Government blocked social media following a series of attacks on Mosques and Muslim-owned properties by unified mobs.
Six mosques have been targeted in a string of violent attacks overnight and into the morning.
“3 mosques, 1 jumma mosque and 2 small mosques were attacked and pillaged in Kiniyama, Bingiriya in Kurunegala District while curfew was in place this early morning 13.05.2019, President’s Counsel Mohamed Ali Sabry wrote on his Facebook.
Ali Sabry who is vocal against radical Islamists wrote:
“This is how a Muslim has seen this ?
?curfew -> STF protection-> Destroying a particular group’s properties-> some time power cuts as well.
?Great security authorities who defeated two terrorisms become just spectators front of the Mobs with stones.
?Same mobs move to adjacent towns as well.
We have seen the same drama in Alutgama, Gintota and Digana as well. Unfortunately the powers given by emergency state is enough only to shoot a driver who doesn’t stop at the checkpoint.
Victims are to be arrested not the mobs.”
“This is getting out of hand. Enough racism. It’s not going to solve the issues but further escalate it,” he further wrote.
Meanwhile Police curfew has been imposed in the Kuliyapitiya, Bingiriya, Dummalasuriya and Hettipola Police Divisions as of 2pm today till 4am tomorrow.

Any Muslim who supported, or supports, the criminals who killed many innocent people, including Muslims, should ask themselves if they have the brains, if they are now satisfied what the stupidity of their terrorists brothers have resulted in. Innocent Muslims are living in fear, homes attacked, Mosques attacked, and all businesses affected. The consequences of their violent crime have affected all. The country suffers, and they suffer too. All Sri Lankans must learn to live together in peace, or there will never be any progress or prosperity as a nation.

Chitra / May 13, 2019
Good point. The marauding mobs have shown nothing but stupidity reacting to false rumors, and stories, which has gone on for years. How many ridiculous stories of “gullies” in the food, and sweets to make the Sinhalese women barren, which have led to attacks on places of worship, businesses, and homes? There are (deliberate) false rumors swirling around, and it is all to provoke these brainless mobs, to attack innocent people, and get some kick out of scaring them. We have seen this mob violence throughout our history, and it is ugly every time.

Very sad to say, right at the moment, we are caught by following wars within the country
.
1)Media Mafia
Visual Media (TV channels) have been abusing the nation as no times in the past. We thought the being given more liberties could create a revolution in the line of people’s awareness on the ongoing politics.
:
Instead, sad to say, lanken people are now caught by TV channel news items, which contain only BIASED news telecasts, regardless of the dangerous contents. They dont care about anything BUT they work for a race of their RATEs.
Day by day, they make every effort to stand out their fellow channels
.
Derana TV – please study yourself, not about news for people, but these media institution spend lot more time promoting RAJAPKSHE politics. As if it sounds tobe very much Pro-Rajakshes. They dont care about the impact of news telecasts. You please STUDY also focusing on the TIMES give for those pro Rjaapkashes news.
.
Hiru TV. These men are even more dangerous. They absolutely have nothing but to support Rjaakshes – for one single reason, if only Rajaakshes are back, TV sender Owners brother – convicted multi murderer/drug kin pin Kudu Dumina would be set free from PRISON
And this sender would do anything to paint GOTABAYA as the only saviour to lankens.
.
Sirsasa TV:
These men are doing it in a fine manner, but they ve been abusing it to the core. They are very anti RANIL WICKRAMASINGHE.
We dont care anyone woudl do some sorta of anti govt, but they should not be biased to any politicians the way SIRISA has been abusing it.
:
SIRISENA as president srilanka has been manipulated by SIRSENA maharaja people, having gotten numbers of frequanecies illegally… that is the main reason them to only work for president.

Chitra,
The Muslims tolerated the Wahhab Salafirs and clones, amongst them, and let the Wahhabi Salafies, who according to the Hadith of Najd, follow Satan, to attack the Sufi and Shia Muslim Mosques, based on Wahhabi Salafi Satanic Ideology.
The Wahhabi Salafis got funding from Saudi Arabia, who get the Support from the West. In the meantime, the Saudi Wahhabies attack the Muslims in Yemen, because they are Shia.
Hadith of Najd
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadith_of_Najd
Indeed, the Saudi Wahhabi Salafies follow the Satan, Iblis.
It is time to ban the use of loudspeakers, that call to prayer, and distract the neighborhood with noise pollution 5 times a day. Let the Muslims but inexpensive Chinese made digital watches, wear on their wrists or wear on their necks, all based on innovations and inventions of the Kuffar, whom the Wahhabi Salafis want to kill.
It took a few million years for the primate common ancestor to produce Homo sapiens. However, it took only 260 years for the Satan following Wahhabi Salafis to produce terrorists in the Land of Native Veddah Aethho.

I think the media to be blamed.
:
Almost every house hold you may find SWODES and lengthy knifes. But media made it out of a story and narrated a story to increase their rates.
:
Anyways, lanken police and the responsible authorities should recheck those news and be piunished those who spread lies inflicting attacks on the muslims.
:
I dont think many muslims living in the country would support Wahabists ?.. Many Sinhalaya never supported soutern terrorists in late 80ties. So are the christians regarding their fanatic adhrerents.
All in all, just because the fabricated news items which are spread in lanken air, we should not let people to fall from the frying fan to hearth.
.
Enough is enough 30 long years, we suffered, regardless of our race, religion or what ever other barriers we have inherited down there. Now again, letting lanken extremists and their thoughts be dominated in the country, and pave the way them to ruin this nation, we would not achieve much towards the progress of the nation.
:
WE SHOULD BANN ALL THE PRIVATE CHANNELS AND THEIR ABUSIVE TELECASTs regarding terror.
:
DERANA, HIRU and SIRASA have been abusing it to the core today, none of them seem tobe thinking about the ANXITIES of the people. If these 3 channels ever thought about the GRAVITY of problems that the rank and file would face – they could educate both ABUSIVE POLITICIANS and THEIR SLAVEs in this rotten island.

Can we as an another hungry nation, boycott MIDDLE east (muslims as a whole) ? I am also an another buddhist who has become buddhist by birth. Over 99.99999999% of lankens become buddhists that way. But almost over 80% would not abide by buddhist guidelines. They war pirithnule to please their masters. They are used to say ” budusaranayi” even if they would join their contract killers or drug traffickers on their way to do the job. Politicians go and kneel down before MAHA BODHIYA, unless they would not have been held as POWERFUL buddhists, as a method of cheating the votes of the masses:

Mahanayakas sing the very same song, not changing their tones, but seem happening nothing palpably towards the benefit of the masses and law-bound society building.

“So would you mind be elaborating us also with the respective meanings of the followings.”
1, 2 and 3 above fall into more or less the same category as Wahhabism-Salafism.
Each category more less has the same ideology and self-interest, and we all know what it is.
Just go to lankaenews web site and read about the Rajapaksa cabaral.
Who is Abu Bakr Al Bagdadi ? Can the Medamulana bastard who nurtured terrorism and the Royal gay boys can save the country..?

@Chitra, are you being silly or purposely being stupid.

I can tell you one thing for sure..Jealousy can only lead to more and more destruction and it can never bring prosperity to you by demolishing your fellow Citizens lives. What these thugs are destroying is not the wealth of a community but the wealth of the entire country and the future lives of their children as well.

May be it is a good idea to divide the island into 3 parts – Sinhala only part, Muslim only parts and Tamil only parts based on their population percentage.
Sorry Lankans, you have always shown that you simply cannot live under one flag. Just impossible.
Accept that it is a failed marriage. Each ethnic group has found extra marital partners as well (not local ones). Muslims have Arabs, Tamils have South Indians and Sinhalas have the Chinese.
Project SL failed.
Stop the bloodshed. Divide the island into 3 mono ethnic nations..
/
Lanka Perera / May 13, 2019
There is no Muslim only part. In eastern province, every Muslim village or town is surrounded by Tamil village or town. Only way Muslims can get their own exclusive land is to commit ethnic cleansing of Tamils in coastal Ampara district. But what will happen if ethnic cleansing of Muslims from coastal Ampara district is resorted to by Sinhalese. If Muslims try to claim an inch from Sinhala areas., that will be their end.
/
GATAM / May 14, 2019
Muslims are the majority in Trinco and Ampara districts. Tamils are the smallest ethnic group there. Relocating them to Batticaloa can be done. But if Tamils and Muslims agree between them, they can live in the north and east together. Sharia law can be the national law there. Sinhalese should be relocated out of the north and east and Tamils and Muslims should be relocated out of all Sinhala majority provinces including western and central provinces.
Until ethnic groups are separated out trouble will continue and all people will live in fear. Riots will be regular. Mind you UNP is in power. UNP is far more peaceful than the others. Still there are riots. What would have happened if MaRa was in power is unthinkable.
Save human lives, divide the island into 3 mono ethnic parts.
Shame on all Sri Lankans. You have proven that you cannot live together peacefully, time and time again. At least agree to an amicable separation now without being part of the problem.
What is more valuable – keeping failed state SL as one nation or saving human lives?
/
Siva Sankaran Sharma / May 14, 2019
Tamils are indigenous to the east and the real owners. Muslims and Sinhalese are not. The former y came to the east as refugees a few centuries ago fleeing Portuguese and Sinhalese persecution . The later were deliberately settled by all Sri Lankan governments since independence on state and ethnically cleansed Tamil lands in the east , to deliberately change the demography and marginalise the Tamils in the east. Most Sinhalese arrived in the east only within the last 30-40 years and therefore have no claim to the east. If you take of the Sinhalese majority Amparai, and Gomarankadawela areas from the east and join them with the adjoining Sinhalese majority areas. The Tamils will become the majority in the east. This was once proposed , the Sinhalese were agrreable but the Muslims objected , as they want to steal the east from its rightful Tamil owners, Tamils are still the largest population in the east and not the smallest minority in the Trincomallee district but second largest , however if all the refugees from India return , will be the largest. Muslims are confined largely to the Mutur area , whereas the Tamils hold large swathes of land along the coast. A Muslim home land along coastal Amparai surrounded by Tamil villages and then in a small pocket along Mutur will never be feasible , as it will be surrounded entirely by Hindu Tamil villages and the huge Tamil Hindu majority district of Batticaloa , the eastern heartland will separate them. Best safeguard for the Muslims will be to renounce their Wahhabi/ fake Arab heritage , acknowledge their actual Tamil origin and live amicably with the Tamils , with whom they share a common language and ethnicity. Both people will benefit immensely

CT and Muslims,
“Religion is the opium of the masses,”, said Philosopher (lover of wisdom) Karl Marx.
This is the price Muslims pay when they allowed Wahhabi Salafism and it’s clones, ISIS, Tauheed Jamats flourish, and produce extremists within their community, and let them call themselves Muslims, instead of Satanis and Iblisis, and attack fellow citizens and the guests, the tourists, by following the Devil, Satan, Iblis, per the prescient Hadith of Najd.
Remember, 1983, Aluthgama etc., the state just looked on. This was a great opportunity for anti Muslim Elements to attack.
The mobs can not distinguish between Satatan following Wahhabi Salafies and other normal Muslims . Muslims can. All they have to do is read the Hadith of Najd.
The state would not do much even with sufficient warnings. There is no law and order. Even the President violated the law and constitution and nothing happens.So, the extremists are free to roam attack anybody.
They are also paying the price for accepting the alien Arab culture and separating themselves compared to what was the case in the 1980s. The Ulama encouraged the women to discard the Saree and Salvar Kameez and put on the Black Abaya, and other alien clothing.
While one has the freedom to wear anything, wearing clothing that is alien to a culture, and commuting Terrorism, in the name of that culture and Terrorism is uncalled for.
Hadith of Najd Najd is in Saudi Arabia, Riyadh, the Wahhabi Salafies come from.

The Rajapakses turned a blind eye to the mushrooming of hundreds of mosques and Madrassas. They gave permission for hundreds of foreign ‘teachers’ to enter the country. They and their Muslim ministers allowed the Batticaloa ‘university’ to be built.
And Sirisena and Ranil? Well while trying to blame the Rajapakses for everything, they let the situation get worse under their Muslim ministers for four years.

If the State does not protect the victims, what will be the result? Anarchy, one form of it is terrorism.

They will smirk, and shirk their responsibility to stand up and condemn these dastardly acts that bring further shame upon our nation. And the Police do have a penchant for dragging their feet and getting their fumbling, slippery fingers into action. Somebody has to answer and take responsibility for all of this.

Cowards in uniform did the same during the war. Hundreds of temples were damaged/destroyed, chariots burned, clergy attacked, and even killed during the war.
During July 1983 riots, the Poosari at
Panadura temple was burned alive inside the temple.

The vicious cycle has just begun. The people who are behind the Easter tragedy did not do it for the sake of Lankan Muslims. All they were looking was a soft target and not any help or support from the community. From the statements released it is obvious Lankan Muslims or any of their causes are not the reasons. (Even if Lanka was a Muslim dominant country, still it would been a soft target for ISIS). But what we see as retaliations are organized,coordinated attacks with a hidden purpose behind it. Otherwise why would the security be spectators until the attacks are over to take any preventive action (if at all). The cycle will continue until elections because there are is nothing else worth to to debate, discuss or present to our public.

They will never ask for Eelam or run a government in exile regardless of these mob attacks. They will not go to Geneva against their brethren and will not seek fake asylums as you lot did. Sri Lanka is their land and they will live there to rebuild the country and die there regardless of whats happening now.

Sri Lankan Muslims neither have Arab fathers or Sinhala Mothers. They were Tamil speaking Malabars of South India who came as Spice traders along with their Malabar wives. None can dispute the fact that Tamil speaking Muslims (Marakkala Minissu or Sonahar) of Ceylon are descendants of Malabar Hindus who embraced Islam in the latter part of the century when Kerala was under Muslim rule. It is wrongly believed in Sri Lanka that the Sri Lankan Muslims (Moors) descend from Moorish Arab merchants who married native (Sinhalese & Tamil) wives after having them converted to Islam. The fact is, bulk of the ‘Moors’ in Sri Lanka, as it has been amply demonstrated again and again, are not Moorish Arab Merchants but Tamil/Malabar speaking Sonakar/Marakkalar who came from South India. If they had come to Sri Lanka direct from Arab countries and married to Sinhalese women, today their descendants (Sri Lanka Moors) should be speaking Arabic or Sinhala as their mother tongue but throughout the island even today their mother tongue is Malabarish Tamil.

@ Adamuk
your name indicates you belong to head chopping sect.
1-If Mususlim here are offspring of Sinhala mothers WHY THE HELL THEY SPEAK TAMIL AT HOME?
2-By killing innocent foreign tourists your devoted Mususlim put an end to Tourism in this cursed Island,they love your country eh?
3-Since 1983 SL Mususlim are asking refugee in many countries ..marry porc eating western women for residency permit when asylum application rejected.
4.Why your Mususlim Bruders support Pakistan when there is a SL-Paki cricket match
patriotism ?
5. Soon these jokers will cry about Human right abuse and the whole world will laugh.
6.Mususlim bruders now want to make this SL as a Isulamic country ready ?
7.Why on earth these Mususlim terrorists keep swords made by porc eating Chinese,bomb-making stuff and equipment at Mosque any explanation.
8.By supporting the most hated ISIS well known for raping and killing these jokers have dug their own grave
Now your bruders are reaping the harvest for what they have done to N-E Tamils with SL
Sinhala cardboard forces.
Pity even their Imaginary Allah is unable to help them.
No Big Mouth Kadafi, Saddam or Osama Bin Laden to support these jokers .
FYI THERE WAS NO MUSULIMS IN NORTH EAST 300 YEARS AGO .
Cheers

“Mususlim bruders want to make this SL, as a Islamic country ready?”
Are the MaRa Brotherhood Mafia in anyway facilitating the process?

Muslim Thulkka even now trying to lick Chingkalla a-se and tell lies and spread anti Thamil venom. You Thullukans with the help of the Sri Lankan armed forces and Chingkalla government’s blessings were busy destroying Hindu temples in the east in the name of Islam and Arabism and building shopping centres and beef stalls. Your Thulluka extremist governor for the east was openly caught on video boasting about this. Yet he was not punished or sacked for this terrorist behaviour and sacrilege of deliberately stealing lands from an ancient Hindu temple and opening a beef slaughter house, on this sacred land, leave the shopping centre. I Am a Christian but a Thamizh and feel this sacrilege and deliberate desecration of what happened to the temple land. You fake Arab low caste Thullkan immigrants from South India , were supporting this extremist and the other Shaitan from Mannar and abusing any Thamizh who stated the truth. You are not descended from Arab traders or Chingkallams or anyone . You Sri Lankan Muslims are largely descended from low caste Hindu Thamizh converts to Islam and originated from ancient Thamizh Malabar and southern Thamizh Nadu and migrated here a few centuries ago. You are low caste Dravidians, if there is any Arab it is very little and this took place in Southern India and not in the island. Stop lying . Even now full of hatred for you actual Thamizh origin and Thamizh and worship Arab, Chingkallams and lie. How do expect us Thamizh to feel sorry for you Thullukans , as we know you are a snake in the grass.

I think the Tamil word ‘Thulukan’ originates from the time Turkey was a Caliphate to describe Muslims.
What do you think?
Do you know how Mustapa Kamal aka Attaturk wisely got rid of the burka on taking control of Turkey after the collapse of the Caliphate following the First World War.
He decreed one day “ from tomorrow only prostitutes may wear burkas”.
Next day all Muslim women stopped wearing it, and Turkey became a secular state.

Yes this is why lots Sri Lankan Muslims run to the west and claim asylum stating they are ethnic Tamils fleeing Sinhalese persecution. Tamil when it suits them but anti Tamil at all other times. Why don’t you go and claim asylum there stating that you are Sri Lankan Muslim descended from Arab traders and Sinhalese harlots and see the reaction. Descended from Arab traders and Sinhalese women! Go and tell these fairy tales to some idiot. 99% of the Sri Lankan Muslims are descended from largely low caste Tamil Dravidian Hindu converts to Islam . Their original homeland is South India Malabar , now part of Kerala and Southern Tamil Nadu. The Arab blood in them is very minimal and confined to a few families. They migrated to the island a few centuries ago , as refugees fleeing Hindu persecution or came here to trade . This is the truth. Do not lie . Yes you low caste fake Arab converted backstabbers , especially the Muslim home guards in the east , played a key role with the Sinhalese and Sinhalese racists in destroying the Eelam dream , in the name of Islam , your fake Arab origin , that everyone knows is a lie and your backstabbing and are now paying the price for your lies , backstabbing and treachery . Do not expect the Tamils to feel sad or sympathetic to you backstabbers, as even when you bombed the Christian churches , you deliberately targeted the Tamil Christians.

Not more than 250 lives but more than 700 lives were destroyed.
What is this?

Our Kings Kotte era or Kandyan era never allow Islamic Mosques to be built in this Land. Even Muslims traders were not allowed. Unfortunately due to events taken place in south India our kings had to allowed Muslims refugees here. That was in temporally basis but arrival of Europeans like Portuguese Muslims marine traders who promised to take refugees to East Indies had to desert our shores leaving big burden in our land but our wise kings had it under control but British made situation worse recognizing Muslims as local lot and more additions done allowing tamilnadu Muslims to come here & work in their estate or plantation sector.Dutch did same mistake getting Javanese & Malays as their slaves. Mrs. B solved south Indian Muslims issue British created but her colleque Kolvin R de Silva worsen Islamic Issue recognizing Islam as one of state religion in 1972. Since then our politicians use Muslims as Sakka gal or support columns in parliament to stay in power.. Those mistakes made Muslims Community important part of our political culture & enjoyed lot of facilities. That is the cause of these behavior of Muslims. That should be reversed soon. Otherwise country will be in big trouble.

Eye for an eye will make the whole world blind !
Hurting or killing an innocent does not equate / repay the loss of another !!
Only bringing more people into misery and anguish !!
You are not going to be a good human / parent if you propagates negative thoughts !
I’m sure you have love and empathy to any living being !
Be the beacon of light to share good things in life

When you see the cross section of the comments !
The guy who killed his own mother ! Half the world will say he is right !
That is the beast in humans and I’m telling no individual wants to hurt another unless he is insane or intoxicated !
These are gangs that are supported and patronized to achieve objectives which are sinister !
