This looks like a JV operation to me.

Something is still off about it.
IS would have taken some credit for it by now. A minority religion expending this many resources to attack another minority religion?
Can they pull this off themselves? Is there another agenda at play? Especially given no credit has been taken and no agenda or motive declared?
The group being floated has a history of attacking Buddhist monuments. If they were using it as a recruitment tool they would have taken responsibility for it by now right?
The government admits it should have been able to stop it. So there is that...

If you think about it over the span of many subjects he is always posting the opposite view, the ultra liberal narrative as if someone is paying for it. I could, not that I would create a user name and post a bunch of stuff and many here would say "hey that's Ely and I am sure of it".

Well, he didn't call him stupid, he asked if he was stupid.
Always helpful information when replying to others.

Government was alerted very early of the attacks, did nothing.
Told no one.

Thing is attacking Christians doesn't make much sense Why waste the resources to pull off something this big when you're real enemy is the Sinahlese? For them it would have to be a part, or opening salvo, of a bigger agenda.
Nothing about this makes any sense so far.

This attack on Sri Lanker Christians makes sense.
The real enemy and target of Muslim jihadists are Christians and Jews.

And the number of Christians and Jews, not to mention the many Catholic Churches and synagogues burned in France, are sickening all the more.

That report is 11 months old, but it seems a Buddist sect is the religious majority there and is targeting all religious minorities.

Both 0bama and Hillary tweeted about the Easter worshippers, but nothing about the persecuted Christians.

Never heard the expression "Easter Worshippers"
Which planet do you live on? They're called CHRISTIANS. Not "EASTER WORSHIPPERS"

The phrase, or some variation of it, refers to "good Christians" who demonstrate their deeply held faith by going to church every Easter, and rarely if ever otherwise.

The group is Tamil so it could be seen as an effort to restart the Civil War.
Also Christian's are a relatively ignored minority in the country anyway so the targeting is confusing.
However the level of sophistication doesn't point towards an external group like AQ or IS... or any other really for that matter.
Plus they would have likely taken credit by now.

This is incorrect. The Tamil people follow different religions (Hindu, Christian, Catholic and Muslim). Most of Sri Lanka's Christian population are ethnically Tamil. Tamil Muslim's didn't actually participate in the civil war, Tamil army consisted of Hindu, Christian and Catholic Tamil people. After a 25 year civil war, both groups are tired of the violence.
Now everyone's just wondering, why Sri Lanka didn't move on the information. Yeah, the wording of those tweets, I have no idea...
