The events of the Sri Lanka massacres have distressed us, even though they did not come as a surprise.
Those innocent, simple people were the victims of a terrorist act and were perfidiously murdered. Before that, the mosque shooter in New Zealand committed a similar crime, and so did Daesh and Al-Nusra Front in Syria, Al-Qaeda in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Egypt, Europe and the US, and other criminals who have become part of today’s terrorist threat to mankind.
I am convinced that the battle is long. The world has been fighting terrorism for three decades, and we cannot see an end to this war, which may last a century. Wars involving terrorism are more dangerous than the wars of tribes and nations, as they are the product of ideologies that are deeply rooted in the history of the ancient world. The weapon of terrorism is derived from holy books and modern technology, which enable it to spread at the cheapest prices. And every time a terrorist group is eliminated, other groups are born. Without an international agreement against terrorism and without pursuing it on an intellectual level, it will last long, leave deep wounds and horror, and remain a threat to the future of humanity.
Although the focus in the confrontation is on pursuing terrorist organizations and their finances, they persist and become stronger thanks to their supporters.
The apologists are no better than the terrorists themselves. They find excuses for murderers and sow doubt in people’s minds, filling them with conspiracy illusions.

Stay aware because these are the defense brigades of terrorist ideologies and have learned the arts of manipulation and justification. In the early days of Al-Qaeda’s crimes, they claimed Al-Qaeda was a “fifth column” group.
They then claimed the crimes were part of a foreign conspiracy. And, when the terrorist organization published videos of the murderers admitting their crimes, which was proof beyond a shadow of a doubt, the apologists moved to the next stage: Describing these crimes as acts of vengeance and a war of defense, citing books from past centuries.
When the horrific massacres in Sri Lanka took place, the Islamist terror apologists’ first reaction was to deny their link to the blasts in order to confuse the public by claiming the massacres were committed by others. They then attempted to justify them, and they will continue to spread their narratives in the light of the failure of intellectuals and cultural institutions.
They said: “We have never heard of this before,” “this never happened in Sri Lanka before,” and “there are no terrorist organizations in Sri Lanka.” Nervana Mahmoud replied to one of them in a tweet: “Dear Bigot Khalid: Never heard of ‘a first?’ Before 9/11 there was no terror attack in America. Before 2015, there was no terror attack in Paris. Before Twitter, we never had the *pleasure* to meet bigot like you!”
Thousands of those involved in promoting terrorism are ideological armies that support extremism. Some of them have real names, while the majority are dummy armies.
The battle on the ground continues, and the four terrorists who failed in their operation and were killed in Zulfi, Saudi Arabia, remind us that the international organization is alive and kicking and that there are those who work to bring them back to life every time they are destroyed.

One hundred years ago they were called anarchists, now they are called terrorists. No doubt in 100 years another name will come up.
For context: please view my site that proves Jesus was/is God’s Son, and it also proves that Mohammed was a prophet, and it also proves that the Jews are God’s chosen, and it shows that Buddha was a prophet, And it shows the Hindu religion is of God, and it shows that the stories of the Indigenous Tribes of the World are of God……..See how Easter Island/ Rapa Nui, discovered Easter Sunday 1722, how it’s eastern-most shore lines up exactly 90 degrees south of the Dine’ ( Navajo) Tribe’s Holy Mountain called ” Mountain At The Center Of The World’, and how Easter Island is known by it’s peoples as ” Navel Of The World “……See how ALL the Dine’ (Navajo) Holy Mountains are aligned with the “Center Mountain” at basic mathematical angles of a 360 degree circle cut into equal pieces…….See how the Tohono O’ Oodham ( Papago) Tribe’s ” Mountain At The Center Of The Universe” is 180 degrees aligned to the southern-most point of the Old Jerusalem wall…….. See how Holy Mount Fuji, Japan Is 180 degrees from the Dine’ Holy Mountain and Sunset Crater Volcano of Arizona….. See how the Holy Mountains of China are mathematically aligned to the Holy Mountain of Korea, Mount Peaktu, see how those are aligned with Mount Fuji…..See how the world’s Holy Mountain are all aligned in a math pattern !….. See how the Holy Miracle Site Of The Virgin Mary in Guadelupe, Mexico is aligned at 180 degrees with Mauna Loa of Hawaii, see the image of The Virgin Mary ,with halo, on that 180 line…..See how the miracle sites of The Virgin Mary are mathematically aligned to God’s Pattern in Earth…….See the Crescent shapes of the Ocean floors, and their alignment, and it’s symbolic meaning….See the Tear shaped geological features in God’s geometric pattern…… See the mathematical arrangement of the stars of the constellations Northern And Southern Cross, The Northern And Southern Crescents ( Corona Borealis and Australis ), see thee right angles and 45 degree alignment of their stars, also seen in Orion….. See how the Constellations are mathematically aligned to eachother !….See how the brightest galaxies we see are at a mathematical position….See how the Cartwheel Galaxy fits perfectly over the Old Jerusalem Wall, and the galaxies’ gold oval shape touches the Dome Of The Rock, see how Jesus’s Sepulcher site aligns with the bright star of that galaxy…….see how the Old and New Testament, and the Spoken word histories of the Zuni and Hopi Tribes, and more, told of these findings !…….. please excuse the poor production of my site, be sure to view all titles ! Thanks !
Thank you, Mr. Tschannen for posting my reply ! Can you see how these signs are unavoidable ? Can you see how they show that everybody on Earth is part right, and part wrong ? Does it not make sense that God’s signs would be something beyond our imaginations and expectations ? Can you see how these alignments tie all of us together ? Do you see how this will end terrorism and war ? Can you see how if we ignore these signs, God is going to destroy this mess of a world we made ? Possibly by letting everybody kill each other in war ? Can you see that peace can not be had without understanding and forgiveness and forgetting past wrongs ? That peace can not be had by demonizing each other ? Can you see how the devil has corrupted everything and everyone in some way ? , countries, religions, politics, journalism, technology…. Only place to find real truth and justice these days is in sports ! and even that is being attacked by the devil. Be sure to view all pages and all titles at website, sorry for the poor production value, a whole lot of findings that had to put out there, quick ! Look for better versions soon, thank you for having an open mind ! God Bless Everybody ! Please notify me of any mistakes you see.
