Sihala Ravaya exchanging words with members of the Muslim community in Grandpass last week.

When people have no trustworthy political leadership they turn on to religion. Buddhist clergy in Sri Lanka was an aristocratic class exploiting the poor people of the country. From the beginning it was a land owning class of exploiters and even the Kings were afraid of them due to their wealth. Entire organization of Buddhist Clergy was devoted to management of the rice fields and lands belonging to the Viharas. If you have any doubt about this read the number one historian of Sri LAnka, Prof. R.L.L.R. Gunewardene’s PhD Thesis (A sinhala translation of this is available as “Sivura saha Nagula”. Recently some Buddhist monks staged an agitation holding placards against Ven. Kiribathgod Gnananada Thero for building a Mahamewna Meditation Centre in Ampara. This shows that their aim is to collect money from poor people and whoever competes with them are to be eliminated. Sanga Sasana has become a business organization now. “Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people”.

Now the Nagula within the Sivura is stirred up to the extant that it will pierce through all the fabrics of the civilized Lankan society.

I seriously don’t know what is happening to this country?! And my dear friend, please do not blame the other religions, ”all respect other religion like your own” Our Prophet Muhammed (SAL) said so. Its not their fault. Coz, I have friends from other religions too and THEY are all wonderful people. Everyone is not to be blamed for someone’s mistake. I don’t know why they are doing this. WHY START ANOTHER WAR? I thought the war was already over. Ya, this country’s majority is Sinhalese. We know that and we respect that. We don’t want any trouble. We just want to live here in this beautiful island with peace. Because we are SRI LANKAN’s too! I love my country!

What a Joke……..Just three days after Three Rajapakse Brothers had Iftar dinners with the Muslim community and with foreign Diplomats in hotels, at Araliya Gaha and community Halls.
Let’s see how the Staged drama is going to be unfold.
All I could tell my Muslim friends is Just be cool and Laugh at these joker Cows wearing robes and keep on laughing all the way until their next drama.
These are a third grade uneducated bunch of Pinguttarayas looking for work and are paid commission by their bosses to do these acts. These are not the real monks but daytime Daniel, night time Saradiel type.
Just have patience and stay away from them. They will fall into the same pit hole they dig one day.
Have patience and keep praying. Your Alla is mightier than these Homeless kenahillas.

To all the muslim people,how would you feel if we constructed a bunch of tempels in saudi? Well thats just the way we feel now.For an example take moscow theres about a 100000 muslims there but they dont have mosques all over the place but in sri lanka you people try to build mosques all over the place and once you get attacked by people then yall blame the others ,all im saying is this is a buddist nation and we will never let any one take that away even if it means fighting for it just the way the muslims would fight to protect mecca.as far as you people stay within your limits itll be fine. Also theres a saying “not all muslims are terrorists but all terrorists are muslims” to be the most hated religion in the world by a wast majority of non islamic people there is definitely something very wrong about the way you people do things.

The Muslims are getting the taste of their own medicine which they practice on minorities in Muslim dominated countries. The Monks are dancing the devils.
In total Religions are the roots of all evils and madly followed by the deluded fools.

There were several incidents against Muslims all over the country
ever since BBS dropped from the heavens. Those who watched the TNL
programmes will know the unsavoury, unbuddhistic, lies, and damn lies
uttered by the Reverent in Yellow robes.
What is shocking most is the indifference of the people in power who
behaved as if nothing has happened and nothing is happening in the blessed land of our.
A ruler must rule. Ruler can not pretend to rule while the law
and order is breached right in front of the people.

Dear Muslim brothers,
B 4 v comment on others on this issue, first v must think what went wrong on our side, V say v ar Sri Lankan Muslims, ar v showing the real spirit of that v ar Sri Lankan. Pls note the following.
1.On independent day v ar scared to raise our national flag in front of our house scared of the lion picture is ha ram.
2. V don’t have the knowledge to stand up for the national anthem.
3. In the capital when a ODI match against our country (some uneducated idiots) support some other country. Like wise there many mistake on our side, so v must correct our selves,v must do a proper-gender specially the Muslims living in the central capital.
Alhamdulillah ACJU is doing a great job on this in educating the Muslims on this mistakes through media specially radio but Muslims listening to radio is very less than watching TV.
/
Kabi / August 11, 2013
I laugh a lot after reading these comments. Humans have been brain washed to an extent to believe like foolish what is not existing at all.
GOD IS THE BIGGEST LIE OF HUMAN. There is no god, no heaven, no hell. These are all man made lies.
Do what is good…. do not hurt any one. show kindness to any live. That is enough.
In my view, the man made GOD and RELIGION has brought more disasters to human being than any thing else.
All man made disasters have been brought in by someone who believes in GOD & RELIGION

I ask you:
– would you have ever lived if there was no moon or sun
– would you have ever lIved if this earth was other than the 3rd planet of the solar system.
– would you have lived if there was NO clouds, trees, oxygen, carbon dioxide, the 7 spheres, the van belt and many more which you can keep on goin.
– see the perfection of every living thing. Take human for instance. Think, what if your mouth was on top of your eyes? What if no eyes at all?
– the perfect amount of gravity on earth
– the right 21% of oxygen is maintained on the surface of the earth all the time. Did you know if it was even 23% the existence of human life will become impossible.
– and if your going to say these are the laws of Nature. I ask you a question who created and planned the laws of nature to be so so so perfect?
Just because you make your comment on bold that does not mean your intelligent and saying the truth. You were given a brain to think and reason your very own existence. Just don’t be fooled by the hypocrisy of medias and technology.
I can keep on going proving the existence of one supreme creator who is unseen to us and we worship him alone.

Kabi / August 11, 2013
Now you say that GOD created the entire planets stars galaxies the entire universe… I hear that there are more universes they were also created by god???
Ok…. if god created which god? Christian or Muslim or Hindu god or any other god??
As per some who believe in god and religion, Christian god creates Christian baby, Muslim god creates Muslim baby and Hindu god creates a Hindu baby?? Then rest of the creatures?
The planet earth has happened to be a suitable place for living out of billions. we are all just chemical reactions… that is all.
God, religion and after death life theory all are lies and were invented to comfort human facing death. It comforts human beings that they have something after death. That makes them feel better when facing death.

“Do what is good…. do not hurt any one. show kindness to any live”
From where did you learn that you should be kind and do good etc? May be you got it from your parents but where do you think they got it from?
The base would only be due to teachings of a religion
/
Kabi / August 11, 2013
How old the religions are??? Before the religions love, affection kindness towards other living creatures did not exist at all???
I heard that some religions also taught how to keep slaves, how to kill animals, how to kill prostitutes, how to kill a woman goes with another man etc etc…
Tell me how the slave culture changed… changed by religion or advancement/development of human thinking???
HOW CAN A NEW BORN BABY BECOME CHRISTIAN / MUSLIM / HINDU BABY?? IT SHOULD NOT BE….

Assalamu Alaikkum Warahmathullahi Wabarakathuhu
For Critical Situation of Colombo “Molawattha Mosque”
Please……. For Sake of Allah (Swt) Recite This Following Dua in your prayers as our beloved Prophet Muhammad salllahualihiwasallam did in this in these kind of situations.
When we fear harm from a certain individual or group. Imam Ahmad and others have reported on the authority of Abu Musa al-Asha’ri, who said, “If the Prophet feared harm from an individual or group of people he would supplicate as follows:
Allaahumma inna naj’aluka fee nuhoorihim wa na’oodhu bika min shuroorihim
(O Allah, We position You in their chests, and we seek refuge in You from any harm that may come to us from their side).
Aameen

I am no muslim / August 11, 2013
Today, most non-Muslims have come to know what is in the Koran and the sort of thing thought in madrases. They know that nowhere in the Koran talks about love thy neighbor.
They know that more than 60% of the Koran points out the distinctions between Muslims and non-believers. They know the Koran incessantly preaches the inferiority of non-Muslims. Koran compare unbelievers to vile animals. Eg. Koran 3:110 says, Muslims are the best of people and 98:6 says unbelievers (like Buddhists) are the worst of creatures. I can quote more than hundred such verses if you want. You cannot assign them to some situation or context.
Asnaf, You should understand why non-Muslims all over the world dislike your racist and bigoted ideology – Islam.
/
Peter Paul / August 11, 2013
Singly the 60% of inferior distinction reflects to your own writing thus making the Quran more valid and infallible in its own thesis.

I am sadened and shamefull the way our venerable theros bahaviour and very much like to distance my self calling a buddhist. I also think they are resorting to these actions is to safeguard there selfish economical and political agenda. These actions are good receipe to stay away from buddhist temple as no decent individual should get any preachings from these thugs.
I hope one day truth will prevail and all these thugs sent to prison.

Dear Sri Lankans,
Though it is so called buddhist country, it belongs to all of us. Its not owned by ravana balaya or bodu bala sena. They are tempting the buddhist and minorities for another war. This will help the government to exist on power despite of othe political, economical and international issues.

To Muslims – whatever is done has got nothing to do with Buddhism, so please don’t create a bigger communal tensions by slandering them. It’s always the people for their own selfish reasons who are responsible not religion.
To Buddhist – Islam is a religion of peace as all religions are. Stop slandering Islam comparing or blaming the religion just because in certain parts of the world people misuse it. II’m sure all Buddhists would not want to be judged and called haters because of a few people who are Misusing Buddhism.
Let’s be united and stronger to eliminate these rotten eggs of all religions !!

Peace, If Islam is a religion of peace, how come it’s scriptures, the Koran has so many murderous verses? How could pointing out such violent verses be hate mongering or slandering.
Woldn’t it be better if Muslims attribute violent commands in the Koran as Satanic verses.

He clearly outlines how the foreigners used Egyptians themselves to kick out their democratically elected Leader and brought about chaos that have already cost the lives of over 300 Egytians who voted in their first Democratic Election.
He further reminds them that worse is yet to come for the poor Egytians in particular.
