By Suranimala Umagiliya –
We are back to square one. The die is cast and Sri Lankans have once more shown that the inherent latent base tribal instincts are alive. None of the moderate, enlightened and a humane voice is heard, other than within the converted. When Robert Knox said “the Cingalese are a cunning lot who mistake the low-level cunning they possess to be a high level of Intelligence,” he was not wrong by far.
Easter Sunday attacks by terrorists are three weeks away. The principal targets were the Catholics at prayer. The high-end hotels were attacked for maximum attention. The terror group ISIS identify the Catholics with the West and therefore belong at the top of the pile of Infidels. Yet they undoubtedly are terrorists. Quite rightly the Muslims in Sri Lanka from the highest to those Muftis, spread across the world condemned the attacks. The Muftis and the Mullas were categorical that the Quoran was misinterpreted by the terrorists. They went further. No Muslim burial was to be accorded to them. How much more can be said or done to condemn the attackers by their own community and religious leaders?
Take a quick peek at the scorecard of Sri Lanka since Independence. The Sinhalese by virtue of numbers have been the ruling right through. It is, therefore, the Sinhalese who must take the credit or blame for the state of the country. I leave it to you to peg our country vis a vis others for the physical quality of life successive Sinhalese governments have rendered to us. Sinhalese-Buddhist, was coined by politicians with a low level of cunning to dupe the Sangha and the masses to believe that they were a special breed. They forget that in such belief they have nothing much to show for it. Not even the purest form of Buddhism preached by Gautama Buddha, which too has over time politicised into a hybrid version in practice by the Sinhalese.
Let us cut to the chase and discuss the core issue of this article. The hounding, assaulting, vandalising of Muslims who have nothing to do with terrorists, has begun. Please check the video where this Buddhist monk is praising the Catholic Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith. He has not understood the essence of the appeal of Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith. He only takes one sentiment and that too out of context, either because he lacks comprehension and or is foolish, or is cunning enough to use such for his advantage however, misplaced it may be. The monk leading the mob paying tribute to the Cardinal quotes him by saying the Cardinal acknowledged that Sri Lanka is the land of Sinhala Buddhists and the other minorities will do well to understand that. He stuttered but did not go so far to say the minorities will live by that edict but the body language conveyed it.
Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith’s message was to overcome hatred through love. That was the message from the Holy Bible Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith conveyed to his flock. That was a symbolic pronouncement which his flock followed. Did the Maha Nayaka’s follow suit? Nay.
The violence unleashed on innocent Muslim brothers and sisters seems to be the work of politicians. The foolish will believe that they are government politicians. It is those who have fostered and feasted on constantly reminding that the Sinhala-Buddhists need an enemy, who stands to gain.
Sri Lanka will keep repeating the same mistakes. The majority in the villages and other hangers-on around corrupt politicians do not have the capacity of thought and the good men keep silent.
What is the prognosis? The Tamils were chased in 1983. They were accepted in droves by Uk, Australia, Canada, Italy, USA, France and other developed nations. They have done better for themselves than staying behind in Sri Lanka. Their children have gone on to become Doctors, Engineers, Lawyers and Accountants. They have bought Houses, Cars and enjoy high-level medical care. In other words, all the modern conveniences that are but normal in such countries. Why did they not achieve such in Sri Lanka? Sri Lanka does not have a robust economy and extend equal opportunity. Corruption and graft are endemic.
With such attacks on Muslims, it is but natural for developed countries take them in as refugees. They too will have a better life and their next of kin will go on to become Doctors, Lawyers, Accountants and Engineers whilst the Sinhala-Buddhists will be left to run Sri Lanka exactly like they have run it since Independence.
The only appeal to the Sinhala-Buddhists (I am one too) who do not seem to have the capacity nor intelligence to respect humanity and separate the criminal element from the innocent, is to delve deep into another inherent emotion. Just as Robert Knox said if the low level cunning cannot be used they must respond to the other emotion – Jealousy. If you do not attack innocent Muslims they will not be able to go and live in developed nations as refugees. Thenceforth their next of kin will not have equal opportunity to become Doctors, Engineers, Lawyers and Accountants. Try that.
Will we do that or continue to fall into the well which we fell in the night, at daytime?

There is something worse than the venom spewed by this thug and that is the silent acceptance of the listening crowd. Why don’t they challenge him?
I once challenged a laymen spewing similar crap at a meeting. He was defiant. Said I could not possibly understand what he was saying. The crowd (they were all seated) turned and stared at me silently. Either they were cowards or they were on his side. I waited until the end of the meeting. On the way out the speaker smiled and asked me for my name which I gave. And that was that.

I am also a buddhist born to a buddhist family as many us down there have been. But I cant tolerate the kind of PINGUTHARAYAS that make every effort to attack the minorities.
I wish these men be hung by their balls by all mighty god for all the high crimes they have incited, harming muslim livelyhood these days in that part of the country. Actually christians should have taken arms to their hands since their lovely ones were killed and injured by bombs… even if the majority is the buddhists, buddhist priests of this nature have failed to do their job. We salute Rev Malcom Ranjith to have set an example.. that humanity is the only way to permament peace and harmony.

There are bad and rotten elements in all communities _ Buddhist, Hindus, Christian Muslim, SInhalas, Tamils ,but to condemn whole groups is to do what the perpetrators of the violence are doing, and what the masterminds behind the Easter attacks wanted – to destablize Sri lanka and turn it into a US colony and military base.
There are external parties and hidden hands working with local politicians to de-stablizing the country to push their agendas and these groups must be identified and shamed at this time – if Sri Lanka is to be saved for more violence

A woman had sex at a Buduge.She became pregnant.father king inquired and punished the man – a man in safron- Roasted him in oil. The woman was thrown into the sea. She landed somewhere in the south and was received by a man, said to be the king- very ugly in appearence and a Tamil.He married her.
The safron man’s child was born.In the meantine the Sinhala woman – who lacked gratitude – set the son against the “father” and the father’s race -Tamils.
The son killed either by stabbing or throtling the old man -another Tamil king , probably inspired by the wanton woman and is being treated as a hero and that rascal of a monk is a follower of that wanton woman .

Bro Dan,
.
Just because that most of them there down are no buddhists – no real buddhists: they are just adherents of a religion called “BUDDHAGAMA”: Budhagama is considered as their religion, but most of the adhrents are just followers. If their ALLAPU GEDARA, neighbours would eat THANAKOLA, for some reasons, those lankens would follow them.
They just start causing the BO TREES rotten by over watering them, just because they believe, doing so can bring them their wishes be fulfilled.
There is no difference today, between the SIVURU wearing pinguththrayas (I mean majority) and the buddhist laity. Both of the groups do the same, they have been misled by some politicians for their political gains.
:
Those who go to SOMAWATHIYA and become gawky, once getting to see, the RAINBOW COLOURs being reflected on the steeples of dagabas, just beause some monks just evasively name it as ” radiation of Lordbuddha”…… the very same or similar I have seen in higher structures in Europe, then I went on asking how they would name it ” they the christians never named it the way our so called BUDDHAGAMA followers in our home country do”. – INSTEAD, they knew it is the effects of the light… reason is PEOPLE are more knowledgeble in Europe .. I mean the average.. while ours stay EATING punnakku for their 3 meals.

This weekend you are going to see a lot of processions all over the world.
Do we need all these when the tourism was peaking . I hope Srilanka won’t be another Syria.

Everyday, it had become a practice for my wife to listen the so called bana preached by monks, both in ITN and Swarnavahini. During the last three weeks non of these preaches did touch on the current subject. They did not care tell the Buddhist listeners about extending Maithree, Muditha and Karuna on those other Muslims who were not part of the Easter Massacre. Not a word was spoken. What a shame. It will undoubtedly be the poor Sinhalas who will be the ultimate suffer. These shady monks will never realise the gravity of the attack on Muslims. We saw rascal monks like Elle Gunawansa, the pistol whipping rogue who got Chinese money amounting to sevels millions courtesy Rajapaksas. Shame on everyone of them.

This country will progress only when politicians stop listening to the monks.

Don’t look far – this is the Law of KARMA in Action.
They are now reaping what they have been sowing from 1948 to divide and alienate the people and exercise control over them and crush them.
The Sinhala Buddhists understand this concept of KARMA very well. Every one of them must take responsibility. They being in the majority elected government after government who along with the Buddhist Priests spread hatred, animosity, intolerance among the masses.
The so called moderate Sinhala Buddhists stood by and did nothing.
The hardcore Sinhala Buddhists are no different from the hardcore Muslim who is pursuing Wahhabism – or working towards a Caliphate.
It looks like the Hardcore Sinhala Buddhists will eventually get their own country, where they can boast of a 100% pure Nation State of the Buddhists, By the Buddhists, for the Buddhists!!
Then they can chop off all the trees in the Sinharaja to the Vanni and replant with Bo Trees and erect a Buddha statue under every Bo tree.
Next, all of them can wear the saffron robe shave their heads and plan and plot whom to annihilate next.
As no one else – but Buddhists are left in the Island of Theravada Buddhists they created – they will turn against each other. The light skinned monks will attack the dark skinned monks. The tall monks will attack the short monks. The fat monks will attack the lean monks. The Kandyan monks will attack the low country monks. The govigama monks will attack the karawa monks.
When this ends, then no one will be left on the island. Then the final step will be a massive Tsunami will come and submerge the whole place.
God will promise NEVER to make a mistake like this EVER again!!

“The so called moderate Sinhala Buddhists stood by and did nothing.”
Therein lies the problem. Majority understands the status quo but feel they are helpless to change anything. Some run off to greener pastures to hang their head and live like second class citizens, while others turn a blind eye.
Anyone with a two-digit IQ sees through the yellow robes of his ilk. They are created and sustained by the powers that be only to control the misinformed masses with fear and confusion.
In simple terms, a Buddhist by definition, cannot and will not kill a living being, or condone, promote, speak in support of in any way of killing a living being or incite another to kill a living being. The Buddha laid down only five simple rules for the practitioners of his teaching. And what I set down above is the first.
So those war mongers shouting the loudest have nothing to do with what the Buddha taught and will have secured their own undoing. Karma IS a slow grinding wheel.

When people were trying to get back to their normal lives after the initial shock which paralyzed the country for 3 weeks, pronto, there comes riots.
If it is not the government, who is behind it?
When people didn’t go for riots in the immediate aftermath of the Easter Sunday Carnage as anticipated by the slave government, it looks like they themselves have decided to create belated riots along with Muslim politicians.
This has given ample opportunities for Muslim terrorists to hide their weapons and hide themselves too.

The false claim of a 2500 history was proven in 1983 and again in 2019. A people with a civilised history do not behave like how the Sinhalese have done. As with all majority communities, they have a sense of entitlement. This is cleverly exploited by cunning politicians and monks.
70 years of free education has not done much except to produce an even more entitled educated class. They want everything for themselves and are the ones posting in social media, silently hoping the idiots on the street do their dirty work.
Sri Lanka is cursed by the actions of the majority, not the minority.
The terrorist bombs were a creation of an outside influence. This weeks murder and carnage is all on us! Dont try to hide!

That is natural. Communal violence take place in everywhere.In Muslim countries situation verse. India also same. In some countries entire villages or townships set on fire with its inhabitant. Even in Europe & America situation is same. Here no difference. Every Muslims here in Lanka knew about these terror attacks in advance. That was why they kept small fire arms & swords in their houses & Mosques in case of reprisal. Now army personals & police recovered them. Before endorsing violent attacks on Churches Muslims could have anticipated this types of reprisals & security Authorities should have been informed. They did not do that. Believe their Almighty blindly. Now have to pay the price. Natural occurrences. .Religions is not revelations. But creations. Almighty gods can not do anything. we have to mended our way of life by ourselves. almighty concepts is bullshits. .

Prime Minister Ranil Wickremasinghe, the American bootlicker should resign.
This is the second most crucial time within less than a month, he failed to maintain law and order in the country.
Interestingly, both the incidents occurred while the President is away from the country!!!!
President’s calculated absences are becoming Daily Jokes.
Now he will come back from China and tell people that he was busy in seeking Chinese defence assistance and that he was not aware of the riots and that he appointed a UNP Minister as the Acting Defence Minister and that it is UNP’s duty to restore normalcy in the country.
Both the President and the Prime Minister are disgrace to the country.

Cardinal is blowing hot and cold. I say this because on one side he talks about love and peace, on the other he is making political statements. His duty is not to make political statements, at least at this point of time. He can make these statements when calm is returned to the island. At this time making political statements which too are supportive of SLPP and Mahinda Rajapakse doctrine is not correct.
I also do not understand why the IGP has not ordered the police to carry weapons and shoot at sight when there is trouble. Police are facing mobs and they are inside moving mobs raising their hands and are not able to stop the mob. Does the IGP know his job?
Where are the armed forces? Are they in the barracks sleeping?
These acts clearly show that Police and the Armed Forces of SL cannot secure our country on their own, we need an independent force or we need a leader like Sarath Fonseka to be appointed as Minister of Defense / Law and Order immediately.

Cedric / May 15, 2019
Reply to Buddhist,
I think the Police and Security people simply opted to look the other way rather than confront the marauding mobs. This has been the pattern at every racially motivated riot since independence . They deliberately become passive bystanders which sends a message to the rioters that they are free to continue with their attacks.
The question is why aren’t the authorities not taking action against these aiding and abetting police/security personnel ?
It’s not as if the police are not capable , but they are , at Ratthupaswalla they were not afraid to use lethal force . Then whenever there’s university protests again maximum force is used.
when it comes to race riots, In short, our Police/security have a lot to answer for.

You guys who go on bashing Buddhists ever wondered why this anti-Muslim attacks started three weeks after the terrorist attack. Usually, for this sort of things, the reaction is immediate to release the anger. It could be that those who expected a quick violent reaction got disappointed with the tolerance shown by Sinhala Catholics as well as Buddhists and are going for Plan B to create chaos for their ulterior motives.
In 1983, who was behind the carnage? Not ordinary Sinhala Buddhists. It was carried out by thugs who had the backing of the Government. May be the same thing is happening again. Try to figure out the invisible hands behind these incidences.

Sinhala race either came from mating with a Lion as per Mahawamsa or from the sperm of a Indian Prince Vijaya. In both cases Sinhalese race is not a 100% Sri Lankan race its 50% Indian race. Hence Sri Lanka is not a Sinhala country. Its a Sri Lankans’ country. Alternatively it should be 50% Indians’ country.
/
Hard Truth / May 16, 2019
According to Mahawamsa Sinhalese are the children of Vijaya and friends, and Pandya princess and friends. So they are, according to MW, 50% Bengali / Odiya, 50% Tamil, and 100% ‘Indian’.
If you actually fellow the Great Chronicle and the Lesser Chronicle, right down to Parakramabahu’s time, and do some back of the envelope calculations, you can figure that that great King, the greatest ever that the Sinhala race has produced and oh-so-proud of, is actually about 95% Tamil by blood.

The Buddhist Monk in this video is engaged in un-Buddhist practices such as promoting Sinhala-Buddhist chauvinism and hatred towards others. It is tragic to see that the Buddhist religion is dragged down to such a low level by non-other than the members of the Buddhist clergy. These Buddhist monks (hora ganayas or cheevaradharis) are exploiting the respect that the Buddhist society has for the yellow robed Sangha (one of the triple gems mentioned by Buddha) and not only misleading the gullible Buddhists but also betraying Buddhism and insulting the Buddha. The government and other organizations should educate the Buddhist masses in Sri Lanka should differentiate between a genuine Buddhist Bikku and a Cheevaradhari (rogue monk).

The Sinhala people MUST ACT very very carefully NOW. WE CAN NOT ATTACK ALL MUSLIMS . In doing so we FALL victim to the very same ideology of VIOLENCE.
Sinhala Buddhists are MUCH MUCH better than this. Yes ..we rioted against innocent Tamils in July 1983. But , from 1984 to 2009 there was NEVER attacks against Tamil community or Muslims. When LTTE was committing massive crimes against the state and the people…eg. Central Bank Bombing
So similarly , there is VERY LITTLE impact in taking VIOLENCE ON TO the street. Let the authorities that have the responsibility take that task……
Let us give a piece of mind to a frightened community and SHOW WHAT SINHALA-BUDDHIST are capable to the WORLD.
It does NOT matter WHAT OTHERS do to YOU !

Why don’t you blame the government of unp for doing nothing stop it ? Is UNP the party of Sinhala Buddhists ? 1983 violence was totally a political stunt of JR and Sinhala Buddhists are not to be blamed for that. Infact JR had done things more harmful to Sinhala Buddhists than prabakaran was ever managed to do. His open economic policy has completely ruined the traditional Sinhala Buddhist society. And what about the expulsion of Muslims from jaffna ? Couldn’t you figure out who to blame yet ? Dumbass must be living in a tiny little world where Sinhala Buddhists commit all the sins.

The country is run by Sinhala/Buddhists, and almost all state functionaries are Sinhala/Buddhist, entire security forces are made up of Sinhala/Buddhists, all members of Mahasangha and members of their monkhood are of Sinhala/Buddhists, …………….
What are you talking about?

There is a powerful force behind these planned attacks. These criminals are at large and obviously protected by these powerful forces. Muslims and minorities have to seriously think of their safety as the authorities have failed in so many occasions to protect their assets and lives. (No legislation against Hate Speech / Few arrests and bailed out later. The criminals openly call for violence and no action taken. The Security forces are mere spectators. Justice hardly exists)
The dress code fear is a mockery and an excuse to dehumanise Muslims and their way of life. A few criminals who torched the factory were wearing face cover while others did not care as they know they will be protected.
Those who are infuriated or have some suspicion in their heart towards a dress code or seem threatened by it certainly are going against their own values aping a western dress code. Open your hearts a bit more Sri Lankans you are better than this. A dress code should not threaten you.

The monk on the video is a retard. He makes Buddhism looks bad.
Most Buddhist Monks are honourable people.

What about changing the course of this discussion to what the Sinhala Buddhists in particular should be focusing on during this holy week of Wesak together with all the other Sri Lankans? We cannot afford to continue to fill our minds and hearts on violent speech and words that sow disharmony. Let’s try to give ourselves a break and think about teachings that generate some inner peace, love and compassion. Vesak is not a time to think, speak or carry out actions of violence. I am not well versed to speak about this but the three principles/virtues/practices of Maithree, Muditha and Karuna – let’s give them some space in our hearts.

“When Robert Knox said “the Cingalese are a cunning lot who mistake the low-level cunning they possess to be a high level of Intelligence,” he was not wrong by far.”
The Jews (all of them) were expelled from England in 1290 and invited back in 1656. So if the author thinks the “Sinhala-Buddhists” lack intelligence because of friction with minorities, he needs to provide some historical context. How many Tamils were expelled from Sri Lanka during the civil war?

Wimal Weerqawansha says that they want to postpone the PResidential election. that is true. I was wondering who wanted it. Now, I know Al Bagdadi did not want Ranil lose the Govt or the election. That is why they told Maithripala sirisena everyway possible, to talk to Ranil and stay together. but, Ranil’s antiques are against every odds. NGOs, Want to quit. that doe snot happen too. anyway, in brief. American Ships are parked in Trincomalee, Colombo and Hambatnthota (as I understand it). O e of those Ships has 1000 fully loaded soldiers ready to get down and protect Muslims if Sinhala people attacked therm. Robert Blake was invited by Milinda Moragoda (how did he get the consultant Fee and air ticket). and blake was there in the case Army wanted any instructions to Read the book about R2P.. They wanted Anti-Terrorist or Terrorist supporting Legislation approved. Mangala Samraweera said that ” sri lanka IS NOT A MAJORITY BUDDHIST COUNTRY. That is a very strong wclaim by a minister who pretty often talks about reconciliation. I think he wanted Sinhala people to go nuts. Ia pretty sure sinhala people whether it is buddhist or catholic an Tamils too are pretty intelligent and mentally strong people that can not be taken by TRAITORS who should be tried for high treason.
In Wayamba Violence had UNP politicians and their children participation too. I can not write more, because CT doe snot like to hide some comments.
