Here we go. It happens every time we see when devout Muslims slaughter, maim and mutilate in the cause of Allah, or plot to do so. No recriminations, no calls to examine the ideological roots of the jihad terror. No, we are told we must eradicate any form of opposition to this savagery. The victims are blamed and the Muslim is declared the victim. The unsuspecting public is accused of “fear of reprisals” and calls to “brace for backlash.”
If the left thinks that the people are going to continue to be victims to this, they are grossly mistaken.
“After Sri Lanka Christian Massacre, Media Deploys ‘Muslims Fear Backlash’ Meme,” by Daniel Greenfield, FrontPage, April 25, 2019 (thanks to Mark):
The media’s lack of decency can be scientifically measured by the interval of time that passes between a Muslim terrorist attack and its attempt to shift the conversation, transforming perpetrators into victims, by deploying its, “Muslims fear backlash” meme.
The media’s patience after the Islamic church bombings in Sri Lanka was impressive. It may even be a new record.
But the New York Times and the Washington Post (not to mention, obviously, Al Jazeera) have deployed the ultimate weapon.
Sri Lanka’s Muslims Face an Angry Backlash After Easter Sunday Attacks, the New York Times weeps.
Sri Lanka’s Muslims Fear Retaliation After Easter Attacks on Christians, the Washington Post fusses.
The New York Times claims that “Christian gangs” are running amok terrorizing helpless Muslim victims. And this is happening in a country where Christians are not only a minority, but are outnumbered by Muslims.
The Times portrays Muslim migrants in Sri Lanka as fleeing for their lives from Christian “gangs”. The Post claims that. “in Colombo, Muslims have formed ad hoc neighborhood watch committees, checking for unfamiliar vehicles and visitors.”
Because you never know when Christians will pull off a mass bombing campaign targeting mosques. Like the one that never happened.
Also, according to the Post, Muslim feelings were hurt.
“Leaders of one mosque in Negombo said they offered joint funeral rites for Fatima Alsa, a teenage Muslim girl from a partly Christian family who died in the bombing at St. Sebastian’s Catholic Church and was later buried under a palm tree in the local Islamic cemetery.
Later, though, mosque officials said they were politely rebuffed when they made further overtures to local Christians and were urged by church officials to stay at home and avoid any problems.
“We wanted to do more, but we were asked not to,” said one mosque member, Mohammad Sufaree, who also expressed indignation that a second meeting with local church officials had been abruptly broken off. “This is why the Muslim community is hesitant to come out beyond its boundaries. We always take risks, but we feel left out in the middle of the jungle.”
So they attempted to appropriate one of the bombing victims (it’s highly unlikely that Fatima was Muslim if she was in a Catholic church on Easter Sunday) and then made it all about their feelings and their sensitive souls. And then blamed the Christians for not appreciating their outreach enough. And the media is cheerfully advancing their agenda because the story suits its narrative.

Christian gangs … Shouldn’t that be gangs of “Easter worshippers and travelers”?
I searched with one of those new fangled search engines … in actual attacks against moslems, in Sri Lanka …. many articles … but … NOT ONE EXAMPLE!
WHY are people converting to Islam?
With all the moral chaos out there and watering down of RIGHT and WRONG, converts are finding structure, absolutes, consistency and comradery.. Yes, they are being lied to but people are yearning for an anchor to cling to in this post Christian relative age and they are finding it with SMILEY FACE ISLAM.
“Talking about what inspired him and how Islam formed a home in this particular prison, making 5% of the population ‘practicing’ Muslims, one of the inmates named Jesse Hasani Burleson says that when he converted to Islam, he was given a defined set of principles to follow and was told how to react under certain circumstances. This has acted as a primary reason to religious switching and finding Islam behind the bars.

“WHY are people converting to Islam?”
Because children of Satan gonna be satanic…
#NYT is so full of sh:t! These idiot apologists for Islamo-fascism always spew this crap and yet, their predictions fall short each and every time! These liars are nothing more than propagandists and sock puppets of islamic savages they defend.
I see someone’s scared of Muslims, lol
If only they’d offered help BEFORE the violent islamic jihad terrorist attack, by TURNING IN THE FILTHY JIHAD TERRORISTS, but no…..
The muslims of Sri Lanka should experience the fear of going outside their homes?
The backlash they fear is well earned.
Why, it’s almost as if there’s some evil spiritual entity at war against all that’s good in the universe. Like folks who don’t belong to the good side (a tiny minority) are at war against them and their (dare I say it?) Creator God. Hmm…
People who believe in a creator god are some of the most violent pople on Earth. Think Hiroshima, or 9/11.
Apparently the Sri Lankan attacks were revenge for the NZ Mosque shootings.
Religion, what is it good for?
If they fear a backlash so much (despite there never being any) they should do more to stop the original attacks.
Their silence speaks volumes.
Good. They should fear backlash. About time they reap what they have been doing. They really deserve it.
There is an easy fix to all of this.
End jihad.
Return to Saudi Arabia and stay there. Every nonMuslim migrates out of Muslim nations for their own safety.
Only nonMuslims are at risk. Period.
No jihad, no backlash, no retaliation. Simple as that.
Immediate elimination of the infection and its carriers in America and Europe.
Shouldn’t it be the other WAY AROUND you fatherless MORONS??
Christians now FEAR Mouslem ATTACKS celebrating Easter??? OR Christians fear Retaliation for celebrating Easter attacks.
Fatima was obviously named in honor of Our Lady of Fatima, a Catholic devotion of Mary who appeared in Fatima,Portugal. Clearly, a Christian name, alkthoghone shared with one of the pedophiles victims or wives.
Never forget what the Washington Post so thoughtfully wrote the day after these horrific attacks. They have crossed a line here.

I was just reading the history of the country Georgia as I watch bald and bankrupt on youtube’s travels. I could not believe what I found, in around 1227 ad or something Muslim hordes funded or in cohorts with the Mongolian Genghis (oh but he was not Muslim right) KHAN, invaded Georgia, burned down 700+ towns to the ground, forced the entire population to bow to the demon god allah and renounce Christianity or die, believe it or not but 100,000 people were beheaded by these Muslim invaders in under 1 year in the invasion, 100,000 people. And fools don’t seem to understand the need for the crusades, these are the kinds of examples of why. The only reason this stuff happens is because of the disgusting NT doctrine of turn the other cheek pacifism, without it Christians would have some @#@$ guts and would have wiped these genocidal pagans off the face of the earth 1000 years ago.
