What are these ugly attacks on religious places, and homes? What have we become? A land for religious and communal wars? Isn’t it time the so called President of this country, and his family, who hold high offices, spoke out against such incidents. This is sheer provocation and the beginning of perhaps race riots and tensions. Haven’t we Sri Lankans had enough of this? Who is responsible for maintaining peace in the country, holding guilty parties accountable, and the safety of ALL citizens? Why are they so disgustingly quiet when these ugly incidents occur? If the present regime does not nip things in the bud, we are all going to suffer the consequences.

After the war, Sinhala triumphalism and the impunity with which the Rajapaksa regime has conducted itself has given rise to this type of communal violence against the minorities. The country is in for more and more communal conflict and instability. See where the regime is taking the country to.

yes, this is absolutely sad. Muslim fundamentalism will now be encuraged just as much as Tamil fundamentalism was encouraged by the ’83 riots. We are down that same raod once again.

Arrogant singhala Buddhist thinking an extra backbone has grown to themselves after defeating LTTE, they think they can wipe out the minorities, sometimes they challenge India & America too, utter ignorant fools living in fools paradise.

this is a conflict between tamils and resettling muslims, thats why this anti sinhala and anti buddhist site is hiding the background and the context behind this attack…if sinhalese or buddhists were behind it the headline would have highlight that fact as usual..

This is Sinhala-Buddhist way of practising ‘May All Beings Be Happy’ except Hindus, Muslims and Christains

billy / August 14, 2012
im sure Cyril would have been happy buddhist were observing sill rather than standing against the tamil racism and terrorism!
/
cyril / August 14, 2012
Well, billy, they do observe ‘sil’ and commit ‘sin’ as well. These are two sides of the Sinhala-Buddhist coin like they say, ‘there is both ‘pin’ and ‘pau’ in the world so they embody them both.

BUDDHISTS, SHOULD BY NOW HAVE LEARNT A LESSON.UNFAIR TREATMENT OF TAMILS
AND CRIMES COMMITTED AGAINST THEM FROM 1956-83 GAVE RISE TO MILITANCY AND A PRABAKHARAN,THE WAR THAT FOLLOWED AND NUMBER OF LIVES LOST.
THERE ARE VESTED INTERESTS WHO BENEFIT FROM WAR LIKE ARMS DEALERS.
IT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE NOW TARGETING MUSLIMS.
THE GOVERNMENT WHICH IS GETTING UNPOPULAR, IS DOING THIS TO DIVERT THE ATTENTION OF THE SINHALA BUDDHISTS. I AM NO PROPHET OR SOOTH-SAYER,BUT
BE WARNED THAT YOU ARE “SOWING THE WIND AND WILL REAP THE WORLD WIND”
