[QUOTE="JosephZ, post: 73879330, member: 396496"] I don't cover for terrorists, so don't ever accuse me of doing that. Yes, part of the attack was aimed at churches during Easter services which obviously shows us that Christians in Sri Lanka were deliberately targeted, but the attacks on the hotels had nothing to do with the religious make up of the people staying in them. The hotels would be filled with tourists, business people, and wealthy locals. While these guests would be followers of a variety of religions, most would be Buddhists based on the demographics of the country. The hotels were chosen so the attack would garner high amount of international media coverage since the victims would represent multiple nationalities. Intentionally hurting Sri Lanka's tourism industry would be a secondary reason for targeting hotels. It certainly wouldn't have been because the terrorists suspected there would be a large number of Christians staying at the hotels they targeted. [/QUOTE]
