Contrary to widespread belief that Muslims only help “their kind” and not those of other religious faiths, a family of Muslims- Mohamed Imtiyas and his brothers proved otherwise this Vesak season.
The Imtiyas family fully funded a massive Dansala organised by the Havelock Road, Swarna Junction 3-wheeler committee which drew people of all faiths in their hundreds.
The delicious vegetarian rice & curry meal offered was cooked in the typical Buriyani style by Muslim cooks.
Speaking to CT, Mr. Mohamed Imtiyas said “This is one way we can show our gratitude and appreciation to our Buddhist friends who help us in numerous ways when we are in difficulty”.

Yes… Giving “dansela’ to Sinhalees by spending money [Edited out]from sinhalees. Muslims ( Majority) are very rasist. Besides this ‘dansela’ is given this time because muslims are afraid of grwing sinhala power. they know their ‘evil’ is now well known to sinhalees.

That kind of bigotted segments should be banned if not now tomorrow. They are just evil thinkers, hate speech makers… trying to infect the guillible folks by their wrong means. No means they will support to protect the buddhism. If the monk immolated day before yesterday could have been saved – if those BBS had wholehearted mind sets to help him out. 30 YEAR old monk should have been stable minded if he would sacrifice his life only they the slaughters would start stoping those activities. It was kind of a brain wash that took his life in that manner. Authorities together with buddhist sekts should rise up against any form of fanatisms emerginy to tarnish the buddhist image of peaceful lankens.

Dear Kawanthissa,
Mr. Imtiyas and the group should be applauded for this Dansala on Wesak days..
Kawantissa, Remember, all the people of Lanka before the advent of Buddhism during the reign of Devanam (Tamil-Hindu) Piyatissa were either Jain, Hindu or Animist.
It is my understanding that the Muslims are required to give 2.5% of their earning and wealth as charity. This is a good way to give that charity, to their fellow humans, neighbors and countrymen..
Kawantissa, just grow up from your Monk Mahanam inspired Sinhala Buddhist racism Myths, and follow Buddhas teachings.
Why don’t you open up a Dansala yourself and feed the people.
Better, go to Daham Paseala, then go to Pansela, and take Sil.

AYMAN / May 28, 2013
LESTER DO NOT TALK OF THINGS YO ARE IGNORANT OF. BUT THEN THAT IS LESTER
Zakat is for the poor and the needy and those who are employed to administer and collect it, and for those whose hearts are to be won over, and for the freeing of human beings from bondage, and for those who are overburdened with debts and for every struggle in God’s cause, and for the wayfarers: this is a duty ordained by God, and God is the All-Knowing, the Wise.”
(Qur’an 9:60)
One of the five pillars of Islam, Zakat is a purification for one’s wealth, freeing one from the love of possessions by encouraging humility and discipline. An essential principle of Islam is that everything belongs to God. We do not own our wealth, but have been entrusted with worldly possessions by Him.
Zakat means ‘purification’ and ‘growth’; possessions are purified by setting aside a portion for those in need, and like the pruning of plants, this cutting back encourages new growth.
The annual payment of zakat is different to any charitable gifts given out of kindness or generosity, otherwise known as sadaqah. Zakat is a mandatory religious obligation and forms the systematic giving of 2.5% of one’s net wealth each year, benefitting targeted recipients on a sustained basis.
From the Qur’anic verses ordaining zakat, eight classes of recipients have been identified by the scholars. As Ramadan approaches, we talk to British charities that distribute support to the eight beneficiaries of zakat.
Click the links below to read about each of the eight beneficiaries.>
The Masakeen – ‘the destitute’
Fuqaraa – ‘the needy or poor’
Amil’ Zakah – ‘the alms collectors’
Fi sabi `Lillah – ‘in the path of God’
Gharimun – ‘people burdened with debt’
Ibn as’Sabil – ‘the wayfarers’
Riqab – ‘people in bondage or slavery’
Mu’Allaf – ‘those who have inclined towards Islam’
/
Ask / May 28, 2013
Dear Mr. Lester, no, the 2.5% are given to the less forunate and needy. Not for Jihad. Not for the extremist muslims… there are extremists in every religion… example is BBS from Buddhists! Please don’t spread racism and hatred, our country has had enough of all that with a war which lasted 30 years and many lives lost. We are Sri Lankans… act like it!

All bull Lester, as usual. You are just like the BBS, full of deliberate lies.
I don’t know why you have to lie like this. There is no fruitful debate which can happen with a liar.
/
Lester / May 28, 2013
There is no need to lie. Readers should understand that zakat is a snake with two heads.
As with all things Islamic, one must first examine the legal aspects of zakat to truly appreciate its purport. Etymologically related to the notion of “purity,” zakat — paying a portion of one’s wealth to specifically designated recipients — is a way of purifying oneself, on par with prayers (see Koran 9:103).
The problem, however, has to do with who is eligible for this mandatory “charity.” Most schools of Muslim jurisprudence are agreed to eight possible categories of recipients — one of these being those fighting “in the path of Allah,” that is, jihadis, also known as “terrorists.”
In fact, financially supporting jihadis is a recognized form of jihad — jihad al-mal; even the vast majority of militant verses in the Koran (e.g., 9:20, 9:41, 49:15, 61:10-11) prioritize the need to fund the jihad over merely fighting in it, as fighting with one’s wealth often precedes fighting with one’s self. Well-known Islamists — from international jihadi Osama bin Laden to authoritative cleric Sheikh Qaradawi — are well aware of this and regularly exhort Muslims to fund the jihad via zakat.
More revealing of the peculiarly Islamic nature of zakat is the fact that Muslims are actually forbidden from bestowing this “charity” onto non-Muslims (e.g., the vast majority of American infidels). “Charitable” Muslim organizations operating on American soil are therefore no mere equivalents to, say, the Salvation Army, a Christian charity organization whose “ministry extends to all, regardless of ages, sex, color, or creed.” In Islam, creed is a major criterion for receiving “charity” — not to mention for receiving social equality.
http://pjmedia.com/blog/why-muslim-charities-fund-the-jihad/2/
Above is written by Raymond Ibrahim, a Muslim, and explains zakat clearly. As you can see, zakat can be given to support jihad. Secondly, zakat cannot be given to non-Muslim charities. Zakat must only be given to a Muslim cause.

@lester you fool.. im having a right ol laugh at ur foolish comments! im not even irritated or annoyed coz it cracks me up!
For starters let me clarify one thing to u and many who don’t even know the meaning of ‘jihaad’… Jihaad is not what is shown in the media.. the meaning of jihaad is “facing a struggle”.. which means; taking care of your aging parents and making them smile is jihaad, finding the time for your family a& taking care of them with your busy work schedule is jihaad, facing a tough exam in a subject your weak in is jihaad, at height of poverty to be able to smile and be happy with one meal a day and be thankful for that is jihaad.. and those are the reality of jihaad!
And yes, 2.5% of our earnings go to charity, and have you even ever just once witness where that money goes? have u seen how many kids have a smile on their faces knowing that they have school books and uniforms and school fees paid for with that money?? do you know how many kids get out of poverty and able to take care of their family instead of begging on the streets are able to find work coz that money pays for university education? do u know how many families can light a stove for months and months becz they get good for months to come? Do u know how many old people get medication and food coz of that? do u know how many young girls who cant afford to be given in marriage due to poverty get a chance to get married coz of that?
NO! you wouldn’t know! because your too busy sitting in your kingdom of ignorance.. anyway enjoy in while it lasts coz what goes around comes around.. & racists like you are like a bad odor.. and nothing but a big burden on society..
Karma is a Pain in the ass when it comes to bite.. so for your sake if you cant say anything good, don’t say anything at all.. :)
/
Lester / May 28, 2013
2.5% of your earnings go to only Muslim charities, since Quran forbids you from donating to infidel causes. Many of these charities help to fund jihad. You also forgot to mention jizya , another great Islamic tradition. Your Prophet only let the infidels live, if they agreed to pay jizya. If you disagree, I will quote the relevant verses in Quran.

Dear Amarasiri,
Thank you for your sane and soothing posts. If not for them, and a few others of their like, readers will come away from these columns with the mistaken belief that the majority of Sinhalese are bigots, racists and fools. As an aspiring Buddhist, I find that the majority of comments to these articles are a shocking but fascinating mirror of the very minds that the Buddha warned against – anger, its extremes, envy, pride, arrogance, spite, pettiness — venting their fury, all stemming from attachment and probably fear and frustration at their lot. The maras are here, in these comments columns, loudly proclaiming their ignorance, stirring up the fires of hatred and ruin, and trying hard to drag people, communities, the country into their mire of suffering. In a sense, everyone here is a teacher of what to do, and what not to do, in order to get out of the cycle of suffering. Ultimately, that is what Buddhism is about. I just pray that people – if they are Buddhists – wake up and begin to sincerely be what they proclaim to be.

Do you know Muslim businessmen and others who have money have always contributed money for the erection of Pandals and having Wesak Dansalas. That is nothing new and not done for any fear but done with goodwill. Some Buddhists do not understand the goodwill of others and find fault with others because they, such Buddhists, do not have confidence in their faith and in themselves. Muslims have confidence in their faith so they do not mind helping other faiths.

I see you put your Almighty Allah and his Koran above the constitution. What you want is a theocratic system with Allah at its head and Allah’s law, Sharia interpreted by a ruling body of clerics. That is absolutely incompatible with democracy. In that there is no room for a secular political system in which all people are treated as equals. What Imthiyas family did is good but I think it’s an eyewash to hook wink the mass until Muslims increase their numbers here.

I lived down Havelock road for most of my life & the dansala run by the three wheel stand has been done for years and most of the contributors being muslims.. we all took initiative and did it with so much community spirit whatever religion we came from..
To cheat or lie or do anything u don’t have to be muslim, Buddhist, Christian or tamil.. each individual is responsible for their own actions & it has nothing to do with religion or race..
Don’t get me wrong.. but if I was to judge Sinhalese based on ur response, it would be pathetic.. but that’s the difference, I know too many broad minded intelligent & amazing friends & family who are Sinhalese & of many religions..& I am not ignorant and foolish to make my mind up on a whole race just co’z of a few individuals.. And I truly believe that each person is responsible for their own actions & it has nothing to do with any race..
The reason for Sri Lankas biggest downfall is ignorance like this, people forget to think as humanbeings.. we forget we all love,get angry, feel sadness happiness pain all the same what ever religion or race we come from.. wish people would actually look a bit beyond the walls of the well…Sad!

I am just horrified by your comments about Muslims. Maybe, as among people of ALL faiths, races, classes, etc, there are bad eggs, but I have the most marvellous (SL) Muslim friends whom I got to know when i was about 30, & few people could have been kinder or more generous or gone out of their way so much for us (& for others) as they have. The hospitality we have enjoyed in the homes of some of their relations too over the years is something I was rarely able to return but they understood why & have never ceased to welcome us. Because most of us are now old and quite unwell we see much less of each other but I know I could always go to their homes and be welcomed.
Besides them, your shocking comment about Muslim shops makes me think immediately of a gem of a shopkeeper (M, about 40) who is neither dishonest nor destroying anything.
Rather it is the thoughts and comments & inclination to generalise — from individual or unfortunate experiences — like yours — that contributes to destroying what is good in this country.
In fact, I can only see loving or non-loving individuals now among the people I know and they span all our religions & cultures/ethnicities & faiths.
Your comments terrify me, as does the behaviour of aggressive clergy — from any religion.

Manel, when my father in law died, he bequeathed some portion of his wealth to those who served him and to some of the poor people he associated with. Among others, Menike who looked after my children got a twenty perch of land. Heenbanda my father in laws driver fell ill and could not work. However he was paid his salary till he died. I could add more, by my family and others close to us, but the point I wish to make is that despite all our good intentions and humanitarianism, an attempt is being made by contributors like LESTER, LEELA,etc, using their own pen names and masquerading as others , to paint the Muslims as scheming cheaters, exclaiming hosannas to the BBS and other racist elements. The wife of a very close Buddhist friend, the daughter of a very prominent Buddhist, says that she includes us in her prayers for a little favor we did which had a lasting impact on her family. These morons do not for a moment think the immense damage they are doing to this fabric of our society. Anyway theirs is a plan based on falsehood and hatred and is bound to fail!

Sha, In a life threatening situation if a Muslim gives you a hand and its your only solution, what would you do ?
If you go to your new found sinhala kade mudalali and ask him for a box of matches and if for a fleeting moment he or you think, that if i give him the money will he give me the box of matches or if i give him the box of matches will he give me the money, where do you stand?

If you go to a muslim shop, they talk really nice. but they cheat you.
Absolutely true. This is why I also avoid doing business at Muslim shops. It is not just Sri Lanka. When I was in India several months ago, the Muslim 3 wheeler driver was paid a commission by the Muslim shopowner to bring random passengers to his shop.

Lester… you are a jester! When you go to India (0r for that matter any Country) you are a Tourist. The Taxi drivers are smart enough to recognize lazy gullible Tourists like you who seek their help to obtain bargains.. and when they take you to a shopkeeper they know, you get the goods and he gets the bargain! simple as that!
It happens to tourists in Srilanka too! And all other Countries!
Any shopkeeper talks to you nicely, you should be smart enough to know it.Islam or any other Religion is not to blame for dishonesty.
/
Lester / May 28, 2013
@ Mohamed Fazly:
This three-wheeler driver did not cheat me; in fact, he had a very low fixed rate. The rate was purposely low because he needed time to take tourists to the Muslim shops. A very clever tactic. But it did not succeed as I and my friends did not buy anything from the shop he took me to; we got a better deal at a Tamil shop.
It does not happen to tourists in Sri Lanka, if they go in the 3 wheeler with a meter reader.
There is no excuse for dishonesty. If Muslim businessmen have a reputation for dishonesty, there is some logic behind it. Anyone who has experienced their aggressive and underhand tactics will know this. That is why I avoid Muslim shops not just in Sri Lanka, but everywhere in the world. I go to Arabic restaurants, but that is only because the prices are fixed in advance.

Anyone who takes a person to a shop for shopping has an understanding that the driver gets a commission. Any hotel, jewellery shop, restaurant, etc, etc… This is common practice in all parts of the world… contact anyone in the trade… Ministry of tourism will definitely will be able to help you…

How do you know the Tuck Tuck is not owned by the shop
owner?And how do you know, the tourists the driver
brings definitely by from this shop?Is that shop the
only one in the corner?Where on earth customers are
forced to buy goods?You perhaps were driving tourists
in Srilanka to guest houses and shops for commissions
and your experience applied here with the tendency of
jealousy and stinginess playing the role of your
lifestyle.What’s wrong even with the shop owner pulling
crowd to his store for a commission,if the customers are
happy about what they get for their money?And as for your
ranting and raving of Islam,Quran and its prophet,just
look at what Thomas Carlyle had to say “Call it not false,
look not at the falsehood of it,look at the truth of it,
for, these twelve hundred centuries it has been the religion
and the life – guidance of the fifth part of the whole
kindred of mankind.”

Your comments proves that ur an uncivilized, ignorant fool who haven’t really moved with a muslim ever..
you don’t have to be a muslim to cheat.. you can be anyone for that matter!
I am a muslim and I sleep well at night coz I have never cheated anyone in my life and every cent I earn is fair and hard earned.. & my very own Sinhalese friends have told me that no harm will ever befall me or my generation becz of our honesty and fairness.. and these are the values we’ve been brought up with! & from childhood we have been taught that we should not even touch a cent that wasn’t truthfully earned and at all times be honest with ur product when selling.. And I know everyone around me is like that so I know for sure for a fact u have definitely not met any proper muslims of class who truly live by our teachings or uve hardly ever moved with any muslims at all! Anyways I don’t have to justify it to you, as you are a no one but a burden on mother Lanka.. as this world is for everyone to live peacefully and u nor I have the right to claim it!
Unlike you, I have moved with amazing intelligent Sinhalese, SO i am not a foolto make up my mind that all Sinhalese are like the theif who broke into my house or the corner shop owner who is a Sinhalese who cheats or the rowdy threewheel driver or the pervert bus conducter.. I would be no different to a fool like you to base my judgement like that.. i know there is no medicine for fools like you.. i just feel sad for mother Lanka as fools like you are nothing but a burden with menaces! whether u like it or not Sinhalese, Tamils, Muslims & burgers are one family & even overseas we moves as a SRI LANKAN family immaterial of race and religion! deal with it!

@ Lester,
Paying commission to taxi drivers for bringing the customers happens everywhere. If you go to Thailand it is very common. They are buddhists, not muslims. Even in Sri Lanka tourists guide get commissionds from shops. Come down to this earth Mr. lester
/
Lester / May 28, 2013
I am not talking about tourist guides. (Sinhalese) Sri Lankan taxi drivers also cheat, but they do not have special deals with shopowners. (Sinhalese) Sri Lankan taxi drivers will cheat by charging a high rate; if there is a profit, it is for themselves only. When a Muslim taxi driver in India cheats, he is doing so in the interests of the Muslim business community.
I do not care about Thailand as it has no relevance.
/
mohamed fazly ilyas / May 29, 2013

We care about Thailand. It is a Buddhist country. There – took, took (three wheeler) drivers are paid commission by the Buddhist chop owners for the passengers whom they pick on the road. Idot, you fool, you would have born to a bitch, for you if a poor muslim driver takes commission from a shop owner it will go to muslim jihad. If a Buddhist monk take it won’t go to a Buddhist Jihad! Buddhist jihad was over 1000 years older then Muslim jihad.

I didn’t want to talk about love affairs. I don’t know why they go with Muslims. If you think they go for money I feel so sorry about your guys. What I wanted to said that even though Muslims demand halal products they don’t adhere to Islamic teaching. Muslims can get married only with girls whose religions are mentioned in people of book. So no Buddhist and Hindu girls. And if a Muslim think if his/her religion is peaceful he/she must know that quran has mentioned “let no compulsion to religion”. Therefore Muslims cant ask girls to convert to Islam because of marriage.
Read This:
http://qa.sunnipath.com/issue_view.asp?HD=1&ID=2267&CATE=10
In previous comment I didn’t mention that there are some Muslim women too married to non Muslims like Buddhist. But as I know they go for their Buddhist husband not because of money but for love, affection, kindness and protection.
Even though I try to clarify everything by using your religions I don’t recognize Islam as a religion due to contradictions that lead to brutal killings and wars. You can apostate Islam and be a Christian because Christians also worship same god.

Muslim girls whom got married to Buddhists we treat like Queens not only them but their families too.
/
Lester / May 29, 2013
Muslims can get married only with girls whose religions are mentioned in people of book.
That is right. In England, Sweden, France, etc. the Muslim guys go after non-Muslim girls. It has led to a big problem in England, because gangs of Pakistani men force young white girls into prostitution. Most of the rapes in Scandinavian countries are committed by men from Islamic nations. This is the real interpretation of “hijab”; if you don’t wear hijab, then a man has the right to abuse you. Of course, if there is a war, then hijab doesn’t matter; thousands of women have been raped in Syria.
/
Asanka / May 30, 2013
Sri Lankan Muslims think in same way. They think all women in western countries like bad women. Some times same thing apply to non Muslim girls who are friend of Muslims. One day a Muslim guy told me, pointing to a girl, she is not good( He used the relevant word but I can’t put it here) then I asked why he replied me with a hilarious reason.
“She wear short skirts. She always smile and talk with anybody….”
I cant remember other reasons. May be the “AYMAN” who has replied to my comment think in same way. Some times non Muslim women think a Muslim does not need her for a relationship because he’s already married. But for Muslim, they shouldn’t think in that way because even a religious Muslim has another 3 to get. Also hijab segregate women as you said. Specially it make Muslim minds to recognize a girl without a hijab as a bad girl.

As I got to know muslims going back to my days in SL, was two decades ago. There were nice youth from Beruwala. I like their well displined attitudes whatever the religion they respected. Buddhists – I mean so called ones seem to have nothing but just have been born to buddhist families. If one would study it properly, how many of among the rising crime doers belong to buddhists and muslims and other religious groups ? There you will clearly see, many of the them are born buddhists. Sure the marjority of the nation are buddhists, but today, the name of buddhism, some ministers continue money exortions in and out of Kelaniya areas – these are facts, but the rulers keep quiet not taking any legal action agaist those ministers. It is proved by Balumgala sender lately, that there are sinhala buddhist provincial council MPs (Wiraj Mendis) from Hikkaduwa has been threatning poor families in the areas with the patronage of state police. Victims mourn loosing their own lands being deceived by those thugs, they have become helpless in that areas, who would take action against them, no body. Donot the thug ministers, thuggish president know about the incidents – they are well informed, but no actions, that is the situation before the fallen nation today. How many of callers added their views against the particular politicians, there were many – all of them came with that they have been threaten by particular Mendis and his gangster groups. Women in that area are targeted for their sex abuses. May be Mervin and all other thuggish ministers are behind all these and that could be reason why the POLICE in Hikkaduwa failed to react wholeheartedly. If the country^s president has a RIGHT BACKBONE, nothing like this could have happened. His indulgence is his executive power. He appointed any unqualified person to the top position, so as the weak foundation could break the house, noting will end up with anticipated success, instead, stack of new problems will add to the loaded of unsolved puzzles.

Muslims may not have had a dansala before like the Imthiyas brothers did at Swarna Road, but as Muslims living in Sri Lanka we have always contributed to the Dansalas in the neighborhood. Any Dansala organiser in a Muslim neighborhood would vouch for this. I suppose what Imthiyas did was an extension of this. I live in Dehiwella and I know how much my Muslim friends contributed to this. This is appreciated by our neighbour. This is not due to fear but participating in a community event.

Dear Friends,
Al-Quran is listing about to whom those charity need to be given as follows:
Charities are meant for the indigent and needy, and
those who collect and distribute them, and
those whom you wish to win over, and for redeeming slaves (and captives) and
those who are burdened with debt, and in the cause of God, and the wayfarers: So does God ordain.

You are listing about only compulsary charity. Charity is much more than that. If you give food to anybody if they are in need of or not, still it is charity if you are doin it with good intention

Very good example set by our Muslims. Though we stick to our religious beliefs, we never discriminate against others who do not share our religious views. Islam has always commanded that we respect other religions and treat non-muslims as humans created by the same Creator as ours. I do hope more prosperous Muslim Sri Lankans will come forward with acts of this sort to strengthen and solidify the strong bonds between the Sinhalese and Muslims that have existed for such a long time despite the minor setbacks from time to time. Reminds me of Saradiel and his muslim aide Mammalay Marikkar of Utuwankanda fame. Personally, being a Muslim Im proud to say that most of my friends in Lanka are Sinhalese, whether at College, University or even in my many places of work. I cannot fathom why but I tend to relate much better with them than with my own compatriots even though we are from different religions. We even address one another as Machang and I hope this camaraderie persists whatever the external tensions created by extremist forces on both sides. Happy Vesak to our Machangs on the other side.

“I do hope more prosperous Muslim Sri Lankans will come forward with acts of this sort to strengthen and solidify the strong bonds between the Sinhalese and Muslims that have existed for such a long time despite the minor setbacks from time to time.”
I do wish we present Sinhalese also reciprocate the same way to solidify the bonds. It has to be a mutual effort. Unfortunately, I asked my Muslim friends whether they have similar events like Vesak Dansala – they do not have it, so we need to find occasions to show our solidarity.
In fact one Muslim said that it is better to look after few poor Sinhalese in the neighbourhood by giving even dry rations rather than give it to do a Dansala. According to him (it is true) at wayside Dansala’s people are forced to have food. Coming from Matara on Vesak day almost every few meters there was a dansala. Can we make attempts to divert the Dansala funds to something more sustainable or useful. Instead of wasting time on bashing other communities, lets think positively. Any constructive opinion on this.

It’s not the first time, a dansala was given with Muslim contribution. It’s been happenning for years (if not decades!). But it’s definitely the first time people are arguing about it!

Chanaka / May 28, 2013
Guys and girls,
There are a lot of different views here for and against this act of giving by Muslims. I for one think this is an extraordinary act, at a time when people in Sri Lanka have found another reason to divide themselves. I am a Buddhist through and through and so were my parents and grandparents and their parents. But I have many Muslim friends too, who I have known for many years. There has never been any doubt in my mind of their sincerity to me or my family. I have friends from other faiths also and I can say the same about them as well. But as we all know in every society, in every faith you will get bad elements. In my opinion, BBS is one of them. We will never achieve peace and prosperity as a nation if we are divided by race, cast and religion. We should all just be Sri Lankan. BBS made so much noise about the Halal issue, and somehow got the Muslim clerics to agree to their (BBS) terms. I am sure they agreed only because these Muslim clerics themselves were making money on the halal certificates, which, most of the rest of the Muslim community did not like. Otherwise if these clerics were true to their faith, they would never have agreed. I live in a Muslim country now due to my work, and I know firsthand how charitable most of these people are. In this country the rulers lead by example doing their best for their citizens and also being fair to all us foreigners who live here.
If BBS is a true Buddhist organization, which has been set up to fight social ills, such as gambling, drug trafficking, prostitution and a host of others that plague our country (including corrupt politicians) I am all for it. I will even become a member of it. But is this is an organization created by some ignorant idiots to further their own ambitions, then we should resist it whole heartedly. I have listened to some of their speeches and it shames me to see people who have made it their life’s ambition to spread the word of Lord Buddha, instead spread hate. This is totally unacceptable to say the least. So please whatever religion you maybe, whatever cast you are from, it doesn’t matter. Let’s just all get together and build a livable prosperous place for all our children to live in peace. After all we are all Sri Lankan.

Chanaka
thank you. In the last 30 years since I moved to where I live as the only Muslim I have contributed to the Dhansala in the area in my small way. The priest visits my home with the organizers and I lay a white cloth for him before he is seated.
He calls me “mahathaya” and I call him ” ape hamuduruwane”. I don’t think it has ever occurred to him that this is Muslim money and as Lester would have us believe, cheated from Sinhalese.
There are wonderful people and among the one Sha or Lester would do to undo all the good
Please don’t think I am crowing about something I wish others ought not know but I am saying this to say I see more racists of FB/CT than in real life

Safa / May 28, 2013
I too contributed for a dansala. Most people like to live together as a nation. It is just a few bad eggs who spew out this type of racial hatred. I dont think we smell that bad as we have to wash five times a day for prayers as well as take optional and obligatory bathes as cleanliness is given a very high priority in Islam. Application of perfume is reccomended. Maybe the smell is present in the minds of some people?
“Truly, God loves those who turn unto Him in repentance and loves those who purify themselves.” (Quran 2:222)
“O you who believe! When you intend to offer the prayer, wash your faces and your hands (forearms) up to the elbows, wipe your heads, and (wash) your feet up to the ankles. If you are in a state of Janaba (i.e. had a sexual discharge) purify yourself.” (Quran 5:6)
“The key to the prayer (salah) is cleanliness, its beginning is takbir (saying Allahu Akbar) and its ending is salam (salutation).” (Abu Dawud, Taharah, 31: Tirmidhi, Taharah, 39
“You are soon going to meet your brothers, so tidy your saddles and clothes. Be distinguished in the eyes of the people.” [Abu Dawud]
“Had I not been afraid of overburdening my community, I would have ordered them to brush their teeth for every prayer.” [Bukhari]
Aisha (Radiyallahu ta’ala ‘anha) narrates that: I used to perfume Allah’s Messenger (Sallalahu ‘alahi wasallam) with the best scent available till I saw the shine of scent on his head and beard.(Bukhari)

Lester / May 29, 2013
Why don’t you quote the verses about war, slavery, and jizya? And tell the readers why Muslims can give zakat only to other Muslims.
Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya, a great scholar and Islamic historian says in his book “Zad al-Ma’ad”, part 1, p160:
“Muhammad had many male and female slaves. He used to buy and sell them, but he purchased more slaves then he sold. He once sold one black slave for two. His purchases of slaves were more than he sold.”
/
ahmad / May 29, 2013
What you conveniently missed out is that Prophet Muhammed was the first ruler in the history of the world to abolish slavery.
He used buy more slaves and free them. He made freeing of slaves an act of good – take for example Bilal the first black man to accept his message

Are you trying to say that Muhammed only bought slaves to free them? Do you think anyone is going to believe such rubbish? :)
Many slave owners, before they died, freed their slaves. That does not erase the fact that they owned slaves.
That does not erase the fact that Muhammed owned thousands of slaves during his lifetime.
Obviously, Muhammed believed slavery is okay
What kind of “messenger of God” will own slaves?
Religion of peace or comedy?
/
Lester / May 29, 2013
Also, Muhammed DID NOT abolish slavery. In fact, slavery was not abolished in Saudi Arabia till 1962.
To correct my last post: Muhammed did not own thousands of slaves. According to Wikipedia, the number is 34.

Jamal / May 29, 2013
CT READERS PLEASE NOTE:
Slavery was practised from time immemorial ! None of the Bibilical prophets stopped the practice as it was part of their customs and heritage. It was practised in Europe and the US well into the twentieth century. @Lester seems to have forgotten his bestial origins and is portraying all of us as fools! How on earth can we judge a society of 1400 years ago by today’s customs. Even today’s practises probably may be considered archaic by jester Lester’s progeny in another 1000 years. As for the number of slaves the Prophet retained four ( including his wife Mariam the Copt). The rest were all freed. In fact one was referred to as his adopted son.
The jester Lester also keeps referring to the ‘ Kill ‘ verses conveniently omitting the war context. In a war scenario, one does not expect the forces to preach Bana but to egg the troops to fight and be victorious? What about the concomitant verses warning not to transgress the rules of war? Not to kill women, children and old folk? What about the verses encouraging CHARITY, FORGIVENESS, MERCY, KINDNESS, MANUMISSION OF SLAVES ETC ETC in normal times?
I think it is time that CT Filter the vile distortions of this psychopath, whose sole aim is to whip up Buddhist sentiments against the Muslims to ethnically cleanse Sri Lanka from Muslim presence!
/
Lester / May 29, 2013
Slavery was practiced in Jesus’ time, but Jesus did not own slavery.
Slavery was practiced in Buddha’s time, but Buddha did not willingly own any slaves.
Slavery was practiced in Guru Nanak’s time, but Guru Nanak did not own slaves.
Slavery was practiced in Muhammed’s time; Muhammed willingly owned 50 slaves. He took slaves after winning battles. He bought slaves from the public market. He owned slaves till the day of his death. He even married some of his female slaves.
CHARITY, FORGIVENESS, MERCY, KINDNESS… slaughtering hundreds of unarmed Jews in the market, and calling Jews apes and pigs. Yes, a religion of peace!

Jamal / May 29, 2013
Ayatullah Lester has enunciated a new Fatwa on zakat.
Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya, a great scholar and Islamic historian says in his book “Zad al-Ma’ad”, part 1, p160:
I have the book referred to and in vol 1 p 160 I do not find the sentences quoted above. It is only a part of the subject the “Prophets wives.”. Perhaps he readable distorted Pali version.
Jiziyya was a poll tax paid by the non-muslims to the state. Remember the Muslims also paid the Zakat. These levies were extracted from only those who were able to pay (i.e the poor were exempt.). In return the non-muslims were entitled to protection in the event of war. The non-muslims were not required to fight for their protection as this was the responsibility of the Muslims in exchange for payment of the jizya. The Muslims did not enjoy this waver. It is a recorded fact that the Prophet (S) made no distinction between Muslim and non-Muslim and he helped many JEWS out of ZAKAT funds collected from only MUSLIM sources.
Islamaphobe Lester’s HATRED & MALICE to the Muslims & DISTORTION OF TRUTH will never end till the tumor in his brains does us all a favour.

Lester / May 29, 2013
. It is a recorded fact that the Prophet (S) made no distinction between Muslim and non-Muslim and he helped many JEWS out of ZAKAT funds collected from only MUSLIM sources.
Verses 2:63-65, 5:59-60, and 7:166 in Quran tell us what Muhammed thought about Jews. In 2:63-65, Muhammed calls Sabbath-breaking Jews apes. In 7:166, Jews are again called apes. In 5:59 – 60, Allah turns Jews into apes and pigs:
Say, “Shall I inform you of [what is] worse than that as penalty from Allah ? [It is that of] those whom Allah has cursed and with whom He became angry and made of them apes and pigs and slaves of Taghut. Those are worse in position and further astray from the sound way.”
http://quran.com/5
I have given the link, in case Jamal has torn this page from his Quran, as well.
We should not forget the execution of 400 – 900 Jews at Banu Qurazaya, on the orders of Muhammed:
“The Apostle of Allah…. passed an order: He who is subjected to razors (i.e. the male) should be killed, women and children should be enslaved and property should be distributed… Then he commanded them to be brought into al-Madinah where ditches were dug in the market. The Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, sat with his Companions and they were brought in small groups. Their heads were struck off.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banu_Qurayza
Now let me address the final issue, zakat. It is forbidden to Muslims to give zakat to non-Muslims:
“There is scholarly consensus (ijma`) that zakat cannot be given to non-Muslims, as mentioned by Ibn al-Mundhir, Kasani, Ibn Qudama, Buhuti, and others.
Muwaffaq Ibn Qudama, a great Hanbali Imam, says in his Mughni:
We do not know of any difference of opinion among the people of knowledge (ahl al-`ilm) that zakat on wealth cannot be given to a kafir. Ibn al-Mundhir said, There is consensus of all those whose positions we know from the people of knowledge that a non-Muslim (dhimmi) cannot be given any zakat.”
http://qa.sunnipath.com/issue_view.asp?HD=1&ID=1527&CATE=5
I have quoted from a Muslim website, which readers may verify for themselves.
/
DODU / May 29, 2013
SOB, Lester), ZAKATH IS only for Muslims. It is a charity for needy Muslims by Muslims.
SOB, there is another charity called Sadaka in Islam which can be given to non-Muslims as well and there is no maximum limit for it. One can give whatever amount he wish.
Buddha says in Nirwana chapters 5, 19, 22…..
Killing a Brahmin is not a sin! Killing an ant is sin! So kill as much as Brahmins!
Killing is an act of Charity!
Those who Kills an infidel will not suffer from Kermic returns!
Putting unbelievers to death carries no Sin or Kermic returns!
“How can one kill another when…… all is emptiness” by this Buddha justifies killing. Kill anyone, anything and everything because emptiness is the fact. So, Buddhists were killing and are killing the end result is emptiness.
So, simply we can call Buddha empty Buddha!
/
Lester / May 29, 2013
Zakat is an obligation, sadaqah is voluntary. In other words, Muslims are obligated to help other Muslims, but not to help non-Muslims. And if Muslims ruled the world, all the infidels would have to pay jizya until they converted to Islam, or be killed.
What kind of religion practices selective charity? Only the religion of comedy!
/
DODU / May 30, 2013
SOB Lester, there is nothing wrong in Muslims give Zakth to Mulims and also Muslims, if prefer, give Sadaka to non- Mulims! It is the rule of a religion. Muslims will follow it forever. Islam says first look at yourself, then neighbors. This apply to all relevant sections, let it be a single man, family, religion and neighbors! You like it take it. Otherwise, go away and eat shit. Mulims will never eat pig even it become the law of this country! That is Islam! and that is why the followers are called Muslims! Islamic practices cannot be changed just for an individual, idiot like you comments here. You can cry, commit sucide, run with your whole family in nude or set fire to this whole world. Islamic rules will never, ever change, Zakat, Sadaka and jizya will remain the same forever!
I am asking you a simple question until recently you brothers were keeping one wife! One brother hangs his Amude on the door to signal that the other brother is with the women in the room! What kind of religious practice is this?
/
Lester / May 30, 2013
@ Dodu,
Every Muslim must help other Muslims (zakat) but helping non-Muslims is optional. This is selective charity. When you go to an ashram in India for rest, they do not ask your religion. Mother Theresa, a Catholic, saved thousands of Hindus in the slums of India.
Selective charity only proves that Islam is backwards . No wonder Muslims cause problems all over the world.

lobster, it is good that you said, you stayed in a Ashram in India! Now I can imagine why did you travel in Three Wheelers!
Why Buddha did not allow one to marry his own sister or mother? In fact they are also women! This is what selective is.
In Islam Charity is with a purpose. First to yourself then to neighbors!
Zakat is not only prohibited to non-believers it is also prohibited to the Prophet’s family and to descendants. This practice is followed all over the world and it is the rule of Islam. it is not Sri Lanka’s constitution to change whenever you need! This is with a purpose, that it should only go to poor Muslims. Sadaka is common to all Mulims, non-Mulims and the descendants of Prophet’s family. For Zakath there is a limit 2.5% . Sadaka can be any amount.
Rule of Islam cannot be changed just as you wish. To Islam you are just a Dog looking at a huge mountain and barking!

Not only ZAKAT,take the whole package.DAILY FIVE TIME
PRAYERS,FASTING AND HAJ.You can do all these and claim
benefit of Zakat.Fasting is prescribed not to feel only
about Muslims.Muslims are taught to take suffering as
part of the life and some relief offered to the weaker
ones.Are you being asked to pray or fast?If not why
worry only about Zakat? “Muhammad was without a Palace,
without bodyguards” and without servants.Read Heroes and

Jayantha,
Tashkent (AsiaNews/F18) – The Uzbek authorities have sentenced a Protestant Christian in Urgench, in the northwest of the country to 18 months of “corrective labor”, charged with “illegal production, storage, importation or distribution of religious materials.” The judge Makhmud Makhmudov ruled that the woman should carry out menial jobs at the complete service of the state, while a good part of her salary be handed over as payment of a fine. In addition, for the next few months she can only travel within the state.
Muhammad hated Christians and Jews so much he banned them going near Mecca. Yet Christians, Jews and polytheists lived together in Mecca happily before Muhammad destroyed idols of Meccans. After the battle of Badr in 624AD all that religious toleration disappeared from Mecca.
This history and hate prescription is clearly described and prescribed in the Quran, Hadith and Sira. What more to say of Muslims egalitarianism that AYMAN, whywhy, ahmad and et al is talking about if Muslims do not allow Christians like Jayantha go near Mecca.
Jayantha is blind for obvious and visible Muslim hate against Christians, Jews and unbelievers for he hates Buddhists beyond imagine. A bequeath to his lot by Portuguese. Thanks for people like Father Mercelene Jayakody, most Christians have overcome that virus.

Why Buddha being a Hindu Changed his faith?
