National Unity Front Leader Azath Salley has written to the IGP urging him to take immediate action to prevent any unwanted tension in Dambulla following an attack on a mosque in the area early Monday morning, while also requesting immediate legal action against the culprits responsible for the attack.
Azath Salley
Salley in a letter to the IGP yesterday has pointed out that the CCTV camera installed in the Khairiya mosque premises clearly shows two individuals armed with petrol, petrol bombs, tires and carbide arriving at the mosque at around 12.45 pm and carrying out the attack.
“The CCTV camera clearly reveals the two culprits and what they have done,” he has written while requesting the law enforcement authorities to take immediate action against them and take them into custody and continue with necessary legal proceedings.
Pointing out this attack is the latest in a series of provocations aimed at destroying the mosque, Salley has added that a tense situation has been prevalent in the area ever since the attack on the Dambulla mosque that was led by a mob of Rajapaksa regime- supporters and extremist Buddhist monks.
He has furthermore stated that despite the Muslims in the area being interested in settling the issue amicably, certain parties have continued to stir up trouble while the government has turned a blind eye on the attacks. Therefore, Salley has urged the Police to ensure that immediate action is taken to prevent unwanted tension in the area.
Meanwhile, the Police Spokesman’s office however stated that they believe the mosque has been attacked by several firecrackers and it has resulted in minor damages to the roof.

Azath Salley,
I would like to ask you a question:
When the government, police and the judges are acting in colution, what is achieved by legal action? You will just waste money on lawyers and your valuable time and mental energy.
If I were yo, I would take it to the UNOHR as already so many attacks on Mosques and Muslim properties/businesses have gone on with impunity with no action taken by any of the authorities.

“Meanwhile, the Police Spokesman’s office however stated that they believe the mosque has been attacked by several firecrackers and it has resulted in minor damages to the roof.”
1. Complain and file report with Police.
2. File a Civil Case for damages against the culprits, and ask the courts to request the identity of the culprits.
3. Have all this recorded and Present to the World.
4. Expose, Expose and Expose.

Thiru,
The clause to protect and foster Buddhism in the constitution is not as innocuous as some claim. It is a premeditated and insidious clause that is designed to undermine all other faiths in the country. By this clause, the state and the security forces are duty bound to protect and foster Buddhism. This is why attacks on other places of worships are ignored.
The Illegal erection of the Buddha statue in Trinco Town nearly exposed the fallibility of this clause. The then Chief Justice lent on the AG to withdraw the local court ruling!
SL cannot emerge as a just nation until this disparity is rectified; I do not see such a thing happening in the near future. In the meantime, I do not know what with happen. The minorities will bear the brunt of this clause there is no doubt!

You Say:
“See what Sally’s cousins or fellow thowheeds in the ISIS are doing in Iraq and Syria, Al Shabab doing in Somalia, Boko Haram doing in Nigeria, Taliban doing in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya etc to followers of other sects and other faiths in the name of Allah.”
The Wahhabis, Salafis, Tauheeds, Talibans, Al Shaab, Boko Haram, Taliban etc. are NOT Muslims, even though they claim to be Muslims, just like Sinhala “Buddhists” claim to be Buddhists. Careful evaluation of the Devils actions as warned in the Quran and the actions of the above confirms that the Above are Devil Followers, Satan Followers. There is even a Hadith on That.
Hadith of Najd
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadith_of_Najd
This is similar to Sinhala “Buddhism”. Sinhala “Buddhism” is NOT Buddha’s Buddhism. It is Maraism, Racism and Chauvinism all mixed together by the Para-Sinhala from South India.
Test the DNA of Para-Sinhala and Para-Tamils.They are indistinguishable from the South Indians.
It is all based on deceptions of the fools, called Modayas.

I agree.
And also do not forget to let OIC (Organisation of Islamic Corporation – comprises of 57 countries) know of every little anti Islamic activity in Sri Lanka. There is supposed to be a fact finding mission coming to Sri Lanka from OIC soon. They must know.
It is a shame we have to internationalise local issues. If we had a government with guts and a police service that is not utterly inept, corrupt and moribund and a judiciary full of ingratiates there will be no need to internationalise any of our local issues.

Racism raising it’s ugly head again. The seeds of hatred are being sown by extremist Buddhists wearing saffron robes, who take advantage of ignorance, to spread that hatred.
The Sri Lankan government is complicit in these crimes, because they do nothing, say nothing, and do not hold the criminals accountable.

“…..situated on a sacred buddhist land….”
Para Muslims should have organized Night Car races in that sacred Buddhist Land with enough Mathata thitha to overflow and foreign Prostitutes to entertain Pure Sinhala Buddhists. Even our Mahanayaka’s will approve that kind of thing as they are allowed according to Nanasara’s Abasarana Pitakaya.

hello my dear friend
I agree with you since you use the word PARA as it is applicable to those who migrated to this banana republic long ago. You really confirm that only those paras have involved in this incident. When the CCTV recordings are verified you will get the truth though you know who got involved in this incident. Try to find the reality and wipe out racism from you and your fellows so that the country prosper , ofcourse only after all RA YA s are perished

Muslins began praying in business places and now they have converted these places to mosques. Not only that, they install speakers and make noise every day morning and every time.
People are fed with that.
Extremist muslim politicians come and tell a different story.

Sinhala Buddhists started praying under lamp posts alongside d*piss/crow s*t and converted them into temples. Their screaming in pali is very ugly. What to do. Others are tolerating. You also do the same.

When Muslims organised a protest march against Aluthgama carnage the president was cynical by saying
“Addressing a gathering at Hambantota port on June 22, Rajapakse cynically asked: “Who launched hartals [general strikes and shutdowns of businesses] when the Kaththankudi mosque was attacked and Muslim people were killed?”
The president wants the support of the Muslim countries to avert the investigations undertaken by UN HRC on alleged war crimes and violations of human rights. Muslim population must educate the power hungry Muslim ministers not to be a part of this government and urge Muslim countries such as Iran, Saudi Arabia and Malaysia to have a strong ward to the president to stop these arson attacks on Mosques.
Before the annihilation of Tamils is completed they have laid their hands on next minority Muslims.

Fathima Fukushima / September 17, 2014
This mosque is not spreading the true form of Islam (Wahab teachings). It follows Saivaislam which is a corrupted form of Islam by south Indian Hindu beliefs.
So it has no impact on true Islam.
What we must protect is true Islam (Wahab teachings). Please don’t try to give creative interpretation to what God’s Apostle (PBUH) taught.
Have respect to other faiths. I commend Wahab sects in Srilanka for saving Islam from Saivaislam.

Index Satan in the Quran
Hadith of Najd
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadith_of_Najd
“A number of authors have claimed that the hadith refers to Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, the patronym of the Wahhabi movement. It is accounted that the origin of Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab is from the modern day Najd region of Saudi Arabia,[14] which happens to be the only surviving region that carried on the title of ‘Najd’ after the geographical codification regardless that there were several distinct locations known previously as ‘Najd’. This theory is generally supported by adherents to other various sects in Sunni Islam that have disdain for Wahhabism.[15] This is often speculated to be due to the revival of prophetic traditions, strictly clinging to hadith and negating what was seen at the time to be bid‘ah or ‘heretical innovations’, instigated by Ibn Abd al-Wahhab and later carried on by his followers.[16] as well as Twelver Shi’ism.[17] Contrary to the accusations there are numerical hadith that discredit this argument due to praise of the ethnic tribe of Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, being the Bani Tameem tribe, and praise for the region of what is now known as Najd and its peoples. Through anthropological records it is accounted that the Bani Tamim are the majority of people inhabiting the land of modern day ‘Najd’ in present day Saudi Arabia.”

Muhammad, PBUH is the prophet of Islam. Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab thought us the correct interpretation of the Quran. Need less to say then Wahhabis are the true followers of Allah. It is our duty to spread it among all Muslims in Sri Lanka.

Why you have no Guts to bring this and many other attrocities and killings committed to Muslims to UNHCR??
Why do you still believe in Sri Lanka State sponsored, one sided, judicial system that has no justice?
Why your Justice minister still not quit the undemocratic regime?
Why Fawzi claims fire crackers where the CCTV footage and other evidence clearly shows the Grenade attack before very eyes of the police?
Why? Why??Why???

Jim,
You are right.Muslims converted some business places to mosque to accommodate more devotees who want to pray.
Next time will tell them to convert to BARS & BROTHELS then I am sure you and your MARA clan will be happy.
Bloody Jim, first act like a true Buddhist and put a stop to CASINOS,BARS & PROSTITUTION thriving under your SWINDLER MASTER MARA.
Then let us talk about places of religious worship. Wait for the day when your MASTER MARA will convert all the Temples to Casinos & Brothels.

Asath Sally, Run man run to UNHCR and make a complaint. Now you have your own guy sitting on the head of UNHCR chair. Your origin drug lords in SL spend even millions of Dollars,Riyals or rupees for each trip to Geneva. And while there you can enjoy 5 star treatment with all luxuries including pretty woman companions. Forget about politics in SL make this job of your next lucrative job. Try to start a new company for erecting CCTV camer’s each and every prayer station,mosques even every muslim houses. Make fear among your people saying that anytime Sinhalese might attack muslims so erecting a CCTV camera is the best option they have. Man you can become a trillionaire pretty soon. Come on Asad you cannot win any election, so this is your only option. Think about it.
