When a group of Muslims blow up Churches etc, killing more than 250 people the press refer to them as Islamic extremists, yet when a group of Christians attack Muslim shops and burn a three-wheeler taxi and a motorbike, they are described as a 'Christian mob', surely to be fair to peace loving Christians, these vandles should also be described as extremists?

Good point, AOG.
Or Crusaders? Onward Christian Soldiers blah blah blah
They are all as bad as each other.
Yes
Fair comment. That said, killing 250 is more extreme than burning vehicles.

So I take it that what you are saying is, that all Muslims and all Christians are bad?
Nearly but not quite. Extremists of ALL religions are as bad as one another and equally as good at justification of their actions as one another.

As regards extremists, I totally agree, but that is not the point that I am addressing.
So much easier watching the old Black/White cowboy films wasn't it?
Surely if the christians were following bible teachings they would be turning the other cheek? The group of vandals doing such damage to, probably, peace loving muslims going about their daily business are behaving as a mob....as the few muslims who blew up people are behaving as murderers.
Perhaps they should.
Have a word with the headline-writers of the DM and see if they will change it to something you feel more appropriate.
Are the Christians attacking the Muslims in the name of God or are they just a group of thugs that happen to be Christians
Isn't the religious label just a mask for vandalism in the name of fairy tales?
Are they Catholics at all? Were they all carrying rosary beads.
I think this is retaliation and it will be one of many more in Sri Lanka.
Pathetic.

the much awaited thread
"old man reads newspaper article in Sun and understands it - shock" will have to await another day
Dry your eyes, jno. Islamists are perfectly happy to be labelled terrorists. In fact, one might say it's their raison d'etre.
Perhaps they weren’t all Christians. Perhaps others also object to people killing and creating mayhem in their country.
