The fact that many of the casualties of the Easter Sunday bombings were Christians obviously drew the attention of the Christian world and especially the Christian media, looking at the incident through different ‘lenses’ than those of the secular media. Here are three misconceptions circulated by Christians in the wake of the attacks, and clarifications about the truth.
Misconception #1 The world didn’t report the Sri Lanka attacks with the same intensity as the mosque attacks in New Zealand.
Misconception #2: Political leaders intentionally neglected to mention “Christians” and only referred to “Easter worshippers.”
Misconception #3: The suicide bombers were “animals” and uneducated people, gullible to radicalization.
