The flagship store of the countrys largest Muslim clothing chain “NOLIMIT” Panadura is currently in flames allegedly after a mob set fire to it early this morning.
Four fire brigade trucks are currently attempting to douse the fire, but according the eye witnesses, are failing due to the sheer magnitude of the fire.
The building situated in the Panadura town is the largest clothing store in the area and the largest NOLIMIT outlet in the country.
The clothing chain was identified and repeatedly attacked by the Bodu Bala Sena in successive speeches made by its General Secretary, Galagoda Atte Gnanasara who enjoys complete immunity from the law.

sigh the media needs to stop identifying the people or the businesses that affected by their religious beliefs, they are Sri Lankan and nothing else… that is the only reason why this is a tragedy.
/
Sam / June 21, 2014
@Anushan, its not like CT first identified the business as a ‘Muslim owned’ business and then the extremists went after the business. CT is only reporting as to what is happening. No limit is ablaze because it is a Muslim owned business and the only reason for this tragedy is the racist, religious extremist mind-set of some sections of the populace. Please don’t blame the media for this!

Be little cautious, whether it is Muslim or Sinhala or Tamil, self-destroying own business for financial gains (insurance claims) is no surprise in Sri Lanka. Just last week Harcourts in Dehiwala did the same. In this case they have two birds in one stone.

Meanwhile in the parallel universe of Sinhala Modaya, Gotabaya Rajapakse had the soft opening with Buddhist flags and Bana of his latest shopping extravaganza the Independence square arcade in Colombo 7. The BEAUTIFICATION of Colombo and the triumph of Sinhala CAPITALISM in a Dutch Colonial building was apparent.
Any relationship to the torching of NO LIMIT? Destroy the Muslim Economy just as the Tamil Businesses were destroyed for SInhala Modayas to take over…
The Bana preaching at the renovated Dutch colonial arcade had the obligatroy narrative of Duttugemunu-Elara UDDA (aka Darama Udda) invasions of the land of SInhala Modayas by the Chola, Pandaya, Portugese, Lansi etc. The usual racist blur. The only people present amid heavy security were Gota and members of the Jarapassa family and MILITARY dressed in all sorts of plain cloths geer. The road was blocked off. The Irony that this how building was a Dutch construct in the first place did not figure in the Paranoid Sinhala Buddhist nationalist soft opening of the Independence Shopping arcade which should be BOYCOTTED..

Well the central building with its gable and the clock tower certainly looks Dutch, the rest of it may be British..
Or perhaps it is both Dutch and British – but the Paranoid and racist Sinhala Modayas who do not have any such building to show of their great civilization, listening to racist Bana in that colonial building did not see the irony of the situation, or the Jarapassa shit (racism) that was smeared all over their faces..

Who benefits from these attacks on Muslim cloths stores – NO limit and Fashion Bug.
Recall that HOUSE OF FASHION opening was done with the presence of all the Jarapassa brothers and the military. House of Fashion is a Sinhala Buddhist establishment and all announcements are only in Sinhala and English even though over half of Colombo population is Tamil. It has state protection.
Odel on the other hand is above racism and is Colombo 7 and Singapore owned.
The attacks on Muslims businesses has a clear logic. A petty bourgeois Sinhala Buddhist racist logic.
Gota the goon inaugurated his Independence Square colonial Dutch renovated super luxury Arcade – with the appropriate RACIST BANA and the military last night…
Meanwhile the UDA is in massive debt..
Too much Beautification of Gota’s muck for the Sinhala Modayas of Colombo?!

If SL doesnt change the regime it is SL who is going to suffer. MR has already displayed how he is unfit to govern SL.
If Islamic extremists attack sufi shrines and moderate muslims in east, gover can apply law against them ne? why has not gover done that? No one stops gov from applying law….
But the burning issue in SL right now is the buddhist terrorists the ganaya nanasara. Why cant the SL gov apply law and punish the culprits. That is exactly what sensible ppl in SL ask for?
If this gover cant punish the perpetrators who did violence and where there are video evidence how can tamils be assured of justice from this gov?
And Banda listen this very well.The ball is in sinhala side…
1. Either SL should transform as a multi cultural secular country where buddhist monks or any religious psycho cannot create havoc…to stay as one country…
2. If you want a Sinhala Buddhist country where minorities are second citizens …..then let the tamil speakers go seperate.

Such,
You have got it now. This is exactly what I have been trying to convey for a while. Unless the moderate Sinhala Buddhists rise up rescuing the country, the country will be inevitably divided. The current regime must be defeated to have any chance of a reconciliation with a truly secular constitution. Sri Lanka can remain One, and succeed; it is completely at the hands of the Sinhala Buddhists.

Yes, Mahawnsa has lies . Yes, the Sun going around the Earth is a lie. Yes, the Sinhala are Not-Para is a lie. There is evidence for the above lies.
Truth Hurts, when the believers in lies and myths find that they were wrong. Then they go berserk, like BBS and Sinhala Buddhists, and the cover up the state and BBS is trying to do, lying.
If one examines the events of the past week, one can easily identify the
1, Liars
2. The Terrorist
3. The Rioters
4. The Sponsors
Lies, whether by the Church, The Wahhabis, and Sinhala Buddhists Mahanama, or BBS is the same. When told the truth they kill and burn.
Thanks to the Internet and Social media, the State cannot lie any wore. The facts come out. See what the shameless SL UN Rep said in Geneva, She might have said the Sun Goes around the earth as well, which close to 50% Para-Sinhala believe, in the Land of Native Vedda.
The real issue is that why are the civilized Buddha Dhamma Following true Sinhalese Buddhists not stepping up to save the decadence of Buddhism. one Ven. Monk stepped up was beaten up by by BBS. Does the BBS know that the average Sinhala Buddhist is a Coward, and there are only a few brave Sinhala Buddhists to save the Dhamma?

This government has no need for intellectuals – Anura
SATURDAY, 21 JUNE 2014 07:1
All they have are Sinhala Buddhist Terrorist like BBS to stay in power and keep family hegemony and keep the cronies.
The President, who appoints fraudsters and others who have involved in various irregularities as presidential coordinating secretaries and legal advisers, has no use for intellectuals says the Leader of the JVP Anura Dissanayaka. Education is not a necessary factor to the present government when an environment is created to revere black economy he added. He said this delivering the Memorial Day address at the National Student Heroes Day commemoration held at the Public Library in Colombo yesterday (20th).
The invited address of the commemoration organized by the Socialist Students’ Union was made by the President of the Federation of University Teachers’ Associations (FUTA) Dr. Chandraguptha Thenuwara. The National Organizer of SSU Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa presided.
The government slashes allocations for education and use them for the construction of highways and hotels said Mr. Dissanayaka and added that the economic strategy of this government has become tourism.
“Crises in education are escalating. The schools are facing a very serious situation. A situation has come where parents have to pay salaries for teachers. There is an attempt to restrict education only for the privilege. This is why private universities are established. As such a struggle has to be commenced to protect free education. The student’s movement and all those who cherish education in the country have to take to the streets against the education policy of this government. Also, students should absorb university education as well as external knowledge and become complete human beings. For, the responsibility of building a new society is entrusted with you, the students,” said Mr. Dissanayaka.

He promised everyone that that he will bring the perpetrators to justice.
UN/US/OIC/EU/NAM/UNHRC/Saarc(ISI Rajapakistan)& GCC/Asian, Please note,
BBS has been given 007 license by the President of Srilanka and his cute (acute) Malli Gotabaya. NO arrests have been made yet of the instigators almost after a week.
Hitting NOLIMIT doesn’t effect the Muslims. No limit owners will not lose anything. This is bad to the image of Sri lankans, hitting at peoples Jobs and the economy.
This regime is provoking the extremist elements among the Muslims to take up arms against. Nothing but Gota’s cheap strategies.
There is only one way to stop this – Call Rajapaksa and say ‘Ban BBS, right now’!

Isn’t that what they did to Tamils?. And at that time where were the muslims?. They chose to get cosy with the government of the day to fill their political pockets. Now that the Tamils are well and truly thrashed the regime has turned its attention to the next group.
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out–
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out–
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out–
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me–and there was no one left to speak for me.

Paran ,
“And at that time where were the muslims?. They chose to get cosy with the government of the day to fill their political pockets.”
Tamils started with Non Obedience during SJV time. That ahimsa came from Gandhi. Then they went to armed fight. Now they are on the path of Diplomatic Agitations. Tamils are not following anybody. Forget about Muslims minsters. Listen to this link. Ayoop Asmin doing it again. One of his earlier interview, I have attached somewhere else on the CT.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0osRasZ3qZc
We can do the dirty translations that took place at 4th floor here. But that is not our aim here. What is he saying is “Tamils are ahead of us. We need to learn form them”. He is not making this speech to Muslim mass. This is not an speech intended, to arouse anybody. It is not arousing anybody. It is not a talk at the surface. It is a deep talk. He is taking a schools teacher approach, to his students. He is not in the affected area. He is not in a Muslim neighborhood. He is making this speech from Jaffna. From Tamils area he is talking about Tamil. So is not making this speech to Muslim mass. He knows that with that small hand held Megaphone it not going to reach any Muslims, most them are in South and East. He has clearly selected a particular category audience. He knows that this will go to them, not as Megaphone sound. He thinks the friends and foes of the Muslim government ministers’ will drop this in their ears. Rishad Bathyutheen still doing(hurting) it to Tamils. With that dump courage, he attempted to knock the King out at a cabinet meeting and badly hurt now. He kept his mouth shut up after that. But Ayoop Asimin accepts that Muslim mass not ready to believe these thieves, to the extent they were ready to depend on Pirabhaharan. He accepts that they are asking him of where about Pirabhaharan because they want his protection. The truth is, any body understood Lanka’s politics understood is that he had created a power balance between him and the Mahavamsa Modaya Governments and maintained it. They feel the vacuum now. Only Blake misunderstood that need of the power balance and destroyed it. The matters Ayoop referring as coming from Muslims community to ears are soon going come from core Buddhist Monks of Sinhala Mass. It is no longer on the “start on Muslims” is going on now. Actually it is in the middle now. Soon they will see the end Tamils saw. But the start is now on the Buddhist Monks. The message sent out yesterday is that the Buddhist Monks can not stay away from the Holy Cleaning Job the BBS has started. If they miss it they will face Watareka Thero’s end. That time Buddhist Monks too going to go for the lookout of Pirabhakaran .

shankar / June 21, 2014
sengodan,i don’t think it goes to that extent.This seems to be pure jealosy,when the sinhalese are unable to compete with the muslims in business.Muslims are very dedicated businessmen who work for their businesses 24/7 and the owner is on call always.The sinhalese business man clocks off and wants his family life.So he can’t compete.Jeolosy is the root cause of all this.
I remember one of my favourite restaurants called rahumaniya in front of thurstan college.We guys in Royal college always go there to eat.The mudalali a fat muslim with abig mustache is always there at the counter.Then when started to work also he was always there.He expanded with a adjoining grocery shop too.Then when i left the country and used to come on visits he was still on the counter.he will die there one day.That is the dedication of muslim businessman.
The sinhalese don’t realise the amount of sacrifice these people go through to make their business profitable.They just get jealous and burn it up.It will take ten years to build up and 10 minutes to destroy.This world consists of lifters and leaners.The lifters will build,the leaners will live on others sweat.

WORK OF THE LTTE TO DESTABILSE MOTHER LANKA.

Anpu / June 21, 2014
Very sad situation. Hope this stops soon.
Full story behind
“President rajapaksa say shut up ::::: …”
“President Rajapaksa Scolds Rishad Badhiutheen at Cabinet Meeting and Tells his Commerce Minister to “Stop Speaking and Shut Up”.
Sparks flew at the weekly cabinet meeting held on Thursday June 19th when the issue of anti Muslim violence instigated by the Bodhu Bala Sena in Aluthgama and Beruwela was discussed.
Heated arguments occurred between Muslim cabinet ministers Rauff Hakeem and Rishad Badhiutheen on the one hand and Buddhist cabinet ministers Champika Ranawaka on the other.
The bone of contention was the Bodhu Bala Sena(BBS). While the two Muslim ministers were harshly critical of the BBS and wanted the outfit proscribed the Buddhist ministers defended the BBS and argued against a ban on the Buddhist organization alone.Both Hakeem and Badhiutheen had wanted action to be taken against Galagoda Aththe Gnanasara Thero for his inflammatory anti – Muslim speech in Aluthgama.
The highlight of the cabinet meeting however was the flare up between President Mahinda Rajapaksa and Industries and Commerce Minister Rishad Badhiutheen.
According to informed sources cabinet minister Badhiutheen who is also the leader of the All Ceylon Peoples Congress had addressed the President at one stage and stated “After the ethnic violence of July 1983 it has been under your rule that communal violence and destruction of such magnitude has happened.The Government headed by you as President must take full responsibility for what happened in Aluthgama and Beruwela.
An irritated President had responded “Are you not a minister in this Government”?.To which Badhiutheen had replied “Yes. But you do not listen to what we say as ministers. We wanted the BBS rally in Aluthgama to be stopped but our request was ignored. Gnanasara Thero spoke and encouraged violence. Now we want action taken against him but nothing is happening. Gnanasara Thero is at the bottom of most anti-Muslim activities. We want you to take action against him but you are not doing that.If you do not take action about Gnanasara Thero this country will suffer more violence and destruction”.
Agitated at the unusual defiance displayed by Badhiutheen the President had retorted angrily “Do you know what will happen if the Sinhala ministers present here start speaking on behalf of our Sinhala people in the way that you are speaking in support of your Muslims”?
A tended Badhiutheen had then replied” You must not talk like that sir. You are not the President of the Sinhala people alone. You are the President of the whole country and all the communities.You are the President for the Sinhala,Tamil and Muslim people. You must look after all communities equally. You must not act like the President of the Sinhala people alone.
These words of Badhiutheen enraged the President who is known to be angered easily. He stood up angrily and wagged his finger at Badhiutheen. “Stop speaking immediately and shut up. You are racist and a religious fundamentalist. I have been observing your activities for some time now”.
While a visibly shaken Badhiutheen sat in silence pandemonium reigned. Several ministers got involved in a heated exchange. Senior ministers however intervened and eased the tension by calming their emotional colleagues.”

Not only oil,even Tea,though grown in countries
like ours is, not under our control.The gems we
mine,cut and polish are bought,re-cut and
re-polished and sold to customers only by the
designers in their names.The garments we produce
with so much pride and boast are only bearing
the names of the retailers who buy them.We only
make them with the fabrics and design owned by
the retailers who reach to the customer at the
end.We only sell our labour.The problem with
our country is,it has a rogue population upon
which SLFP and its partners heavily depend since
their inception.These rogues are their support
base.Rogues elect their masters and masters
serve them.Masters hands are tied by the
economic policy of JRJ.Before 1977 their game
plan was nationalising private and enemy(UNP)
enterprises to punish them and make the rogues
happy.Now that their circuses have no space,
they have found a way to satisfy rogue thirst!
The policy is”if we can’t win you,then we will
destroy you.” Muslim leader’s cowardice is
also clearly identified by the criminals.
It is a mixture of interests in one parcel.
One must not forget to blame the UNP for its
failure to highlight govt’s real intention
behind the hate campaign tolerance after UNP
support base.And these crimes are let loose
as soon as a UN investigation on war crimes
have started,to show the world that they don’t
care anyone!It’s up to the world now!Arabs
will definitely do something in protest.And
Sinhalese will soon understand that the rogues
are on their way after them.UNP will wake up
to find that their Sinhalese voter base is one
clear target.

muslims tolerance would have reached its limit with the burning of no limit.Expect some suicide bombers in the future folks.
Suicide bombers finished off all the UNP leadership and they are now like a headless chook.Same is probably going to happen to UPFA including bodu balu sena in the next 25 years.Best of luck srilanka.
Tamils and muslims may also fight together in the future against the sinhalese.then it is 25% vs 75% a more manageable ratio of 1:3.
now because of the divide and rule policy the sinhalese have been able to deal with the tamils first and are now starting on the muslims.
It will not work the next time because the muslims are going to become smarter and woo the tamils and the tamils will also forgive and join.

“tamils will also forgive and join. “
Tamils should forgive muslims for what?
whatever the sermons these tamils preach when it comes to violence by others, they think they are living in a moral high ground forgetting and approving all the violence and terrorism by LTTE…and their politicians…
Do you really think muslims in thos country need tamil’s forgiveness?
/
shankar / June 22, 2014
“Tamils should forgive muslims for what? “
sach,don’t you read the comments in this site by tamils.I thought you were a meticulous reader.
The muslims seem to have forgiven the tamils for horrendous crimes like ethnic cleansing,massacres in the mosque etc because i don’t see comments here of muslims attacking tamils for it,but not vise versa with tamils.You are right when you say tamils live in moral high ground conveniently forgetting violence done by them,but they have long memories of acts done against them.
that is why i said it is time to let bygones be bygones and move forward because it is in the interest of the minorities to unite.
Otherwise they will build,then get destroyed,build again from ground up,then get destroyed,build again…..

The fire set by thug Gnanasara and the BBS is spreading and is likely to consume this country, until the thug is arrested and his Organisation is banned. Will the government which is suspected to be colluding do so? Sinhala traders/ business interests are also in a sinister way part of the triangle targeting the Muslims and their business interests.
Incidentally, Panadurai has an interesting history. It was originally Paananthurai- the port where the Minstrel landed.
Nalluruwa, a village there was land gifted to Sapumalkumaraya/ Sembahaperumal after he conquered Nallur the capital of the Jaffna Kingdom. The 1958 riots began here with the burning of the Brahmin Priest of the Hindu temple. Panadura in a some ways represents the sad story of a Sri Lanka.

Its not even 48 hours after the President announced not only in Beruwela but also in the cabinet that he will not allow any Muslim Business to be attacked. What has he got to say about this. I think its time he recognizes his inability to govern and resign from the post of President and not only him his brothers also should resign. Shame on Rajapakse family for their inability to rule Sri Lanka.
Every single women in the country who believes in Rule of Law, equal rights, Peace and safety of their children should come out and protest.

My Dear Srilankans. I am a Maldivian who is studying in Srilanka. All these years we believe Srilankans are part of our Maldivians and we did not hesitate to be out of our apartment and feel secure all the times. However, today i feel some Srilankans dont want keep as a peaceful country and want start another war like before. As a muslim i didnt feel secure here now and wish all the srilankans be unite like Singaporian and live happily. After the war we get education and health facilities from Srilanka like home and your hospitality and helpfulness really remarkable and appreciated. Dear brothers and Sisters. We all are humans and we all created by same god so dont destroy others homes and shops and live as a same nations. Wish you all the best.

Ladies and Gents, UN ( Impotent body of the world), Unprincipled India and its government;
Hear hear!
Srilankan government and its elected majority wanted nothing less than a sinhalist country where other communities are either as slaves or departed from their soil. If you leave it to too late, I think the loss of lives and their valuable properties would be lost for ever.

No-Limit has been a source of employment for many Sinhala boys and girls who would otherwise have been drivers and housemaids washing the toilets of the filthy Arabs and serving their other lecherous needs. Now, this attack is like cutting the hand that rocks the cradle. Go on, Balu Budu Sena, destroy your own kind.

How horrible. This is the same store chain that suffered a bomb attack at Nugegoda some years ago.
I recently saw a documentary on an arson that burnt down a mosque in California. The documentary shows how people responded to this hate crime.
I know it’s fashionable in some SL circles to demean Americans as duplicitous, but I hope at least some CT readers check it out.

The problem is crystal clear.
Mahinda Rajapakse family wanted to build a case for need of military rule in case of failing to get the people vote to survive from being handicap.
So creating an environment to justify military take over as a last resort is in progress since last three years.
In Aluthgama case Mahinda Rajapakse is uttering that he will send Military for re-construction and silent about the violence.
Here the flame of No-Limit case too, Mahinda Rajapakse may say he will send the military.
Simply north and east region, education and higher education sectors, then gradually other parts of the country are being transformed in to military control.
I think, UNP leadership also accountable for not transforming the party within to win the hearts and minds of people and become a constructive, stronger opposition that can unite the rest.

Now it is very clear that all Western Powers, Tamil Diaspora along with Madam Pillay is behind this attack. Everybody knows that in the history these kind of attacks were taken place while our Hon. Mahinda Rajapaksha is out of the Dharmadveepaya and the whole world knows that Hon. Rajapaksha had no hand on those attacks. This time they decided to attack directly while our President in the country to put the blame on Govt. Account. According to reliable information all these so called developed countries, Western Countries and Madam Pillay are Jealous with Hon. Mahinda Rajapaksha because he was honored by Bolivian Govt. for his contribution towards “Peace and democracy in Bolivia” and that was the highest kind in that country. They were angry because not only Bolivia even China and Russia also did the same thing. They got information that Uganda, Somalia, Burma, Vietnam, Swaziland, Nigeria and many other Developed countries are going to follow Bolivia, China and Russia. Now we have to expect more and more attacks after Prince Namal becomes Dr. Namal Rajapaksha.

The Muslims must not react violently; this is exactly what the MR gang wants. MR wants to create an emergency situation so he can put the UN investigation on hold while he plots his next move. At the same time, he wants to create a siege mentality among the Sinhala Buddhists!

Is this media freedom? Without any evidence to tell what ever they want. How damaging this could be for the ethnic harmony?
If you are a responsible media, before reporting it as a mob attack, you must at least show one evidence. There are security guards there. CCTV cams. Nothing shows this as a mob attack.
