Notre Dame fire) which was only stones, but remained silent over the deaths of "brown people".

Baldilocks, an AirForce vet, is even more sarcastic.

Baldilocks adds:

It’s interesting to note how often most of the American mainstream media has ignored the Islamist mass murders of dark-skinned Christians just in the past few years. Examples: Nigeria and Egypt.

it isn't much better today, when the WAPO laments "Christian Muslim Violence". 

the article is by "religious reporters", yet it is clueless when it comes to Asia.

For example, they write that there is no religious violence in Sri Lanka (ignore last year's Sinhalese Buddhists who staged anti Tamil Muslim riots after Muslims desecrated Buddhist Temples), and completely ignores that recent reports are that there is ISIS infiltration into local militant Islamic groups in SEAsia, including Indonesia and the Philippines.

Instead of seeing this as an organized plan of a world wide terrorist network inspired by a rigid 8th century version of Islam, they equate it to the individual crazies attacking churches etc. in the USA, and part of a war "between Christians and Muslims". Just ignore the militants who attack those Muslim Mosques which they deem heretical, or when they attack Han Chinese atheists, Buddhist temples, or  Hindu shrines, because these attacks don't fit the narrative either.

 Check below video.

At 18.00 they discuss ISIS being behind the attacks, something the official gov't denies. He notes that such a sophisticated attack could not be mounted so quickly after the New Zealand attack.





Most Muslims don't support such violence, of course, but those who protest are in danger of being killed as "infidels" or heretics. Nevertheless, some have raised their voices.

   Compare the level of outrage with what happened in Sri Lanka with Christchurch, NZ. Triple the amount of casualties and triple the amount of injured people. It offends me and other likeminded Muslims that we get special treatment and other equal humans don’t. #SriLanka

John Bachelor has a discussion of what this means: That ISIS is again planning to hit soft targets.... something that is not good news for us in the Philippines;

update: Austin Bay discusses the background of previous conflicts between the various ethnic groups in SriLanka, and explains why the attack was probably jihadis, not the (mainly Hindu) Tamil Tigers who waged a civil war for independence in the past. There is a worry this attack might reignite the ethnic conflicts, which is why the gov't is keeping the blame about who caused of the attack low key, but he also notes a lot of anger against the gov't, who had been warned by both India and the US that such an attack might be coming.
