Just a day after the violent mob attacks on mosques and ordinary Muslim citizens in the North Western Province, a forage has emerged showing a Buddhist monk entering a Muslim-owned shop in Padiyathalawa and chasing out Sinhala customers. The monk has also threatened the shop owner.
“This is what happened in my shop today. There were two customers in my shop looking to buy things and I was showing them what they wanted. Suddenly one monk and another person came into the shop. The other guy looked decent and stood behind the monk,” the victimised shop owner said.
He said:”The monk asked ‘mudalali ko, mudalali ko’ (where is the owner?). My cousin stood behind them.
“The monk saw the two customers in the shop and asked them ‘ogollo monatada aawey? Ai oyala methana inney?’ (Why have your’ll come here?).
“They replied they have come to buy skirts and other things. The monk said ‘You should not buy things in the shops of these people. Go, go home. Don’t you have any shame even after telling so much? Here see, in their Quran it says, Allah created all lives and will give everyone their food & provisions, so then why these people have come to our country and eating from our Sinhala people. Their Allah will give them food, you should not buy anything from their shops. you go home’.
“And he chased away the customers and went behind them to the entrance. It’s recorded in my CCTV camera.
“Then he came back to me and asked who’s shop this is. I said it’s mine. He told me from now onwards I should not be in Padiyathalawa. ‘You are good people, I don’t have any anger on you, but if you stay in this Padiyathalawa running your business here from now onward, there will be big problems. In your Quran it says that, that means you are believing a lie. Why are you believing a false religion?’
“I did not reply to him. I was just silently listening. He tapped on my shoulder and told me to pack all my things, close my business and go to my hometown. Then he said something in filth and left.
“This was not only to my shop. He has gone to many other muslim owned shops in the area. This is the situation in Padiyathalawa now.”

When Mao came to power in China he rounded up all the Monks and put them to work in the paddy fields – gave the buffalos a rest.
–
Look at China’s progress today …….. how 1.4 people have risen out of abject poverty.
–
He was not perfect, but that’s why Mao is a great leader; he broke “traditions” …………. Sirisena, Ranil, Mahinda or any other SL pol will fall at this monk’s feet even without thinking because of his yellow robe (which perhaps was donated from a Muslim shop) ……… that’s unique Lankan pavlovian conditioning
–
Buddha, 2500 years ago, was a far-thinking ultra-modern ………… but except for a very few, Lankan monks today have stultified pre-historic minds/thinking
–
Lankan “Buddhism” has become a set of unexamined prejudices that people rearrange in their minds occasionally and think it’s thinking ……….. no new thinking in there ……… Lankan Buddhist temples are pre-historic learning-centres which numb disciples mind’s from a very young age ……….. like putting a frog in a well and expecting it to know the outside
–
The only solution to this menace is to educate all the monks from a very young age ………. starting with English from grade 1.
–
Send all of them to “International Schools” and give them the very best western-education.
–
Then they will all migrate to other countries for gainful employment and leave Lanka in peace.

My Dear Nimal Fernando,
.
I think need of the hour is to round up local CHIIVARARADIRIYAs and do the same as MAO did. But the question arises, who would have the balls to go for that as a leader for this nation ?
.
1) Ranil Wikramasinghe ? No he is so soft, he is given lot more chances to do it but never had balls to do that
.
2) BP SIRISENA AND Rajaakshes- also the same, hehas not even the BASIC education to see the impact of any silly acts – such as October Crisis and the latest 12th 13th May riots architected by him along with BALLIGE putha Rajapakshes.
.
3) Sajith Premadasa – we dont know much about his HOUSING PROJECTs than any thing else abou tthe candidate. So, lot more about the person should be made aware to the nation
.-
4)Nagananda Kodithuwakku – is a great lawyer with excellent skills to be top lawyears, but DO YOU THINK only that talent will make him a leader to a nation, whose majority are even more corrupted ?
.
-Only way out would a TSUNAMI – divine forces.. and take all these men out of srilanka and leave the space for young ones to choose their own leaders revolutionizing the current highly corrupted culture.

RACISM is the “smoking effect”/opium of politicians in this country. It is entwined as no other cultures. They , most o fthem calling them buddhists, but promoting racism related terror promotion.
:
This has been made indispensible today than anytime in the past, because power greediness of some politicians seem to be not under their control (Rajapakshe clan). Most of them are caught by on going court cases. The only way out them to escape would be through toppling the current govt.
:
The architect of all the racial related violence in the beaten island is NONE OTHER THAN – Mahinda Percy Rajaakshe, So long this abusive man is live, the dire consequences that the nation has to face is becoming “unsurmountable”.
-After 26th Oct 2018, politicial coup, President SIRISENA s nose rope is directly controlled by RAJAAKSHES clan. Uneducated president, did a greater mistake by having betrayed his mandate. He should be MADE accountable for today s appalling levels of country ‘s security situation.

Absolutely true. There are thousands of Sinhalese who are like godly, true human beings and there areBuddhist Monks when you see them the hands of the minorities automatically clasps in veneration. Such wonderful human beings who are living amongst them who have HUMAN HEART. Unlike, the Political leaders and which is almost 95% of the Sinhala politicians are FIRSTLY RACISTS and then they are party members, then crooks, then politicians. When you take the First level leaders who are thick RACISTS. Mahinda and his entire Family consists of RACISTS first, then CROOKS, then politicians. People like Wijedasa Rajapakse, Ranjan Ramanayake, Sarath Fonseka et al are Second level Racists who hide behind some controversial achievements and showing a pragmatic type of character BUT, within a matter of a SECOND changes into the RACIST mode when the time is right for them to gain the Stupid Sinhala Racist public opinion gains. Whether they gain or not gain anything out of it, yet they individually have an evil duty to contribute to the Sinhala Buddhist Racist project as the Zionist program is the PRIME objective to fulfill in their career, if they need to survive a luxurious life sans paying any Taxes. Ranjan Ramanayake types fall into the 3rd category where acting is applied to every level of his career including applying of the RACIST mode when it fits the moment. He spewed hatred (innAshen Vlogs video) by leveling detailed attack on the entirety of the Muslims and their livelihood making them total suspicious and its a CODE he signalled to the Dumb gullible Sinhala viewers to boycott everything Muslim ( with the exception of Muslim Petroleum and the Muslim jobs provided to the Sinhalese in the Arab countries). They need these two very badly. So, these are the ones that should be used against this Racist Anti Islamic system that was found on Anagarika Principles to punish them for their 100 years old crime.

These are in addition to the Lands Dr Ranil has given VW Folks, and Michellin . Plus tens of thousands of acres to the TNA.

The mother of all Land Donations is the 120,00 Acres which Dr Ranil has allocated to the Millenium ,

My guess is, this bhikku went there for some other purpose. The Muslim store must have been just behind a buddhist temple. Bhikku just before starting a meeting may be came to this store and asked people to go there. Bhikku was very friendly with the Store Salesmen. Anyway, some one should investigate, who asked the CCTV video and Who gave it etc., It is not about Religious extremism or anything except Protestants and dollar kaakkaas writing her would have had orgasm. I am pretty sure, UNHCR or People of the Security council may have printed this as this is important for declaring R2P in Sri lanka.
Zaharan HAsahrm, I think blew up because of the severe pressure on him. He was preparing to blow up the whole sri lanka because he had collected weapons and explosives all over the south in the Island. Un Security council was ready to pass the R2P resolution. Troops were almost in Sri lanka. Key people were in Sri lanka, in case some meetings or phone calls were needed. Only thing was Zaharan was sympathatic towards buddhists. but, he went behind their enemies in the Middle east. that was Catholics. I do not think Zaharan had any hatred towards Sri lankan Catholics or even christians.
but, the attacks in Wayamba was needed for the HANDLEr. Because homicicde bomb attack saved SINHALA BUDDHISTS AND BBS. THEY COULD NOT BE CAUGHT IN THE NET.

Mr. Latheef Farook,
If the Muslim community genuinely want to integrate with the wider perspective of Sri Lankan society , they need to start dialogue within their circle and shall stop practising at least publicly of the following:
1) Separate clothes and specifically full body cover using ghost colour of Black, Niqab, Burkha etc.
2) Separate food type such as Halal forcing up on others.
3) Separate Sharia Law.
4) Separate Madrasas.
5) Loudspeakers for call to prayers.
6) Considering all others faiths are infidels and Islam is superior.
7) Stop practising Wahabism, Sufism rather must alienate with Majority Sri Lankan values
8) Stop showing solidarity with Arabian Peninsula.
Muslim society must have dialogue as self-criticism to stop all the above practises which are seriously antagonize the majority for over many years.
As long as you do not give up those practises, your community will continue to antagonize the majority and this problem of looking at your community differently will never stop and problem will remain and most likely scenarion is erupting time and again.
Therefore, do not try to blame others as almost all the problems are created within your society and hope your society will recognize those honestly and become Sri Lankans after all.

I kindly request all.Muslims(Sunni&Shias) to do some read up on the history of Khawarajites .
Today there are two divisions among them one who have reformed and adopted a very low profile and non violent group ,They are the Ibadis mostly live in Oman, the Ibadis take offence to calling them khawarajites ,although they accept the fact they originated from khawarajites.
All present day Violent or extremist Islamic groups are splinter groups of Khawarajites they are niether sunni or Shia , thus the proper term is Khawarjite and not wahabi .
The ISIS is the born again Khawarajites .they refuse to accept any muslim who do not agree with their doctrine Muslims .
encourages violence and assassination… They justify the modern suicide by interpreting the term Ash Shurah ,meaning we have traded this mortal life for the hereafter.
The heinous crime is to hold ransom The non kharawjite Muslims ,Including all sunni ,Shia including Ismaili and the breakaway of the Ismaili who are today’s DAWOODI Borahs (Aka Tayyibis ) Ahmedyas and to assault and cause damage and loss of lives.
As it is they are hunted by the khaawarjites ,under several names taliban, boku haram, shahabab and now a larger umbrella as ISIS.
Please do take time and read more about them.
Ignorance is never a bliss, it leads to crime on humanity .
Sunni and shias need to.understand this and unite against the common enemy who are the cause of modern-day fitna.
/
Fahim Knight / May 17, 2019
No mstter what label you add (Shia or Sunni)after declaring you are a muslim and you brand other Muslims who have said the shahada (Bearing witness in.one God and the Seal of Prophethood , all such groups are khwarajites .
Khawarajites unlike Sunni &Shias (Although they may have their differences ) agree that The Prophet,his trusted companions and his family must be always revered and given preference to lead or religous leaders of scholarship and repute , while The Khawajrites believe anyone can lead .
This is why they handpick a leader at random when one dies.They are been mislead .
And could be abused without their knowledge by those with vested interest .

Ok. if you think so, the problem will persist. Human Rights, UNHRC, Fundamental rights, Amnest international, NGOs destroy the National Security totally in Sri Lanka. No security, nothing else will remain stable.
If you ask separate things as I have mentioned and separate practises in public, then, naturally they do not belong to Sri Lanka because are going away from Sri Lankan values. All those nonsense was not a problem at all about 05 to 07 years ago in practising Islam. When they started looking for Arabian Peninsula and started practising fanatic form of Islam practised over there started all the problems, which are un-sri lankan and un-subcontinent values, traditions, customs.
If they self criticise and drop those practises only develop the better understanding and otherwise the problems will persist and if you ant that way, we are ready.

That’s because they don’t follow Lord Buddha’s Phillosophy.
Buddhism is not a a Religion but following Lord Buddha’ s Phillosophy, follow and practice the 10 Precepts to attain Nibbana or Samsara .
It appears the Srilanka’s Buddhism has turned the corners ,adultered and adapted by the Yellow robed heirachies to satisfy the present day greed by all. The greed starts with the Politicians and of the venerables as well.
This resulting in total chaos and destruction.
The UN secretary recently have praised the belief of Buddhism.
He is not aware of Srilankan Buddhism which had been high jacked by some of the so called followers causing Hate of the Minorities and their Religions lead to death and destruction.
Same with the Political leaders since the Independence. Self serving vultures have taken over nation.
So you may be right there’s no leadership in the clergy community to punish the Theros who are out of step from Lord Buddha’s Phillosophical doctrines.

I think people are over reacting. The monk asked the sinhalese customers to leave the shop and to boycott the shop, that is his right to canvas support for his believes and it is up to the people to listen to him or ignore his request. . He did not use force , as far as I could see. He advised the shop keeper to pack up in his interest as the monk might have feared that the people may start to loot his shop and set fire as they have done in other places. In my opinion the monk acted like a village headman looking after the interest of his villagers.
