This week marks the fourth anniversary of the Easter bombings in Sri Lanka, when militants inspired by the Islamic State group targeted Catholic churches and hotels in a series of attacks. 269 people were killed and more than 500 were injured. This year, alongside the grief and mourning at commemoration events, there is anger among survivors, human rights groups and the Catholic Church. They accuse the government of not doing enough to investigate the attacks and hold those responsible to account. They're a cornerstone of life at Oxford University, the three academic terms: Michaelmas, Hilary and Trinity. At Cambridge, it's Michaelmas, Lent and Easter. Other universities have also given their terms traditional Christian names.  But Swansea University has just become the latest to rename its terms using secular names instead. They believe the old Christian labels no longer resonate with their students. But it's caused a backlash, with some arguing that there's nothing wrong with recognising Christian roots. We hear the arguments for and against switching to secular names. Part of the history of the holocaust has been rediscovered in the Lake District, where a group of Jewish children stayed to recuperate after being freed from Nazi concentration camps in 1945. Archaeologists from Staffordshire University have found everyday items, such as a tube of toothpaste, from the time when the young people known as the ‘Windermere Children' stayed in the area. One of the survivors shares his extraordinary story with us. After being rescued from the Nazis, he described his new home in England as “paradise”.

Think the whole world is erupting? We’ve just had a plague of terror attacks and counter-attacks. Notre Dame, Sri Lanka, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, California car ramming, Texas arson and more. Some perpetrators are blaming their attack on retaliation for previous attacks - so where will it end? This episode looks at the recent rash of attacks, starting with Notre Dame at the beginning of Holy Week, which may yet turn out to be terrorism, since the investigators have just now been able to enter the cathedral to start trying to decipher the cause. The authorities rushed to deny it was terror, even before they began the arson investigation, but recent findings… such as some workers smoking cigarettes… warn us not to jump to conclusions. Next came the Sri Lanka Easter suicide bombings of churches and luxury hotels, with hundreds killed and injured. We look at some fascinating aspects of this tragedy - how the bombers were wealthy and well-educated, how the attack could have been prevented if the warnings they got had been heeded, and what the connection was to ISIS. Next we examine the Sunnyvale, California ramming attack perpetrated by an army veteran, Isaiah Peoples. His devotion to the Christian church, mixed with mental illness, inspired him to retaliate for attacks against Christians by mowing down pedestrians who he thought were Muslim. Finally, we look at another anti-Muslim attack by a man who tried to set the Austin Muslim Community Center on fire.

ISIS has claimed responsibility in the Sri Lanka Easter attack. Is this what we can come to expect from a post-Syria ISIS? We head around the world and get foreign media analysis of the attacks which left 253 people dead. Then we check in with Mar, our Spanish voice, on the progress of the Spain general election. This time almost all of their congressional seats are up for grabs. Will the far-right party pick up the necessary seats for a win? Finally, in Egypt, a referendum passes which gives President Sisi far more power and the ability to stay in office longer. We speak to our Egyptian voice and find out what these new powers mean for the future of elections in Egypt.

From the Sri Lanka Easter attacks, to the rise of militant Islam, to the rise of the number of people who claim no religious identity... Dr. Michael Youssef has something to say about it all, and politics too. The Egyptian born, Christian pastor and theologian, also has a PhD in social anthropology, which means he understands who people are from a scientific and spiritual point of view. He is the founder of Church of the Apostles in Atlanta, Georgia and Leading the Way International Ministry. He pulls no punches when talking about what he believes is the Big Lie in today's world of entertainment, politics and even in Christian Churches. Among the questions he takes in this podcast, "What is sin?" "Is hell a place or a state of Mind?" and "Why would a good God send someone to hell just for not believing in Jesus?" These are hard topics to discuss in today's 'Can't we all get along' environment. But Dr. Youssef always delivers with a smile.
