Terrible news from Sri Lanka

You’d think the world had enough problems without this sort of mindless thuggery. Terrible for all those involved.

When we were over there we were constantly told of how proud the Sri Lankans were that, since the civil war, all the religious groups had lived together harmoniously. So I do hope that, whoever is responsible for this atrocity, they do not claim to have acted in the name of any one religion (although that does seem to be the root of so many problems in our troubled world). 

Afraid it’s not just Sri Lanka. It would be lovely if the World could take a long hard look at all religions and cherry pick what’s good about them all, and forget all the divisiveness and cruelty, bigotry and misunderstandings. Many countries held back from progressing because of religion, and a few others that like to consider themselves forward thinking could adopt some of the kindness and compassion that underpin a lot of religious beliefs. Good and bad in all sadly.

Sympathy to all the innocents that were killed and injured in this brutal attack.  

Oh it's desperately sad. Even here in the UK today I had a separatist advocating email asking all to 'click here' if they were 100% English. 

We live in dangerous times!

Dispicable!

A terrible event. It would now appear that 8 UK citizens are amongst the dead. No one group has claimed responsibility yet, but it may well be a branch of the Tamil Tigers.

Such a terrible atrocity. I thought of you and your OH touring there recently moulsey. If only all people regardless of their religious or political beliefs would treat each other with respect and tolerance.
