Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe yesterday warned that certain print media were in an attempt to revive communal disharmony in the country and said he would gather the masses and run an ‘Occupy’ strategy against such media institutions if they fail to stop publishing content that seeks to revive racial hatred.
“Several print media institutions including many Sinhala newspapers are attempting to revive communal disharmony and spread racism in the minds of the public. These were henchmen of Mahinda Rajapaksa who became media institution heads while also holding positions of the Rajapaksa regime,” he said speaking at an event yesterday.
He added that there is no need to conceal names and said they should be declared publicly.
“Look at Anura Solomons, he was a presidential advisor but is also the Editor of Divaina. Look at the Rivira owners, we will launch an inquiry into them. . . Look at Irudina! These papers are owned by Rajapaksa henchmen who made money during the previous regime and then bought over these newspapers.”
He said these Editors helped former President Rajapaksa suppress journalists who bore views against the former government.
“They helped Rajapaksas suppress the media and were trying to create a public opinion about a Western conspiracy out to get MR. They even tried to destroy me for ten years and oust me from politics. . . Their latest attempt is to campaign for Mahinda’s Prime Ministerial candidature. I wish to tell them, you can promote MR and work for me but please dont revive racism,” he added.
He also said that some of the print media institution owners also own stakes in the stock market and said if they continue to publish content that incites racial hatred, steps will be taken to remove them from the stock market.
“Such individuals should not be in media or in business,” the PM said.
He went on to state that they are ready to answer such media personnel if they turn a deaf ear to his call to halt publications that seek to revive or create communal disharmony.
Mr. Wickramasinghe also asked them to respect media freedom,apologize from the journalists and said these individuals did not engage in journalism but were the ‘lavatory cleaners of the Rajapaksas’.
Speaking further he said that he will summon the heads of all media institutions, media rights activists and human rights activists and hold a discussion and warn them against attempts to revive communal disharmony.

In fact all Sinhala Buddhists anr racist bootlickers.. In fact this has been the curse for the past 2,000+ years. It got worse when our beloved English masters left us in 1948 and this has been THE problem of Ceylon ever since.
That is why we have plans to get rid of these buttlickers and make this a Glorious Islamic / Christian / Hindu kingdom, starting from the East, West and North of the country (just look at the voter distribution map of the recent Presidential elections) with the help of American and British intelligence services and Think tanks and Vatican, Soudi and LTTE money.

Even after the end of the war, the previous regime and their henchmen were living and surviving on tribal racism, religious fanaticism and promoting hate speech. They not only made use of the media to promote communalism but also created organisations like BBS and fully implemented their agenda, which resulted in a large number of people starting to believe them and supporting them. Honest and moderate politicians like Ranil Wickramasinghe become the worst victims.
Today, we have the most honest and moderate politicians (Maithree and Ranil) leading the country. But still the people supporting Mahinda Rajapakse wants to promote Racist Tribalism, Religious Fanaticism and bring Mahinda Rajapakse forward. The Nugegoda rally was full of hate speech and arousing the masses with communalism using a lot of false and misleading information.
The Maithree – Ranil government should put a full stop to this nonsense by bring in new legislation to prosecute those who try to disrupt the peace and harmony in the country by inciting the masses on racial/religious communalism and hate speech.

Sinhalese / February 25, 2015
I agree with you. It’s so sad that the previous “government” has been fanning the flames of racism. And for what? Just so they could get rich quick and stay in power. They don’t love our country. If they did they would never have been so shortsighted as to promote racism instead of reconciliation, after a civil war that started because of racism. It’s like they’ve invested so much in trying to make us hate each other and they’re still trying their best to do that. They’re responsible for the hatred they’ve caused in people who have believed their misinformation.
Ruling by encouraging racism is not a sustainable form of government. What they were doing was creating an environment for the next civil war to break out. The country can never advance under leadership like that. They talk so much about ending the war against the LTTE, but what about the conditions they were deliberately creating for the next war? They don’t have the capacity to be anything more than part of a destructive chapter in our nation’s history.

“Voice from people like you (Sinhala Buddhist) are very rare in Sri Lanka – Most Buddhist people in Sri Lanka are buttlickers of MR and dirty racist.”
It was non Sinhala Buddhist people lick butt of MR. But they didn’t get any f*ck so they move to other side. JHU like Sinhalese Buddhist parties have never pelted stones at magistrate courts.
It’s non Sinhalese Buddhists who are always racist. They never think about country when they vote and always consider about race. That is real racism.
If you compare election result in Sinhalese Buddhist majority seats you can understand Both MR and MS are so close. One of them have won with little difference. So Sinhalese Buddhists like MR and MS equally. There are reasons to do so if you think about country first. MS for democracy , MR for Good relationship with China which is more valuable than India since what TNA like parties doing.
if you are Muslim or Christian you should not tell Sinhalese Buddhists are racists. Bible can justify what KKK do, Quran can justify what ISIS do. But Tripitaka cannot justify attacks on minorities. But we can criticize Bible , Quran that is true democracy. Seriously I like when Sri Lanka establishing true democracy like in western countries which let people to say arguments against religions. But in Sri Lanka when something is done similar to that all Politicians and Other people who can gain advantage on that say “racism, racism”.
Hindus have segregated their own Hindus with caste. Many Sinhalese now don’t care about caste.
What do you think Shouldn’t we criticize all filthy teaching of the religions or live in the myth that all religions are good without going further beyond that ?
I wish one day Sri Lankan national televisions debates between various religion groups. Those are important for a democratic country to go beyond the myths. Even British let “Panadura debate” to happen.
Now please go and live with your myths.

Natha,
“It’s non Sinhalese Buddhists who are always racist. They never think about country when they vote and always consider about race. That is real racism.”
Sorry are you just a kid or playing ignorance? The Sinhala voted en-mass for The Sinhala Only policy thus moving both of the mainstream parties towards pandering to the Sinhala Buddhist whim and fancy. How do you think that the 1948 secular constitution got bastardised to suit the Sinhala Buddhists? What happened to the democratic agreements that Tamils with the Sinhala leaders such as Bunda/Chelva Pact and Dudley/Chelva Pact? There are signs that the Sinhala people are beginning to understand the real issues and I hope the Tamils should not hinder in this progress but aid them.
/
Natha / February 24, 2015
You still living in the 1948 – 1980. Who Brought the Sinhala Only policy ?, I don’t know that ‘s why I m asking. Did you vote for MS last election ?.
There is nothing called Sinhala Only policy in Sri Lanka now. But minorities still want it because that is the source of vote for minority politicians. Innocent minorities suffering on that.
Sinhala Buddhism is the identity of Sri Lanka. It’s same as hindu identity for India.
This was a country due to Sinhala Buddhism and This is a country due to Sinhala Buddhism, This will be a country due to Sinhala Buddhism.
“How do you think that the 1948 secular constitution got bastardised to suit the Sinhala Buddhists?”
How do you think to have secular constitution in 1948. When British left their colonies after world war They partition South Asia base on the religions.
India – Hindu
Pakistan – Muslim (Later Pakistan was divided into two and created Bangladesh)
Sri Lanka – Buddhist (Also when British arrived all Sinhalese kingdoms have created their own political entities and British gives priority to Buddhism in Sri Lanka according to agreement)
Nepal, Bhutan are not British colonies they are protectorate.
So can you understand at least now that Sinhalese Buddhism is the identity of Sri Lanka and even British recognize it.
Other thing is even though this is Sinhalese Buddhist country present day you have never been segregated as in other countries.
Did we do something like this(https://www.colombotelegraph.com/index.php/video-indian-teachers-force-muslim-lower-caste-students-to-clean-toilets/) to your community because of your non sinhala buddhist origin
You have the free education, health and all other facilities that I have.
I would like to recognize Tamils Hindus also has contribution to Sri Lankan identity. But Compared Sinhalese Buddhism it’s so negligible. The founder of Jaffna kingdom, Kalinga Magha have Kalinga Origin so he might not a Dravidian. Importantly he is not a Jaffna tamil. And those days we were not fighting based on ethnics. They were fights between different countries. Example Pandya + Sinhalese against Chola.
While enjoying all these benefits who offered by 69% of Sinhalese Buddhists(MS+MR supporters+others) isn’t it so shameful to vote considering only race ?
Please don’t tell that Sinhalese attack minorities because every time Sinhalese attack minorities they start the same thing.
I can remember a incident that I have read a Sinhalese female teacher was mutilated by Tamils in Panadura. Also last year in Aluthgama Sinhalese were also attacked. So both are wrong.
Next time if you comment please comment what ll ordinary Tamil get by having police powers to provincial councils. What is the contribution for Sri Lankan economy by North and East during past 30 years. I don’t think there are any specialty in North and East. It’s same as others.
If a country need real democracy people of that country should have freedom to argue and criticize against religion and other practices that is against humanity. That is freedom of speech. Listen what Richard Dawkins said can we do same thing in Sri Lanka ?. If a Sinhalese does that all the people who want to gain benefit of that ll shout “racism, racism”.
Seriously Hinduism doesn’t have racism because they segregating there own people based on the caste :D.
But in Islam and Christianity you can be a divine racist who behave according to religious teaching. Because they can segregate infidels in dogmatic way.
I’ m sorry but this is the truth and thanks for reading.
(I like to give you some advice, though you ll get police power and other nonsense for provincial councils don’t try to join India. if you join Eelam tamil politicians have to contest with nadu(chola+chera) tamil politicians. You ll never win and you wont have some wonderful thing to show your supporters like mythical segregation but definitely nadu tamils win and as years dawn your Eelam identity will gradually disappear.)

“Sri Lanka – Buddhist” –>
How do you see having 5~6 Hindu God Kowilas in every old Raja Maha Vihara? How that happened in Buddhist Sri Lanka
In 1915, Lanka Muslims protested against Sinhalese-Hindu God festival in Gampala. Sinhalese Hindu/Buddhists got furious and attacked Lanka Muslims, start of tribal fights in SL.. Were they Sinhalese-Budhhist or Sinhalese Hindu/Buddhists? Last 50 years, Gov text books, and “SOMA” Hamudurowo like people started removing Hindu heritages and created new Sinhalese Buddhist supremacy..
/
Natha / February 24, 2015
Having hindu temples inside Buddhist temples in Sri Lanka clearly shows how tolerant Sinhalese Buddhists are. Some of Sinhalese worship those gods when Buddhism based culture was born. Due to tolerant nature of Buddhism hindu gods are still in our culture. Please understand Buddhism and Buddhism in Sinhalese Culture. Buddhism does not dominate like other religions. So Sinhalese still worshiping Hindu gods and Sri Lankan native god like “Sumana Saman deviyo”.
//“SOMA” Hamudurowo like people started removing Hindu heritages //and created new Sinhalese Buddhist supremacy..
Soma Thero didn’t try to remove Hindu heritages, Soma Thero just try to remove kovils which are inside temples. Don’t you think it’s ok ?. Why is it needed to have them inside temples when there are many outside modern days ?.
Are Buddhist temples inside koviles, Mosques and Churches ?

There is a simple answer to the question! The Hindu shrines came into existence from Kings who had wives from India. The wives wish to continue their beliefs in their Gods and to please them the king created the Hindu shrines
/
Burning Issue / February 25, 2015
What you have said is somewhat plausible. How about people of Sri Lanka were mainly Hindus prior to arrival of Buddhism? Naturally, Hinduism is much older than Buddhism and it is completely plausible that people of Sri Lanka could have been Hindus and this is why worshiping gods and performing rituals still prevalent among the Sinhala!
/
Natha / February 26, 2015
As I said before Sinhalese not only worship Hindu gods they are also still worshiping Sri Lankan gods. So before Buddhism get national identity I mean before developing Buddhism base culture there were many religions in Sri Lanka.
Other thing is just worshiping Hindu god you are not a hindu. What Hinduism has done is making all those gods into one religion. That’s why trimurti is one of the core part of Hinduism. There are no evidence that Sri Lankans believe trimurti before Buddhism. So I think it’s more secular. But then we create some wonderful thing inspired by Buddhism. at the time of 2014 Sri Lanka has largest blood donation in South Asia even though it is a so small compared to all other countries in South Asia.
http://www.who.int/features/2014/world-blood-donor-day/en/
Donation is one of the core part of Buddhism.
To be more relevant to topic, why present day governments of Sri Lanka violate freedom of speech and Sri Lankans must have right to know the truth.
Best thing is host a debate on national televisions to understand what religion is more suitable to Sri Lanka and what is truly peaceful religion.Those things happen in developed countries. As we always follow them I don’t see following that is as bad.

Yes Natha, it was not some Sinhala Buddhists, but some Tamil Hindus who burnt Jaffna library, schools, etc, and Sinhala Buddhist rulers and their police are still searching for the culprits to severely punish them.
Moreover, only Sinhala Buddhists in this country pay taxes, and all other minorities do not pay any tax and enjoy free education, free health, etc, like parasites.
Furthermore, there is no caste system at all among Sinhala Buddhists, and anyone can become Chief Prelates of any chapter and the matrimonial advertisements we see with Govigama, Karawa, etc are all posted by NON Sinhala Buddhists.

Yeah that should be given. It’s the national identity of Sri Lanka. All the good things we have done inspired by Buddhism. But in Sri Lanka minorities have all that are offered by Government as well as Sinhalese. For importantly today chief justice of Sri Lanka is a tamil. You better think how good Sinhalese are. Next thing It’s better to be a Buddhist than others.
Let’s comet to topic I said there should be freedom in Sri Lanka to express views in every religion.
So I say Buddhism is the only true peaceful religion. On that topic is it ok to conducting national debate similar to “Panadura debate”.
If your religions are truly good why cant they depend themselves ? why it need protection of law?.
Segregation is in the core of all religions in Sri Lanka except Buddhism. Now you ll find small part like in your comment to show that there is segregation in Buddhism too. But it’s always too low compared to other religions. We tend to select good thing for mankind. For example MS over MR for better democracy.so why not Buddhism as the religion in that way.
Hinduism, Buddhism , Islam is worst compared to Buddhism. Go and search some small part in the most peaceful religion, Buddhism that can be inter-pretended as segregation. Then I ll comment here more worst verses on all other 3 religions.
Buddhism is the only peaceful religion. And it’s only religion in Sri Lanka that teach how to tolerate.

“And it’s only religion in Sri Lanka that teach how to tolerate.”
Of course Sinhala/Buddhist tolerance produced many riots, burning of Jaffna library, numerous killings from 5th April 1971 to date, large scale corruption, human rights violations, murders, war crimes, crime against humanity, ………….. Rohana, VP, Premadasa, MR, SWRD Banda, ………………

I m comparing teaching of the religions not individuals actions. If actions are compared I can say Muslims, Hindus and Christians are Rapists, Thugs, Looters, etc. Comparing Buddhists to others in world population.But they are individuals actions.
I m lazy to reply your comment which are based on your mythical world in which your are living. Your comment clearly shows the level of intellectual that people who agree with you and you have. So your hate on Buddhism has no value at all. It’s like a dog bark at a human who walk in front of it for no reason. Other thing is you are so racist you blame whole community even though some Sinhalese hid minority tamils inside their houses during riots. Same thing was done in Aluthgama incident there were many Sinhalese who offer place for Muslims to hid.
Comparing religious teachings, Buddhism is the most peaceful religion which is most suitable for Humans.
I thought at least you ll find some sutra and you ll interpret as it have segregation or something not suitable for society.

I don’t like to talk about politicians and what they have done because There are so powerful (Practically more than gods) and I respect them all. They are all same and difference is very little.
To be honest, I can’t even think about what you said UN, Oxford and other things.
I’ m low caste Sinhalese not like you who fight against Sinhalese for the Tamil rights and fight against low caste Tamils for the high class Tamil rights. Can you tell me why Jaffna tamils consider themselves higher than tamils in other parts of Sri Lanka ?
“Nalli Cut is Sanjay patent right we will do you hindu style because our language is Sanskrit and we read the classified marriage advertisements in Sihala papers about how sihala are casted- durava, horu.”
For me considering those things in marriage is not a problem. So Jaffna tamils having Thesavalamai law is not problem to me. But in Some countries Hindu don’t let there own Hindus to learn because of they are low in caste.
For the marriage every one is choose there race, caste and religion. I don’t think it’s a big problem. It has little impact on the civil society compared to others. Marriage related problems for people of Sri Lanka ll be like below.
Muslims Girls get married only to Muslims boys most of the time.
-Not a Big Problem (Not even Christians)
Quran only permitted Muslim boys to marry girls whose faith is in the people of the book. So in Sri Lanka Christian girls only – Not a problem for me if that girl want it.
But in Sri Lanka Muslim boys and girls marry Sinhalese too – It’s a problem due to bad side of Quran interpretations which are dogmatically true. And No religious freedom in Middle east.
Christian Marry Buddhist – I don’t care will not be a big problem since all the christian super powers have religious freedom like in Sri Lanka
Buddhist + Hindus – Have concern but not a big problem.
Having said that shouldn’t we conducts religious debates in National Television to be watched by most of the Sri Lankans to aware filthy teaching of religions ? If Buddhism is bad all Sri Lankans will know then all you ll be happy. Try to create true democratic Sri Lanka not a segregated Sri Lanka.

He hated Lankans being described as “Sri Lankans’’ saying “it is Lanka that is `Sri’ not the Lankans just like it is Britain that is Great and not the Britons.’’

You still consider caste with high priority for the past, present and future due to your background.
In Sinhalese Buddhist Sri Lanka though I m a low caste I can still get free education. Government Hospitals gives free service. It’s more than enough for me to having my head in present and future.

Natha,
“Sinhala-Buddhist” is not the identity of Srilanka, as much as your ignorant stubborn brain want it to be, it simply cannot be the identity for an island which has had civilization for well before 2600 years. If Sinhalese the migrants from West Bengal can make such claim so can the Hindus, Christians and Muslims. Being superior in population does not make Sinhalese the owners of the country.
/
Natha / February 26, 2015
Well your comment shows how clever you are. Yeah Hindu people were in Sri Lanka as well as Sinhalese. Hindu Tamils and Sinhalese Buddhists must work together to create something that give high priority for Buddhism and a little low priority for Hinduism in a way they can work together. Sinhalese buddhism must be given first priority always due to Sri Lankan based cultural development which was happened based on Buddhist background.
All Christians and Muslims don’t have Sri Lanka based culture.
Land is not a country until it is created to be one. Sri Lanka, Ceylon, and Kotte, Kandy, Seethawaka and all other areas apart from tamil majority areas had, has and will have Buddhism inspired national identities. Since those areas are a huge percentage of the island Sinhalese Buddhism own this country with Traditional Hindu tamils in there areas. But I agree present day nothing called any community belong this country and superior than others.
But Buddhism must be given high priority than other religions due to it’s inspiring to society and major culture.
I was talking about freedom of speech based on religions and right to know about which religions is good. I have never said Sri Lanka only belong to Sinhalese. If your career is showing that Sinhalse say Sinhalese own Sri Lanka and others cant live here you must work hard to earn more.

How about being lavatory cleaners of Medieval Middle East kingdoms? Is it good?
“should realize that he is playing with the sentiments of true mothers and fathers of this land who have made great sacrifices for motherland’s sake.”
The mothers should keep an eye on fathers who rape their own daughters rather than being sentimental about things they don’t rationally understand.
There was no need for any sacrifice if they had wise leaders in the past. By the way your motherland is in Tamil Nadu or Bihar. Go save Tamil Nadu or Bihar, worth saving.

An excellent specimen of the Misguided Sinhalese Moron. Unfortunately too primitive or too dishonest to see past his own self interest.
Please refrain from assuming what the citizens of this country know and do not know. The majority of our citizens are perfectly capable of making up their own minds. That’s why your “leader” LOST on the 8th.
Where is your proof that this government is doing the bidding of US or UK. For TRAITORS like you, any opinion that is contrary to your Nazi Nationalism is doing the bidding of the West???
Do you really think that we don’t know you’re trying to use emotion to stir up communal disharmony? You said: “And this [Edited out] (RW) should realize that he is playing with the sentiments of true mothers and fathers of this land who have made great sacrifices for motherland’s sake”
Centuries of racist TRAITORS like you have been using pathos or the emotional appeal as a rhetoric strategy in their speeches all over the world to provoke people to do the WRONG thing.
You said: “Your days are numbered buddy and you will face the music sooner rather than later.”
This is a threat. You are threatening the Government. This makes perfect sense. Because like an ape, when you cannot win against those who are smarter and intellectually honest, you try to physically harm them.
This government must do what is NECESSARY to protect itself. It’s NOT ENOUGH to have the right instincts, this leadership must also be able to protect itself.
These comments are NOT “blasphemous” Aragim, RACISM is NOT SACRED you TRAITOR. WE ARE HUMAN. Stop talking. Start thinking. TRY to EVOLVE.
/
Aragim / February 26, 2015
Hey, FAKE Sinhalese,
No need to drag this on for any longer. B’cause there is no real substance in your comments. But I tell you one thing; there is no communal harmony to stir up disharmony. There will only be sympathy, patience & deeper understanding of one great community towards morally inferior others. You guys can keep pushing the limits, but at one point they get knocked on the head and come to their senses. So the history repeats itself; time and time again.

Aragim – Misguided Sinhalese Moron
You said: “No need to drag this on for any longer. B’cause there is no real substance in your comments.”
If there isn’t any substance in my comments, please prove it. Do refrain from hiding behind an entirely undefended premise like the one above. Either stop being a coward or stop talking. Take my comments one by one, and prove to me that they are wrong. That is how humans discuss ideas, with logic, empathy, and intelligence.
You said: “There will only be sympathy, patience & deeper understanding of one great community towards morally inferior others”
That comment is Nazi Nationalism at its best. A true Sinhalese, or a true human for that matter; does not feel the need to prove their racial credentials by thinking that they are better than another race. Aragim, by demonstrating the need to lord your presumed racial superiority over another race, you have already failed to reach the standard of the human race.
You not realize that only an individual with an inferior mind feels the need to think that he’s better than another human race. It unfortunately demonstrates your inferiority. I’m very sorry for you. But my pitying you, does not mean we the the Sinhalese of this nation are going to let morons like you destroy this country again.
I saved the best of your daft comments for the last. You called me a “fake” Sinhalese. It is you not I that is the “fake” Sinhalese Aragim. Individuals like you are a primitive aberration of my race, the Sinhalese race. It is TRAITORS like you who have been trying to destroy my race. Because with your faulty reasoning you create conflicts that lead to the destruction of my race.
You are NOT a Sinhalese Aragim. Unfortunately, your thinking fails to even qualify you as a human, you are less than human. As I told you before, try to evolve.

Just to help you along, these are the points I made which you were unable to disprove:
1. The majority of Sri Lankan citizens can make up their own minds.
2.Where is your proof that this Government is doing the bidding of the US and the UK?
3. Your use of pathos or the emotional appeal to to communicate your ideas.
4. Your ideas are racist.
5. Your ideas are representative of Nazi Nationalism or fake nationalism.
6. You threatened the Government.
7. Acts of racism and sacred actions are mutually exclusive. Therefore you cannot justify racism with Buddhism.
8. I added a point. I was born and raised a Buddhist. Individuals like you Aragim, are truly a plague on my gentle philosophy [Buddhism]. Your delusions, your hatred and your greed are all clearly communicated in your faulty reasoning. Words and actions from intentions that are full of delusion, full of hatred and full of greed like your ideas; are evil. According to Buddhism, you’re doing yourself great harm and sowing the seeds for your own destruction. I truly pity you.
Please prove to to me that the points I have made are wrong. Make a human attempt. However, if you cannot prove that my points are wrong; and you feel too afraid to try that’s okay. Go to the temple, read a book that explains Buddhism since you’re clinging to it without understanding it. Think about the history of my country, with it’s decades of race wars; and consider the possibility that it is you and individuals like you, that have been the problem all along.
/
Aragim / February 27, 2015
Dear Mr. Authentic Sinhalese,
Oh! Sinhalese, Sinhalese! It seems like you are deeply moved. You’ve made quite a few points and for me they are one too many. Truly speaking, some of them are beyond this ‘half human’ creature’s shallow perception. So there is no way that I can go one by one. So let me speak out my mind. Frankly, I was standing up for my own rights. How can we speak about equality and equanimity of others when your own are blatantly challenged. Hey, we all are made up of mind and matter, nothing more nothing less. Its well and truly apposite to say that there is nothing like class creed color or race in absolute sense. They are all conventional mental formations, BUT if we are to be that realistic there has to be a level playing field; and not when your fundamentals are so abhorrently demeaned. When we say ‘Sinhala Buddhist its racism, Nazi Nationalism or fake nationalism and when Wigneswaran brings in genocide resolution its equality, national reconciliation and accountability. These are double standards for me buddy. That’s how I interpret them. Maybe that’s how a primitive and a half human bugger interprets them. Hey, I think your wasting your time on garbage produced by a bellow average half human moron. You’r wasting too much time on this bullshit. Haven’t you got some useful work to do rather than making replies to my ignorant and empty comments? And I regret to have your time wasted. I swear I didn’t mean to do that. I’m so sorry Mr. Sinhalese…..
/
Sinhalese / February 28, 2015
Okay so you can’t disprove my points, that’s fine.
Look standing up for your rights is great, there’s nothing wrong with that. In this world you have to stick up for yourself. BUT you’re not being honest about the “playing field” you’re referring to here. The Sinhalese are the majority, so the playing field is NOT level at a fundamental level. We have the numbers, the power and the government is mostly represented by Sinhalese. Now it doesn’t take a genius to realize that the playing field is most definitely skewed to the advantage of the Sinhalese.
Who said Sinhala Buddhism is racism??? I didn’t say it. What I did say is that acts to protect Buddhism and acts of racism are mutually exclusive, so you cannot use one to justify the other. Saying you’re better than the Tamil race which is what you did in your earlier comments; is not cool with Buddhism buddy. It is incorrect thinking and it leads to a lot of evil that is completely against Buddhism. And believing you’re better than an entire race of people is Nazi thinking, there’s no other way to look at it. Because there’s no way you can actually know that, that’s self delusion talking, not fact. Buddhism will be protected by people who choose to understand it and use it to be better people. A race cannot protect Buddhism, only individuals can. Use what you’ve learned in Buddhism in your thinking, and you’ll be protecting Buddhism.
The genocide resolution is an expression of the pain the Tamil people feel for the suffering they have endured. Period. The Sinhalese politicians in the past messed up and the people in the past allowed them to mess up. And it was incorrectly thinking we’re better than the Tamil people that caused all of this suffering to both races. This thinking is clear in the speeches of Anagarika Dharmapala. THAT IS WHY RACISM IS A VERY BAD IDEA.
Now, we need to fix this. And discussing ideas like this is positive. Please don’t judge and hate for no reason. Be FAIR. The Sinhalese majority must do what is necessary to level the playing field for the minorities that live here, so that the country can be stable. Then when the country is stable, it is logical that our lives will improve. IF we don’t level the playing field, the country will never be stable and its development will be crippled. Therefore, positive change is necessary.
/
Aragim / February 28, 2015
Hey Mr. Sinhalese, WOW! This time every thing is pretty clear. Now I know where I stand and where you stand in relation to racism, being a Sinhala Buddhist, genocide resolution, creating a level playing field and all that. In fact, its great to have you on board. Look forward to having you on board in future discussions as well. Thanks Mr. Sinhalese

Burning Issue / February 23, 2015
Thiru,
Dayan Jayatilake can promote and talk about his ideas that may or may not include politics and system of governance. I have no problem with that; I have no reason to dislike a person who advocates a unitary state and or one is against devolution of power. One may be against implementing the 13 A and or to a federal state. People are entitled to their views; this is democracy. However, what should not be permitted and should be challenged by the Government and respectable media is one to promote a state based on Sinhala Buddhist ideology. In another words, promoting or implicitly inferring that the country belongs to Sinhala only; hence, there should not be any room for power sharing etc.
/

Excellent move by Hon. Prime Minister. Those RACIST medias were created by former dictator MAHINDA RAJAPAKSA for hiding his shitty ass. Now Tamil and Muslims sent him home. There is no need of those media now. In addition to racism in the news there were media block out carried out by Dailymirror, Lankadeepa and Swarnawahini etc. Particularly in Aluthgama incident above medias acted in bloody racist way. Whether private or state owned, there should be transparent ethics have to be implemented.

You sound like you have forgotten what you studied in the Law Faculty at the University of Colombo.
There are laws in the statute book and also rules of customary law that can be enforced against persons who sow hate in whatever manner. You are also the Prime Minister of the country who has the means to strengthen these laws, and make new ones if necessary.
Then you can instruct the police and the judiciary to implement the law. You also have the means to act against government authorities who do not implement the law.
There was no need for your declaration. Unless it was only a show. The need was for action only.

Very often CT, censors words, sentences,articles since it does not comply with their media policy! These are only very narrow areas such as filth! Well and good. Why doesn’t CT expand its policy extending to racism and anti religious statements. You do not have to re invent the wheel. A majority of newspapers/magazines printed or web will have these guidelines. While you want everyone to be heard, and their point of view expressed, you cannot allow extreme views that have potential harm to society! It cannot be limited to Sinhala Buddhists like BBS, ven Rathana, Patali, DJ, WW ! Any religion should be included. The proxy LTTE, JIHARDISTS, etc.
MARA and Wimal jathibeda-wansa, DJ and others have found the Achilles heal of the Sinhala Buddhists! Inborn trait of racism. The Tamil and Muslims are no different! The communities are separated and polarised, instead of bringing these communities together they are polarising them further with a resultant further armed conflict!! What for?? For political power, money etc!! Symbolising religion and race are age old strategies to use masses for one man to gain power! Crusades, Moghul invasions, jihadists, LTTE, JR, MARA and others have done it! MARA wants to repeat it using a naive population. Don’t allow it. I don’t agree with Ranil at times. This time he has got it right on this score!

BBS Rep / February 24, 2015
Simply targetting the Rajapaksa mouthpieces to tackle racism in Sri Lanka is not enough.
Racism in Sri Lanka is deep rooted and lurks within the minds of all races.
Rooting out racism is not easy. Racism appeals to simple minds and the best tool to so easily sway the majority. The Rajapaksa clan have gained mastery of this craft.
If Ranil is serious about tackling racism he must enact very stringent laws such as the ‘bias crimes legislation’ in Germany and Australia. Given the scale of racism within our society a special task force must be deployed to bring to book those who violate such laws in word or deed. The costs will be worth it in the long run.
Racism always leads to destruction. Racism led Sri Lanka to a destructive 30 year war where horrendous crimes were committed. It happened in Germany and destroyed Rwanda also. Unfortunately the Rajapaksa clan is reviving its fortunes on the same lines starting from the Nugegoda rally. Perhaps they will come back to power using the racism card leading us once again to ethnic conflict perhaps with worse consequences than before.
A more concerted effort to tackle racism is needed.

On the other hand, countering racism in the media through a campaign would be better.

Whilst the PM’s ire is in the right direction it is preferable if the drastic action he is promising results from the due process of the law.

Only Sinhala Buddhists are racist? Ha,ha,ha !!!!!!! Tamils have been very peace loving and non-racist for 30 years with bombs, guns, landmines, knives & machetes. Killing Sinhala villagers sleeping in their beds at night. What a lovely bunch of non-racists. And now a Tamil ex-Supreme Court judge has started another race-hatred campaign. If Tamils were so badly treated how did he become a judge of the highest court in SL? And the new Chief Justice is Tamil – so what were the pariahs fighting for? Problem was they were too mollycoddled -the more they got the greedier they became.
Don’t forget Ranil, it was your lame duck uncle JRJ was the cause of the Tamil terrorism. He antagonised India and Indira Gandhi started training stupid hapless Tamils in warfare to cause trouble in SL.

“Only Sinhala Buddhists are racist? Ha,ha,ha !!!!!!! Tamils have been very peace loving and non-racist for 30 years with bombs, guns, landmines, knives & machetes.”
Without a shred of doubt Sinhala/Buddhists are racist just like their Tamil brethren. Check both DNA, they share their genetics with their Tamil Nadu brethren.
The Tamils learnt to use bombs, guns, landmines, knives & machetes from their Sinhala JVP brethren in 1971.
“And now a Tamil ex-Supreme Court judge has started another race-hatred campaign.”
What did he say? He demands justice for the victims, their families, …. So do the Sinhala speaking families who lost their innocent kith and kin in 1971 and between 1987 and 1991.
Where does the racism come from? Doesn’t it come from you?
Why don’t the state and its rulers respond to the victims cry for justice, in this case both Sinhala and Tamil speaking families.
Is it too complicated for you?

Is there a thing called blasphemy, if not your religion is involved? When Buddha statues were destroyed those who cried blasphemy kept quiet when religious leaders were drawn naked. Forget religion preach is selective amnesia! If you can’t censor, reward comments without vulgar dirt filth.
