Rumours abound that President Sirisena’s men have saved the violent racist monk Ven. Galagoda Atte Gnanasara Thero from the clutches of the law. Four police teams were deployed on the orders of the Law and Order Minister Sagala Ratnayaka to search and arrest the fugitive monk. Many believe that a top VIP provided the safe house for the Venerable Thero to hide in when numerous police teams were deployed to bring him to justice. This has severely demoralised the Police and the credibility of the Inspector General of Police is in question.
Did the President know about the VIP conspiracy to save the venerable Thero from imprisonment? The President himself has softened his stand of stern action against hate speech prior to his Australian tour, to a need for discussion and compromise when it comes to religious conflict. It is unfortunate that almost all of President Sirisena’s decisions on hate mongering seem to waver from time to time. Is the President worried about the people power of Venerable Galagoda Atte Gnanasra Thero who contested the last general election and harnessed a mere 27,000 votes island wide when he received 6,217, 162 votes at the January 2015?
But wait! Was the Thero’s arrest ordered for hate speech in the first instance? Was not the wanted for contempt of Court? Many in the legal fraternity too have questioned the independence of the Judiciary when the Court of Appeal accepted a Counsel’s submission that Ven. Gnanasara Thero was indisposed on the 24th of May 2017 even without a medical certificate from a recognised medical professional or hospital. The Contempt of Court case came up before a bench comprising Justices Rohini Walgama (CA President) and S. Thurairaja. The Court directed Counsel Anusha Perusinghe, who appeared for Ven. Gnanasara Thero, to produce him on the next date with a medical certificate. Will a lesser mortal be allowed to go scot-free without even a medical certificate in the Court of Appeal? Just only the day before, Ven Gnanasara Thero was spearheading the hate campaign against Muslims, in the best of health. What is even worse is that there was no warrant issued even when he failed to appear on May 31, 2017. The Counsel submitted that Ven. Gnansara Thero was hospitalized. Was the Court provided evidence of his hospitalization or a valid medical certificate? Unless and until transparency is maintained, the independence of the Judiciary would be questioned and the independent commissions set up by Yahapalanaya would be another farce ?
In another travesty of justice a motion on Cancellation of bail of Dan Priyasad was not considered on 03/06/2017. A lengthy legal submission was made under Sec 14 (1) ii,ii, & iii of Bail Act no 30 of 1997 to cancel the bail granted to Don Prasad at the MC Fort Case B/3720/16 citing three complaints of breach. Surprisingly, Police informed courts that they were unaware of any complaint against Dan Priyasad. Notices were given to the Police with copy of complaint prior to the case. The Hon. Judge directed the Police to investigate into complaints made and whether the suspect has engaged in similar offences and to report to Courts under Sec 14 (1) of Bail Act to take appropriate action. Justice and Rule of Law for Muslims seem to be very so difficult to reach. Will a complaint to the Police Commission on Police irresponsibility help? The much-hyped independent commissions carry serious questions of credibility; will the Police Commission be more credible than the police officers who misled the Court claiming that there were no complaints?
In an unprecedented show of solidarity with the Muslim community, the Ambassadors of the European Union headed by its Chief, Ambassador Tung Lai Marque and like-minded top diplomats and Heads of Missions from Australia, Canada, United Kingdom, Turkey, Japan, USA and South Africa visited the Devatagaha Mosque in Colombo and expressed their strong condemnation and disappointment at the inaction of the Government to prosecute hate mongering and violence by some Buddhist extremists against a minority community, attacking their mosques and setting fire to their businesses. They called for freedom of religion and rule of law to be respected. There have been over 34 acts of violence against the Muslim community and more than double that figure against the Evangelical Christians this year, where law enforcement has not prevailed during this year; No arrests have been made despite ample evidence.
The International Community’s strong condemnation has come as a shock to the Government. Earlier, the US Ambassador, High Commissioner of the UK and the United Nations expressed their disapproval of the Government’s handling of the racist campaign by extremist Buddhist elements.

The European Council approved granting the Generalized System of Preferences Plus (GSP+) tariff concession to Sri Lanka last month allowing our Nation to export its products tax-free to the European market. It was granted as Sri Lanka ratified and implemented measures contained in a number of international conventions on human and labor rights, environment protection and good governance. Like all other GSP+ beneficiaries, Sri Lanka committed to maintain its ratification and effective implementation of the 27 conventions when it applied for the scheme. Will the current wave of Buddhist extremism have any impact on the newfound relief for the Yahapalanaya Government?
Sri Lanka lost the GSP plus concessions during the regime of Mahinda Rajapaksa when it was denied preferential access to the EU market in August 15, 2010. The decision to withdraw the preferential tariff system GSP+ was taken by the Council of Ministers of the European Union in February 2010 due to the failure of the then Government to adhere to international conventions, which affected at least 30% of our total exports that went to the European Union.
If Yahapalanaya is to succeed, and more importantly, if Sri Lanka is to succeed, equality, justice and rule of law has to be established and maintained without fear or favour.

There are no “HATE” crimes in Sri Lanka YET, Sinhalese haven’t touched a Muslim mosque or Muslim shop YET. So called attacks on Muslim places were all false, broken pieces of a roof tile scatted all over the door step, then pictures of it upload on the internet. They were all inside jobs by Muslims to frame hero Gnanasara thero. —————————————————————————————————————————————————— Protecting Sinhala-Buddhist heritage is not a hate crime. So stop blaming others, Muslims are victims of 1slam. ————————————————————————————————————————————————– STOP Muslimizing Sri Lanka. STOP building illegal Muslim settlements on archeological sites and in National Parks. STOP illegal Muslim migration. STOP building Madrasas that produce future Muslim terrorists.

Champa / June 4, 2017
Hilmy<<<< Leave President alone. For two years he tolerated when Tamil and Muslim politicians made racial slur and hate speeches to incite Sinhalese.——- When Yahapalanaya came into power, the President and the PM were totally controlled/intimidated by LTTE diaspora, Tamil/Muslim Politicians, NGOO, US and India. Sinhalese didn't have any say at the time. —– If the NFF Leader Wimal Weerawansa didn't come forward at the right time to give right leadership, Sinhalese will be nowhere today. He turned the table. Not only that even last year when there were all signs for a religious riot, he requested Sinhalese to be calm and composed. People saw the danger coming and they listened to him. Even last week, he made a similar request to Sinhalese not to fall for the trap.——- As you have stated there is no hate-wave against Muslims which is an exaggeration by disappointed parties who were waiting for riots. It won’t happen. Your article is full of lies, misconceptions and unsubstantiated allegations. 1. What credible proof do you have to confirm that Gnanasara Thero is protected by a VIP? Do you enjoy deconstructing gossip and presenting them as facts? 2. What evidence do you have to prove that Gnanasara Thero or any other Buddhist is involved in any attacks on Mosques and Businesses? If you can produce CCTV footage, please be my guest. 3. The law should first be applied to Bathiudeen for deforestation of rainforests and unauthorized human settling to show justice and equality.—— A few days ago the President chaired a meeting with Representatives of All Religions. I like his impartiality.—— He need not to be at the mercy of Tamil/Muslim Politicians anymore.—- We may have different political opinions but as Sinhalese Buddhists, we will definitely back the President if the need arises.
/
Champa / June 4, 2017
It is now obvious that the main purpose of Muslims seeking Diplomatic intervention is to intimidate the Govenrment.<<<< The President need not to act at the whims and fancies of Muslim and Tamil Politicians anymore, who think that they are above the law, for they supported this Government come into power. —— The North and the East are very much a part and parcel of this country. Therefore, the law should be applied to Tamil and Muslim politicians and their followers in the North and East too.——There is strange Muslim activism in the East with various non-Sri Lankan Muslim preachers and forming of cults. The government should take action to investigate into the activities in the East and banish them. Moreover, the Government should pay serious attention to the possibility of resurrection of LTTE and any secret activities of ISIS followers in Sri Lanka. There are all the signs.—– The Police should commence fresh investigations into bulldozing of Buddhist Archaeological Sites in the East and provide adequate protection to Buddhist Temples in the North and the East. All illegal Muslim settlings in the East should be removed and strict law should be enforced to protect Rainforests and its suburbs.——- Every coin has two sides. There must be an ulterior motive behind all these Phantom Attacks on Mosques. Something is fishy. Who knows some Muslims may want to hide what is happening in the East and protect some parties from being investigated into under the blanket of an exaggerated, fabricated hate-wave eidolon against Muslims.

Darling, my tears are rolling down to see you wasting too much of your tears. Don’t be too sensitive. Hilmy, Gnanam, SLMC, TNA, Yahapalanaya, Old Royals….they all are of the same coin but different sides. Muslims will thrive again when the secret solution’s death is confirmed by media and North-East Rapist army re-engage in suppressing the Tamils and restart to desperately roll down the names of the Muslims spies they had in their roster. That time Gnanam will return to 2008-2009 servers’ dress code and will start to serve Vattalappam to Ramadan fasters.
Two months ago Gnanam went and supported Mangalarama of Baticolla, in a procession. (See the Managarama’s stories and videos in CT) Went to Vavuniya and and Kilinochchi to raise Sinha flag. (Officially illegal flag). Two weeks ago walked into Minister Mano Ganesan’s office. What makes to say “nanasara is publicly attacking the muslims What happened to your commonsense? Which racist are you- Sinhala, Tamil,Muslims? Appears to have only one eye.
/
Champa / June 5, 2017
Who made the Lion Flag illegal? Was it the same people who made banned LTTE flag legal in the North and the East? —— We have heard same bogus allegations of LTTE sympathizers against our Army since they rescued Tamils and Muslims in the North and the East from the savage LTTE terrorists. They are strong enough to take any unsubstantiated allegations for their noble service towards the country is overwhelmingly supported and hailed.

John says “……. So called attacks on Muslim places were all false, …… They were all inside jobs by Muslims to frame………..”. During the era of former NP Governor Maj Gen (retd) GA Chandirasiri, employees of “Uthayan” newspaper were regularly pulped, press set on fire and distribution vehicles damaged. Chandirasiri sagaciously explained these as “inside jobs”. John uses the same words. Was he a soldier under GA C.

Dr. Gnana Sankaralingam / June 4, 2017
Dear Hilmy, do you sincerely believe that any government will take action to arrest these Sinhala extremists. Tamils have been subjected to hate and violence since 1956 and not a single Sinhala perpetrator has been convicted or even arrested. It is a political suicide for any government to take action against people like Gnanassara. Have you heard of any Muslim country taking action against Muslim extremists committing crime on non-Muslims. Muslim countries will never openly condemn these acts as they are also stand accused of similar acts. If you see the diplomats who have voiced concern are those from western or non-Muslim countries. If the minorities get together and with the support of fair minded Sinhales, you can control Sinhala extremists. What is happening in Malaysia is a good example where Tamils are with Chinese and with the support of fair minded Malays are keeping Malay Islamic racists under check. In Srilanka Muslims had undercut Tamils in order to get favours and are now reaping the results of that folly. Muslims never supported Tamil demand for police and land powers for provincial councils,and if Tamils had that, the situation in Musali would not have befallen on these hapless Muslim victims. Sinhalese only want Muslim support to put Tamils down and nothing else. Now that Tamils have been sufficiently weakened, it is the turn of Muslims to face Sinhala wrath. If you think that BBS is created and funded by Americans, Zionists and Christian fundamentalists, you are in a fools paradise. They were created by Gotabaya with tacit approval of Mahinda and are funded by rich Sinhalese. They have the support of parliamentarians, security personnel, professionals and businessmen. If only Gnanassara refrains from thuggery and obscene language and carries out his campaign, you will be surprised that he will get wide spread support from Sinhalese.

Dr. Gnana Sankaralingam: “……………Have you heard of any Muslim country taking action against Muslim extremists committing crime on non-Muslims……….?”. Yes. Bangladesh – some independence war collaborators which included clergy. So did Indonesia over Bali bombing.
/
Dr. Gnana Sankaralingam / June 6, 2017
Punishing collaborators for their offences by Bangaladesh is political and not religious. Recently there was killing of Hindus and burning of their properties by Muslim mob led by an MP from the government party and no action was taken. I do not think that you have ever been to Bali, which is a Hindu island and ruled by Hindus. Victims of Bali bombing were Australians, and the their government pressurised Indonesia to take action. Indonesia is afraid of Australia ever since Indonesian troops which invaded Sabah and Sarawak soon after Malaysian independence were chased out by Australian troops. Indonesia knows that if they try to be funny with Australia, they will lose Iriyan Jaya like losing East Timor.

Muslim politicians, Muslim Civil Society groups, MCSL, Shroora Council, ACJU, Muslim Media Forum who supported the “Hansaya” and the “Yahapalana group” for your personal gains and benefits and not the community should take full responsibility of this situation. You all are now answerable (Insha Allah) to God AllMighty Allah and the Muslim voters/community at large for putting us in this plight. YOU WERE PART OF THEM. You cannot run away from this anymore. Islamic religious scholars say: “Betrayal is the worst form of hypocrisy”, “Betrayal is the worst sin,” and “Betrayal is an indication on the lack of piety and religiousness”.

Sideek Dr / June 4, 2017
The Mahinda stooge who betrayed the Muslim community is probably starving without the crumbs throw at him. A man who lives on a canadian dole and sold the community by sleeping with Norway and Gnanasara has no right to speak. The crimes against humanity committed by Mahinda and his goons will not be forgotten by the Muslims. Traitors like this coward will neither be forgiven or accepted by the Muslim community.

Mr. Hilmy Ahamed played a very prominent role, behind the scene in the political playing field to cut down former Prisident Mahinda Rajapaksa, Gotabaya Rajapaksa, Basil Rajapaksa and Namal Rajapaksa among the Muslim voters of Sri Lanka, especially in the Colombo Central, Aluthgama and Beruwela. Hilmy Ahamed was the main contact person for Minister Faizer Musthapa to turn coats against President Mahinda Rajapaksa at the very last moment, around the last week/1st week of January 2015. (https://www.colombotelegraph.com/index.php/the-politics-of-the-mustaphas/)
The duped and hoodwinked Muslim voters who were made to “vote” the “Hansaya” have begun to understand the treachery of these Muslim Civil Society Leaders/HILMY AHAMED, Community Leaders, and ACJU Leaders.They are “disgruntled” and they have begun to show their displeasure and have begun to retaliate against these so-called deceptive Muslim leadership.The Muslim Youth and the young professionals of the community have begun to use “SOCIAL MEDIA” to challenge these scoundrels. “The CRY of “THE MUSLIM VOICE” from the POLITICAL WILDERNESS has begun to be heard by the Muslim Community in Sri Lanka.The ungrateful Muslim politicians who benefited the most from Mahinda Rajapaksa, Basil Rajapaksa and Gotabaya Rajapaksa are now stooging the Yahapalana government. WAS NOT HILMY AHAMED, AN ALLY AND MENTOR OF MINISTER FAIZER MUSTAPHA A STOOGE OF THE MAHINDA REGIME DURING THE 2005 – 2015 REGIME OF THE RAJAPAKSA GOVERNMENT? Muslims in Sri Lanka do NOT have a voice – a POLITICAL VOICE for that purpose. The en-block Muslim votes and Tamil votes made the Yahapalana government to get their majority in parliament in the 2015 general elections. In the next elections, surely the Muslims are contemplating to vote the “Joint Opposition” to power, Insha Allah.

You idiotic infidel stop attacking other faiths. Why are you getting angry when it is known that Islam is a primitive barbaric religion. Learn civility and humanity from other faiths especially Buddhism. Allah is an inanimate object depicted by a stone in Kabba, and Mohamed is a charlatan, both claiming that earth is flat. Allah was roundly and soundly insulted by Gnanassara, and Allah had to listen to it and sulk in a corner with no sense of shame. Accept the reality that it is Buddha who is the supreme being in the universe and Allah is only his servant,.lying at his feet.

One time LTTE was believed invincible. But once all the IC diplomats gathered around Old King, LTTE was wiped out. This gathering of Diplomats is telling that New King and Ranil may face what Don Stephen faced in 1915. (There is no Ramanathan anymore to save those two imbeciles). Those diplomats would soon bring them down like they did to leader Pirapaharan & Old King. Tamils failed convince the IC with a real case. Tamils, mainly the Hindus, are not organized by their religion. In fact it is their strength, too. When Thirunavukkarasar shook the leadership of Jains’, the religious control was lost and entire TN voluntarily wiped off the horrific organized religions. But it doesn’t work like that always. The well-organized Muslim organizations can give real pressure to Western countries through Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar…. Muslims have well organized religion. Buddhism has Maha-sangh Ayatollahs; they are novices in diplomatic politics, but really hungry greediest for power. Muslims leaders have managed the IC diplomats to rally behind them. If Ranil or New King is any longer ignoring the Muslim leaders and writers, their coffins too will be lying next to the Prabhakaran’s and Old King’s. Sampanthar goofed on secret solution in December 2016. Lost the UNHRC in March. Lost the PTA in April and GSP+ in May. Nobody can predict whether this new turn will bring any good to Tamils or many more loses like in the last few months. All the Muslims writers were cursing the West until yesterday as the creators of BBS and funders as they all are Islamophobes. Even two days ago Hakeem gave a speech that these all are techniques to wedge between the government and them. When today the IC diplomats gathered to the Mosque, they quickly changed their loyalty from Yahapalanaya to Western diplomats.

Jaafairsaadik / June 5, 2017
Decency the whole world is owned by its Creator. The only true, God Almighty Who is worshipped by the Muslims. The whole earth and all its inhabitants are prostrating to its Creator, So all Muslims prostrate to their Almighty Allaah, the Only worthy of worshiped and obeyed. The pagans of Sri Lanka who are the devil worshipers will not prosper. God Almighty is Might in Power, and able to sink the whole pagan devil worshipers with one decree. Just what happened a few days ago, is a minor sign so as to realize what is in store. Islam the religion of Peace, will prevail all over the world. The sensible Europeans, Americans Latinos are accepting Islam as their way of life with complete submission to the One and Only Lord of the world. The Quran thus quote:
” And your god is one God. There is no deity [worthy of worship] except Him, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
” Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and earth, and the alternation of the night and the day, and the [great] ships which sail through the sea with that which benefits people, and what Allah has sent down from the heavens of rain, giving life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness and dispersing therein every [kind of] moving creature, and [His] directing of the winds and the clouds controlled between the heaven and the earth are signs for a people who use reason.” Quran Chaper 2: verse 163 -164.
“Say ye: “We believe in Allah, and the revelation given to us, and to Abraham, Isma’il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to (all) prophets from their Lord: We make no difference between one and another of them: And we bow to Allah (in Islam).” . (Quran chapter 2 verse 136
/
Al-faqurlah / June 5, 2017
Whole world is owned by its creator, but the God created a round world. Any other person who created a flat world cannot be the God. Allah by his own admission to Mohamed said that the world he created is flat. So how can Allah be the creator and one worthy to be worshipped and obeyed. Naturally Muslims who prostrate to Allah are getting the works from those who worship and obey the real God. We worship Buddha as the supreme being above Allah who is in fact Abid-ul-Buddha.

We have detailed the signs for a people who know. And it is He who produced you from one soul and [gave you] a place of dwelling and of storage. We have detailed the signs for a people who understand.And it is He who sends down rain from the sky, and We produce thereby the growth of all things. We produce from it greenery from which We produce grains arranged in layers. And from the palm trees – of its emerging fruit are clusters hanging low. And [We produce] gardens of grapevines and olives and pomegranates, similar yet varied. Look at [each of] its fruit when it yields and [at] its ripening. Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe. (Quran chapter 6 verses 97 – 99.

RESPONSE TO Dr. SIDEEK AND HILMY AHAMEDS COMMENTS:
The writings of “The Muslim Voice” and wide political knowledge belongs to God AllMighty Allah and “The Muslim Voice” is on a CRUSADE to expose the fraudulent, hypocritical, unscrupulous and dishonest corrupt Muslim Politicians. “The Muslim Voice” has never been hiding behind opportunism to declare restrain from critizing falsehood and hoodwinking against the Muslim community in Sri Lanka. “The Muslim Voice” do not wish to name persons, but look at how our political leaders, Muslim ministers, community leaders, civil society activists, Ulema and leading Muslim businessmen/traders and sad to say, some of our professionals have been behaving for selfish reasons and BETRAYED the interest of our community at large? They jump parties and change colours like the chameleons (katusso) in order to reap the best portfolios, perks and benefits for their “kith and kin” and “henchaiyas” selling the “Muslim Vote” bank to the government that comes to power and deceiving the poor Muslim voter who is too honest and humble to follow these unscrupulous characters because they believe in God AllMighty Allah and trust their brethren as Muslims and for some reason, due to lack of – especially reading literacy and language understanding being subject to “hoodwinking” by these political vultures. What has the battered Muslim Community achieved since 1956 because of these opportunistic political vultures in our society? THEY DO NOT WANT US TO THINK. THEY DO NOT WANT US TO ASK? THEY DO NOT WANT US TO KNOW A THING. BUT LIVING IN IGNORANCE WILL NOT END OUR SUFFERINGS, ON THE CONTRARY IT ONLY MAKES IT BIGGER. “THE MUSLIM VOICE” THOUGHT THAT THESE GUYS HAVE CHANGED, Insha Allah.

Whatever else he may be, the owner of the Muslim “Noise”, has first hand knowledge of the “fraudulent, hypocritical, unscrupulous and dishonest corrupt Muslim Politicians” because he was one of them under the previous regime..

‘Yahapalanaya’ is part and parcel of the corrupt political culture that is now ruling Sri Lanka. Until that culture is brought to an end neither any Govt. nor Sri Lanka as a whole can succeed. If to end that culture the domination of the UNP and SLFP in politics should be brought to an end and the 2020 General Election is the only opportunity to give the JVP, the only alternative, to govern the country.

The GOSL should launch a full scale investigation into the radicalization of Muslims in the East , and certain other parts of the country . It should also closely monitor massive amounts of funds coming into the country . This new wave of radicalization is a global phenomenon , and we have to take the threat seriously irrespective of some elements wanting to hush things up with their well oiled campaigns of propaganda .

The President’s hands are tied ,so was MR’s , news is around That The PM is seriously ill ( I do not take responsibility – it is a rumor spread in The many Sinhala hate groups of FB,Viber and Wattsups)
Certain out spoken muslin critics fotos ,names ,vehicle numbers are been shared too in this wattsup group and some Muslims are also involved in it.
John ,. Lester(we Know their real names and their location too ,but respecting CT we wont expose them) and lot are fully involved in funding the hate groups on behalf of The fake religious NGOS which have spread in the Island by way of money laundering .
The wattsup latest calls is to rob the Muslims as much as possible ,Petrol sheds are cheating by controlling the pump handle and some mixing kerosene we are told ,lot of racial revenge is on. the Internet providers are all tracking Muslims visiting website ,especially Colombo telegraph and I hear a private trunk is opened by a certain Internet provider so the Muslims can be tracked.
The present government is run with the money of the fake religious NGOS who robbed Iraq and Libya .
The Government will never arrest Gnanasera ,they can never ,because they are under the control of his masters.
We hear Azath sally’s Life is in danger and also without arresting Gnansera they are trying to twist the case and arrest Asath sallyia
The program was one attack in South (which was very successful) and there are four more in line,One is Anuradapura,Polanruwe , Eastern province ,Puttelum , marshikatty , Akurana ,madewela , and maligawatte and grandpass.
There is only one hope , a certain person who can declare marshal law and establish Military rule for a couple of years , and investigate all the NGOS and if found guilty put them on the shooing squad death penalty.
The only way to save the nation,actually The president must handover the Country to the military asap.

Matripala Sirisena is a failed President , he is sacred of the Rajapaksa s, so the whole family of the Rajapaksa s are safe and free to go where ever they want , and Mahinda is informed of all court proceedings that is why when Anura Senanayake is out on bail Mahinda took his son Yoshita and the other killer of 13 innocent kandyan Muslim s to Japan. This is Sri Lanka s justice system under all these crookish politicians.
And where is the rabid dog Gnanasara?
Quietly sent out by his friends Wijedasa Rajapaksa and Gotabaya?

president is supporting the racist pig gnansaraya. gnasaraya is creating a militia to attack the muslims/christians/tamils and all others opposed to him like 1987-1992 jvp. wijedasa is protecting the bitch. muslims be ready 1983 is going to happen again. first they will try to de-humanize muslims by openly speaking bad about Allah thallah and our prophet. if we play dead, they will start attacking. jihad is the only way.

Al-faqurlah / June 5, 2017
You Islamic infidel, stop calling Gnanassara as pig, bitch, bastard etc. If he had committed a crime it is up to the law enforcement agency to deal with. Police has given a warning that anyone inciting hatred in websites will be taken into custody.. So beware, you and other Islamic racists who hurl abuse on Buddhists, will end up soon behind bars. Stop your stupid utterance of Jihad. If you try any of those tricks with Buddhists, you will be taught a proper lesson.

WeddingSam / June 4, 2017
The attacks in London are the work of Gnanasara inciting them. Actually Sirisena’s racists Singalam buddhists are at fault for rapid spread of Jihadi ISIS Wahabi Sunni Saudi radical terrorism. Gnanasara was spotted in London with the “This is for Allah” Terrorist who stabbed an innocent woman 15 times. Gnasara is a CIA Norway plant not a real buddhist. He gets paid by Mossad who want to run experiments on Muslim vs Buddhist conflict to get data and to sell weapons. It is clear the Singalam Buddhist muttals are behind terrorism

Hilmy Ahamed: There is no doubt that in recent years physical attacks targeting Lankan Muslims have increased. This is probably instigated by business interests. You talk exclusively about Lankan Muslims but not injustice in general. How about Rohingyas of Myanmar, Yemen, Uighurs – list will go on and on. You talk of “All The President’s (Racist) Men! A Disgrace To Yahapalanaya”. Obviously intended to portray Lankan Muslims as a race. Are they Hilmy? Following the Aluthgama pogrom the overseas Lankan Muslims kept quiet but Diaspora Tamils raised this injustice with Canadian, UK and EU. You are unashamedly propagating the view held by many “Lankan Muslims are very very very selfish”. By the way, by now you must be able to tell us as to the VIP harboring the fugitive. So stop this rumor mongering.

Jim Softy / June 5, 2017
Muslims writers here are lieing. If you make muslims’ attacks on others, and vice versa, it is a different story. They never talk what they do. they report a different story. Lieing is taught to them as part of the religion.

How can they arrest Gnanassara when he is not in the country. He is abroad on a lecture tour on the invitation of those countries on the subject “How to insult Allah”.

I worry more about the act of terrorism by Muslim terrorists/Arab terrorists in the month of Ramadan. Hilmy you are silent on these attacks.
What are your views as a so called moderate also what are the views of the racist fanatic Lateef Farouk on the FACT that today KSA and 6 other nations SEVERED relations with Qatar; I thought Qataris and Saudis are the ones who spread your shitty shit Wahabi Sunni Salafi intolerant brand of islam. KSA for sure is the source of funding of your backward branch Mosques propping up in SL and India and Maldives.
So why is KSA king and UAE Emir severing relations with Qatar? Is it because Qatar wanted to follow a more sensible middle path to seeing better relations with Persian Shia Iran?
Are you all going into a frenzy over this Sunni Arab vs. Sunni Arab nonsense because you all Tamil speaking Lankan S.Indian Dravidian Muslims(you are curly haired, dark skinned, and with a flatter nose and thick lips) who pretend to be Arab seems to think Islam is about Arabs rather than viewing it is a philosophy that is in Non Arab world as well? I bet Lateef will now blame Jews, Mossad and US no? Qataris are saner than those black Burqa clad backward Muslim women now seen all over Colombo huh?
Wahabis are shitty shit.

Thassim, I can bet you are not a Ceylon Moor but belongs to Australoid group Tamils with a Muslim name or may be belongs to those Australoid group Tamil converts. Your comment on Muslims (Moors) here irrelevant to the article under discussion here. There are few others who always pull Moors ethnicity on whatever they comment. Curly haired, dark skinned, and with a flatter nose and thick lips are Australoid feature which you Tamils and Tamils Muslims have but not majority of Ceylon Moors have. Will a Muslim call their women, “black Burqa clad backward Muslim”? Even Tamil Muslim convert won’t speak like that. You Muslim hater diaspora.

Qatar got lashed because it supported the Iranain terrorist government which is accused of blatant export of terrorism to regional instability. Naturally regional allies did not like Qatar backstabbing the regional allies by taking the Iranian rogue terror government run by mullas in black tyres around their head. The aya-tollas are accused of extra judicial killing of many iranian intellects with impunity. There is a time bomb in Iran which could explode any time by its own people who are victims of the reign of terror by these ata-tollaa mad dogs, who ruined that country for almost 3 decades. The vicious evil of exis hez-balla, iran, syria will wither sooner or later.

What does your Saudi Kings do, Plundering the national wealth ?
When does Saudis wake up to create a democratic government?
You know West is doing it to Saudi from both sides.
One side they sell their weapons, Other side they play all of them together so they kill each other!
Don’t worry half breeding and infighting will make Middle east Muslim free in notime.

Al-faqurlah / June 9, 2017
A case of a kettle calling a pot black. Both Saudi Arabia and Qatar are exporting terror by financing terrorists as well propagating Wahabism in non-Muslim countries. How many mosques have they built in Srilanka. Pakistan is the other terror agent who is supplying man power and hate material both printed and electronic. There are several Pakistani agents who have entered Srilanka on fake passports and are spitting venom in mosques and Madarassas. It is time these people are arrested and eliminated. What happened in Iran will happen in Srilanka to these mullahs with tyre round neck.

Sounds like the Burqa brigade KSA slaves in Siri Lunga are in attack mode. FACTOID: Iran supports Hezbollah but their fight is with Israel. KSA and ISRAEL want USA to do their bidding. Saudi Priests are infecting Indonesia, Sri Lunga, India, Malaysia with their Wahabi Salafist irrational intolerant Muslim crap from Arabistan. We will not let our Hindu and Buddhist history be destroyed by Burqa brigades. They copy Saudi women(but much uglier and smellier) without factual basis in the Quran. This is Wahabism that forces women or brainwashes them to wearing hideous BLACK head to toe.
Qatar wanted to normalize relations with Shia Persians who have had a superior culture and superior history. Persia was an ancient kingdom Your KSA worshippers should know there was NEVER a nation called Saudi Arabia until white CHRISTIAN UK, USA and others CREATED a fake kingdom because of oil and make it rally around Mecca(praise be to Allah).. FACTs are FACTs. Bark baby bark. Lateef nana do you know Saudi Arabia has close relations with Israel in secret? Bark baby bark- Sincerely Thangavelu

If our Muslim brothers do not take action to control the anti Buddhist/Sinhalese activities, We must not resort to violence, We must not attack their property, innocent Muslims, Sinhalese can protest silently by avoiding Muslim shops.
This systematic campaign by Muslim writers and their political masters is to internationalize another non existing issue, Gon Nanasara is not a savior of Buddhists. He is a the agent who is paid to discredit Buddhism, The youth who follow him are mislead!
We must represent Buddhist issues in dialogues and with pen. Chief prelates must tame this this agent and save Buddhism from the real enemies.

All Writers Being Muslims Are AIDING the Muslim Invasion Which Is Going On……………The GOSL making law as To Silent The Sinhalese …………….Why Is Not Any Action Taken Against The Crimes Committed By These Muslim Extremists which Is Still Happening With Muslim Ministers Assistance…….These Writers Are Also Trying to cover up these bloody crimes ……………….Gnanasara Thero Has Been Exposing These Crimes And Presuring The GOSL to Take Action To Preserve Our Heritage Which These Muslim Extremists Have Invaded And Damaged………These Muslim Ministeres Should Be Arrested And Brought Before The Law ……………Then We Could See Who Is Really Behind Creating Racial Violence.

Isharath / June 9, 2017
Wahhabism, an intolerant form of Islam was born in Saudi. Saudi rulers liked it because they provide an alternative narrative about how to obey rulers and not interfere in politics. IS with strict ideology of Wahhabism and Salafism, could back fire Saudi. So they are against IS, and a simple message showing sympathy towards IS could get anyone arrested in Saudi. Saudi doesn’t support IS.
Qatar does support IS, because they fight against Basar Al Assad of Syria. That is because once he is no more, Qatar can sell its gas to Europe through pipelines over Syria at much lower prices than what Russia does now. And that is the reason Russia wants Basar Al Assad in Syria.
It is USA invasion on Iraq and killing Saddam that gave rise to IS. Sympathizer donations on IS is just fractions, compared to what they earned in Iraq with oil smuggling until recently.
