Sickening what’s happened here. I hope that Sri Lankan authorities can catch the perpetrators immediately. So far, Sri Lanka has made a good choice pulling the plug on social media for the facts to come through.
Also, the Muslim Council of Sri Lanka’s response:
The Muslim council of Sri Lanka issued a statement condemning the attack on the places of worship of “our Christian brothers and sisters on their holy day of Easter, as well as on the hotels in Colombo”. “We mourn the loss of innocent lives due to extremist and violent elements who wish to create divides between religious and ethnic groups to realise their agenda,” the statement said.

If the attackers were homegrown, I have no doubt they came from a Wahhabi/Salafi Mosque funded by Gulfie donors. Sri Lanka sadly still has vast inter-communal, ethnoreligious tensions suitable for the spread of that horrible sect. In that case, shut down the financial streams from the Gulf once and for all.
It probably was a radical Islamist group, but it’s their own acts.
It’s just someone who did something
From my friend who lives there, she said that historically the Muslim population has been very secular. Recent times have changed this with all the gulfie donors, but still, this is the first attack of its kind.
The suspects are believed to be foreigners. As I’ve said before, it isn’t Islam which is the problem. After all we don’t see many Indonesian Muslim immigrants launching car/knife attacks in Europe or Manhattan. The problem is Islam as it’s practiced by Arabs in particular.
I’m sure the suspects will be Pakistani/Afghan in origin.
Pakistanis and Afghans are generally...not Arabs?
Also, while I do see your theory here, it doesn't really apply to those in western countries radicalized remotely (often through the internet). That, of course, is an entirely different beast and can seemingly strike the same people as any other cultish fringe group.
The terror attacks in the west by X+1 immigrants are due to alienation and ongoing, one-sided hostility being everywhere. That is enough to drive a lot of people insane. The general rule is that alienation from society at large, rigidness in thought, and a decreasing returns of gains in the global economy spells a worldwide disaster that just feeds into itself.
Want to stop instability, ensure people are letting themselves live equally in a society that permeates and solves problems effectively.
Well, no offense to them, but, if they're so alienated, then why don't they go back to where they came from?
European countries are nation-states that aren't designed for immigrants who aren't willing to assimilate into the native culture. It's not a melting pot. It's, "if you want to live in France, live as a Frenchman."
