British reality star: Don’t pray for Christians killed in Sri Lanka

A British reality TV star sparked outrage by urging people not to send “prayers” to victims of the Sri Lanka terror attacks — instead attacking Christian missionaries in the devastated nation as “cult leaders.”

Andy West, who found fame in 2016 on the UK’s “Big Brother,” sent the controversial tweet about the suicide bombings that killed at least 321 and injured 500.

“There is no excuse for terror attacks against innocent people but as a journalist I saw Western Christian missionaries unscrupulpusly [sic] converting Buddhist orphans for food and shelter after the Asian tsunami. Don’t send your prayers,” he wrote.

He was met with a furious backlash, with one Twitter user calling on West to “have some decency.”

“Delete this and never even think to say anything this callous ever again,” another told him.

However, the 34-year-old star, who is now a TV and radio broadcaster, defended his position in further messages, at one point attacking ‘”Christian cult leaders in Sri Lanka.”

“So prayers aren’t needed. In fact prayers are proven beyond doubt to have no effect. What might help, however, is ending the Western campaign to convert people of other religions in exchange for charity,” he wrote.

He seemed to enjoy his newfound infamy.

“I’m pleased to have so many angry right wing American Christian zealots commenting here but the least they could do is gimme a follow and a retweet,” he wrote.
