Shortly after the tragic wave of bombings that hit Sri Lanka churches on Easter Sunday resulting in the deaths of over 300 people, numerous American politicians and other public figures took to Twitter to send their regards. Interestingly enough, instead of referring to the victims, their families and other attendees as Christians, they called them “Easter worshippers.” From the former president: Easter worshippers The attacks on tourists and Easter worshippers in Sri Lanka are an attack on humanity.

When did that ever become a thing? Did these folks get some kind of memo telling them to call the victims who were tragically murdered in the horrible Sri Lanka terrorist attacks “Easter worshippers” instead of Christians? In contrast, compare Obama and Clinton”s reactions to the New Zealand mosque attacks; pay close attention to the wording they used: Muslim community Michelle and I send our condolences to the people of New Zealand. We grieve with you and the Muslim community. All of us must stand against hatred in all its forms. – Barack Obama (@BarackObama) March 15, 2019 Muslim community My heart breaks for New Zealand & the global Muslim community. We must continue to fight the perpetuation and normalization of Islamophobia and racism in all its forms. White supremacist terrorists must be condemned by leaders everywhere. Their murderous hatred must be stopped. – Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) March 15, 2019 Side-by-side comparison: If you don”t think there”s a coordinated attack happening on Christianity, then you seriously need to wake up: 11 CHRISTIANS KILLED EVERY DAY FOR THEIR DECISION TO FOLLOW JESUS aggregated an article AP Easter worshippers 462 views 4,312,185 views
