A theory floating around about why the Islamic State murdered hundreds of innocent Sri Lankan Christians on Easter day is that it was retaliation for the mosque shooting that took place in New Zealand earlier this year in March.
Of course, not everyone is buying into this narrative, like Catholic comedian Jeremy McLellan for example.
Cool to see the media doing ISIS’ propaganda for them by uncritically repeating their claim that the Sri Lanka Easter bombings were retaliation for the New Zealand massacre even though there’s no way this wasn’t planned for months.

If Christians would just stop picking on ISIS, right? Mean ol’ Christians always doing mean stuff to terrorists and provoking them.
Imagine thinking ISIS was provoked.

Because you know, ISIS wouldn’t want to massacre a bunch of innocent people (especially Christians) unless the victims somehow started it.
ISIS likes killing Christians. Kinda their thing. It’s a nihilistic death cult. The reasons come later.

In other words, it’s sorta what they do.
“ISIS was going to take some time off to travel, and they really didn’t want to blow up any Christians, but then they were provoked into doing a terrorism.”

Something like that.
Ok but you have to admit that until now the media reporting on those attacks was top notch.
For instance I’ve learned that I’m a fascist because I cared about those attacks.— Jean Deny (@JeanDeny313) April 23, 2019
RIGHT?! Did you guys know that if you’re angry or upset that terrorists killed a bunch of innocent Christians on Easter Sunday that makes you an alt-right fascist and stuff?
Lotta white supremacist 4chan trolls going to mass in Sri Lanka

Gotta love the media.
Oh, wait.
