Hear what a poor farmer’s daughter Gomathi Marimuthu of Tiruchi had to say about her father. She blazed through the track for her gold-medal winning performance in the 800m event at the Asian Athletics Championships in Doha on April 23.

@nytimes @nytimesworld - no news outlets in #srilanka have claimed this in fact on the contrary Christians and Muslims are being appreciated for their behavior. I really can’t believe anything you report. Cc: @CBNNews @DavidBrodyCBN @DineshDSouza

[Ranil Wickremesinghe @RW_SRILANKA]

We take collective responsibility and apologise to our fellow citizens for our failure to protect victims of these tragic events. We pledge to rebuild our churches, revive our economy, and take all measures to prevent terrorism, with the support of the international community.

"If you’re not in charge of law and order, how are you Prime Minister?"

@krishgm challenges Sri Lanka Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe after he reveals there was no communication about a terrorist threat between him and security services before deadly blasts hit the country.

“How many of you are willing to die for Christ?” asked the teacher on Easter morning. Every one of the children dutifully raised their hands https://t.co/N0W7GQUaab

At @UCSanDiego they are teaching students a baby in the womb is the same as a cancer killing the body

This is the garbage universities are teaching our students

The plot thickens over the PM's vote-for-martyrs speech. Complainant logs in to EC interface to check status of his complaint; it says 'resolved'.

But EC tells @arvindgunasekar complaint is 'still open'. Blames technical glitch for displaying wrong status!

Ramesh, the Christian father who blocked a suicide bomber from entering a church in #SriLanka at the cost of his own life, is hailed a hero. His grieving window, Chrishantini, clings to her faith: "I love my Jesus, I love my Jesus." https://t.co/sqB6yrWu6y #SriLankaTerrorAttacks

SO SAD: Anusha lost her 2 kids, Sajini & Vimukthi, & husband, Dulip, when a terrorist detonated a bomb inside their church. "I lost my entire family." 3 other relatives also died. "Now, I am all alone, I don't have any hope." PRAY for Anusha & survivors of #SriLankaAttacks

[Charlie Kirk @charliekirk11]

Fact:

@AOC tweeted about the horrific tragedy in New Zealand 14 times

She tweeted about the attack on Christians in Sri Lanka zero times

Why?

🤔

[George Thomas @GTReporting]

“The last alert was sent hours before the suicide bombers attacked the 3 churches & 4 hotels.” Police now say 9 terrorists were involved, including a female suicide bomber. Death toll soars to 359 making it the worst single-day ISIS attack ever. #Srilanka https://t.co/larLBy85LJ

@RKRadhakrishn @AzzamAmeen I haven’t watched all his coverage but watched the coverage of this brutal massacre. Journalists honesty and integrity vary from topic to topic. Would n’t u agree? This I felt was one of those episodes where he deflected the obvious and was not sure if he should convey the news.

[Brit Hume @brithume]

The man who was actually President when the attack occurred is never mentioned in this amazing article. Note the huffing and puffing, though, about a President’s duty to “preserve, protect and defend the constitution.” Did no editor even notice? https://t.co/MFPy4Lm9cg

[George Thomas @GTReporting]

Mass funerals in #SriLanka: "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea." & Ps 34:18 #SriLankaTerrorAttacks #EasterSundayAttacksLK #PrayForSriLanka

[Nikki Haley @NikkiHaley]

The threat on Christians internationally is real. Heart broken that this happened especially on such a sacred day. The terrorists wanted to send a strong message. Our fight on terrorism has to remain strong to let them know that we won’t back down.

[Vice President Mike Pence Archived @VP45]

.@POTUS and I are monitoring the horrific attacks on those celebrating Easter in Sri Lanka. Our hearts & prayers are with the victims & their families. This atrocity is an attack on Christianity & religious freedom everywhere. No one should ever be in fear in a house of worship.

[Arvind @arvindsixtus]

@TheHinduComment @the_hindu Under an ideal atmosphere, yes! But these days institutions are under severe stress, the corridors of power are hunting like wolves 🐺.

Theologian and church historian Jaroslav Pelikan: "If Christ is risen, nothing else matters. If Christ is not risen, nothing else matters."

[Sreenivasan Jain @SreenivasanJain]

Christians have never been part of the matrix of Sri Lanka's sectarian strife. Shock and confusion over who would target them.

[CNN @CNN]

Explosions rocked three churches and two hotels in Sri Lanka on Sunday morning as Christians celebrated Easter, authorities said. https://t.co/WBcNnXUXTG
