Sri Lanka protects mosques, shuts down churches

04/28/2019

"Sri Lanka deployed thousands of security forces on Friday to protect mosques." That's because Sri Lanka is worried about retaliatory attacks. One can understand this, but rather than protect the churches from further jihad attacks, Sri Lankan authorities have "ordered the country's religious leaders to keep all Catholic churches closed and not to hold prayer services" until further notice. Then why not order the same closure for mosques?
