Bodu Bala Sena has been targeting innocent Muslim people for more than 3 years now. It has been a customary habit of the BBS to generate some chaos very often about the minority communities. They have been targeting places of worship of minorities in Sri Lanka. Many churches, Hindu temples and mosques have been ransacked and burned to ground in many places in Sri Lanka. Tamils locally and internationally claim that their traditional home lands of North and East have been colonised and more and more Buddhist statues and temples have been erected in their areas. This act has been viewed and perceived as a cultural invasion by the majority of Tamils. This is done with the protection of three forces in Sri Lanka. This is the general perception of most of Tamils in Sri Lanka and abroad. This perception has been internationalised now. The international communities have already realised this crafty attitude of this government.
After defeating LTTE the present day Sri Lankan government is very crafty destroying the cultural heritage of minority communities. Its implicit approval and endorsement of the BBS activities are well known among all communities in SL. Even opposition political parties know that and yet, they cannot take any necessary measure to curtail BBS activities because a powerful ‘person’ is behind its atrocities. How many mosques have been targeted by BBS in recent times? How many churches have been targeted by BBS? How many Hindu temples have been targeted by BBS and its agent in recent time? Yet, no legal action has been taken as if Sri Lanka has no any legal system in to bring them to the court of law?
BBS has been waiting until the commonwealth meeting is over to begin its venomous activities. Soon after the commonwealth meeting was concluded, the BBS begun to unleash its hatred campaign. Recently the BBS went to Devenagala with some false claims. It is asking people surrounding Devenagala to evacuate their houses. People around this area have been living for many decades and yet, they never been as hindrance for the Buddhist temple on the top of the stone. There is a Buddha statue on the top of this stone and very rarely people go to this stone to engage in religious activities on the top of this stone. If they want to remove Muslims from this area they should also ask Sinhalese families to move from this area as well. Why is this racial and discriminative attitude?
What is the interior motive of this claim right now? Why any other Buddhist organizations in that area did not ask people around Devenagala to evaluate their houses any time in history before? Why is right now? It is nothing but religious jealousy of the BBS and its agents? It is nothing but communal hatred of he BBS and its agents. What more is there are lots of Buddhist people live in the surrounding of Devenagala. In the name of sacredness why do they only target Muslims? Muslim people have been living there for many decades and they intermingle with Sinhalese people in that area for centuries without any problems. There was not any previous religious disturbance between Muslims and Sinhalese of that area at all in the past. They have been living harmoniously and peacefully in this area for many years. Indeed, each community is getting on well with other community and indeed participating in many socio-cultural events. It is not the local Sinhalese who make this unnecessary trouble rather it is the BBS and its agent from somewhere else come here to make this trouble.
The BBS and its cohorts do not like to see communal harmony between Sinhalese and other communities. That is why it comes up with unsubstantiated claims to create division and disturbance among communities. These bogus claims are well known to Sri Lankan people. The majority of people in this country know that well. They know well that the BBS is a bogus Buddhist fanatic group and it is morally and ethically bankrupt. Sinhalese know well that Lord Buddha would never and ever endorse these types of communal hatred and religious jealousy. Nowhere in Buddhist scripture the Lord Buddha had undermined people of other faiths and other cultures. He denounced this world in order to liberate humanity from greed and desire. How come these so called followers of Load Buddha dared to uproot families from their homes?
There is no greater crime than dismantling families from their homes. Indeed, it could be contented that sacredness of family life is not in any way less sacred than religious sites and places. It would be morally and ethically wrong to ask people to leave the surrounding of Devenagala or any place of so called Buddhist lands. In the name of town development projects the defence Ministry is destroying the houses of Muslims and Tamils in Colombo and in the name of sacred lands the BBS and its agents want to destroy the houses of Muslims and Tamils in many part of Sri Lanka. For these Buddhist fanatics human life is cheaper than these stones and man-made sacred places. They, the Buddhist fanatics love to see the suffering of people. Are they enjoy and jolly ride on the miseries of other people?
BBS is nothing but a ruthless and radical agent of this government. It is well documented fact that some powerful ministers are overtly and covertly working behind the scenes of the BBS. How on earth this radical group come out of blue sky without any political support. This government should take the responsibility for the all activities of the BBS in recent time. So far no action has been taken against the atrocities and barbarism of the BBS in Sri Lanka. BBS is an epitome of racism and hatred in Sri Lanka. Against all international norms of any civilised society, BBS has been spreading filthy lies and fabrications against innocent minority communities in Sri Lankan. It has been depicting some ministers, and religious leaders with some dirty words and parlances. The Attitudes, body languages, rhetoric, manners and etiquettes of the BBS have been below any human sense. They have been presenting themselves as an army of radicals. They look like as born again Buddhist fundamentalists in Sri Lanka. It looks as if their hearts and minds are filled with poisonous ides of racism, hatred and prejudice. They look down on all other religious groups in Sri Lanka as if they are superior class of human beings. They reckon themselves as chosen people of this Island and all others are second class people. This is indeed a self deception and devil illusionary perception of the BBS and its agents. Their attitude and expressions are very much similar to the attitudes and mindsets of Nazis of Germany and white rulers of South Africa in those days.

You are looking at the problem through your ass hole. ——————————————————————————–The intention to annihilate Tamils, Muslims and Christians started from 1948 or even before: Remember the anti-Muslim riots by Sinhalese in 1915? The action has been accelerating for 66 years now. Now it has reached such an intensity that it is in the open for all, including the international community, to see.————————————————————————————————————————What we need is an international investigation for crimes of genocide of Tamils and Muslims: Destroying religious places, ethnic cleansing (of Tamils and Muslims) mentioned by the author are acts of genocide. The solution to the Sinhalese problem is in Geneva, and the UN.

Had we had strong leaders within the muslim community, nothing would have gone this way. Take Hakeem for example. He is the most silent minister of justice we ever had since independence. Let s list what he has fulfilled sofar….. can anyone of you … add me please.. what he has done to the nation sofar ?… What have his genuine efforts been in terms of standing against any kind of BBS violence against the muslim community ?
He could react adequately as the MINISTER of justice of the current regime. What has he done so far ? In terms of any other issues related to proper crime investigations, wrongly held impeachment process against former CJ Dr. SB, in terms of saving the life of that poor Rizana from being beheaded ?
I wonder why a minister of Justice stay mum to this level while there are stacks of issues waiting him to address directly ?

Wyatt K / December 12, 2013
Muslims have strong voices such as Sumanthiran. I have heard him speak out against of what has been happening to Muslims there. You have the most powerful voice in Sri Lanka on your side… He may not be a Muslim, but the Muslims regard him as their own.
/
Samuel / December 12, 2013
Wyatt,
as one who is longing Sumanthiran to become the leader of the nation, you may have all wishes based on your knowledge. But be real, there are lot more others whose profiles could be best match in terms of the nomination for the candidature. I have no doubt, that S ^s views polarises entire nation, however, he lacks a set of experience being very young and immature by today.
You say, muslims have strong voices, but looking the bunch that are in power leaning to the current regime, please name me any of reliable voices among them ? If the spirit of Sumanthiran were with Hakeem, things would have worked for us all better to this day, but unfortunately, Hakeem is hakeem, Sumanthiran is sumanthiran.
/
Wyatt K / December 13, 2013
Samuel: I understand what you are saying. I am a very proud supporter of Sumanthiran’s and it was a Muslim friend of mine who introduced me to him. In fact, the Muslims I know all post his speeches and writings on their Facebook pages. He gained support with the Muslims because he has spoken out on the behalf many times. Where I part ways with you is that Sumanthiran has just as much experience as Abraham Lincoln did when he ran for President. At least Sumanthiran will surround himself with the best and brightest minds just like Lincoln did. He will not simply give all his family members the power to be corrupt. I would take him over anyone else, but that is my view on it. He represents all people of reason who support freedom, democracy and equality for EVERYONE. And, it was Muslims who were among his early most ardent supporters. I am glad that he has stood up for Muslims and has stood up for all people who share common things such as the love of freedom, democracy and the rule of law.

Too Late. When this was happening to Tamils Muslims were witht the Govt. and supporting them. Now it is your turn. If you have united with Tamils at the time of fighting for the tamils WE, Tamils & Muslims would have got our rights. But you didn’t do that.
Even Now it is NOT TOO LATE. See what your socalled LEADERS have done to your community. They are busy enjoying the bones the Govt. has given to them to support them.
At least now you all think very clearly. If you miss this time then it will be TOO LATE . . .

Well we never supported government sorry you are in correct. Its our bloody leaders whom done, and when Praba died we also sad as its a down fall of all Minority, When praba was there BBS was pissing in pants and now they try to piss on others. Well Muslim is Tamil and Tamil is Muslims… there is no diffrence, however, soon MR and his Bro will be in Geneva for answering the questions and then hanged. after that UNP will start slapping all Monks on ths street, dont worry my friend…

BBS does not represent mainstream Sinhala Buddhists who are by and large peaceful and moderate.———–BBS, the Frankenstein creation of Gothabaya, serves the regime as a diversionary side-show and that needs to be clearly understood.———Stick and carrot is the strategy of the regime to keep the minorities in their place, and to demand their support in return for protection (a fundamental right!).———Considering the maniacal character of that thug Galaboda masquerading in yellow robes, the marauding BBS will soon get too big for their boots and start to challenge the regime.——–That is when they will be hoisted on their own petard.—-Meantime the minorities should be patient, but keep resisting these thugs as best as they can.
/
Avb / December 12, 2013
If BBS is not representing Sinhalese Buddhists, then those Mahanayake Monks should come forward and condemn BBS acts openly and strongly. I never heard any real condemnation from high ranking SL monks. I heard some leading Buddhists monks outside of SL commenting those BBS acts as DISGUSTING !!

/
Samuel / December 12, 2013
I think, they seem to be silent all along .. meaning BBS is not representing lanken buddhists. As many in and out of the country feel, BBS is the religious forces mobilised by current rulers to draw a different image to the world. Alone by listening to the leader of BBS, one would not take even seconds to feel that the monk is an IRC man in saffron robes. I really dont know who would offer alms to such monks in the country today. These pseudo monks – criminals should be brought before courts – however, in an environment judiciary s being handled by state top leadership, general public has no chance to go against. Actually, CW countries before offering the chairmanship to MR, they should have studied all these closely. Unfortunately, now not only srilanka, but CW is run under the leadership of a candidate, about whom millions of people raise the question, – war criminal or not..

BBS has one and only one intention. That is to deviate the focus of people to something else when government is about to execute any anti-social activity.
It may be Muslims, Hindus, Christians, Mahayana Buddhists and even Theravada Buddhists. It can even be birth control pills or condoms…
It doesn’t matter what is the subject of attack as far as the focus of mass public is deviated.
/
Play Toe -The Philosopher / December 12, 2013
Exactly! The general public cannot do anything against these attrocities as MR is an One on only thug who posses political power (the other thugs are Modi in India, and Than Shwe in Burma)and have no shame in lying openly in front of any crowd, and do what he does always – Rowdyism, Racism and skulduggery talk.
We have to wait at least the for a few months more to see how heaven is falling on his shit-filled head for once and for all.

a thousand year ago the Moslem hordes who raped and pillaged North India, destroyed its civilization and brought unspeakable horrors to the Sub Continent were finally stopped by the geography of the Deccan. Lanka owes its safety and its ability to preserve Buddhism to this factor alone. Today incursion is moslem fanatics is threatening Lanka, with descendants of South Indian sudra converts to Islam such as the writer, carefully launching a campaign to denigrate pious monks and Buddhism. The reader should be very careful in distinguishing between these parties. The shadow of Sharia is hanging over Lanka, and Wahabism is already the religion of its Eastern Provinces. This is an alarming development and its a matter of time before the Moslem fanatics start cultural and demographic domination of the country followed by destruction of its non-Buddhist history a la Bamyan style. Lankans leaders should be extremely careful to invite non-moslem investors and promote a non-Islamic dominated commerce. Time is running out for Lanka.

@Gay Chambers. All imaginary muck based on hearsay. There are Muslims living peacefully in all parts of the world, with daily conversions to Islam occurring in mostly developed countries. You make it sound like Muslims as a whole are really bad people. You seem to be so damn dumb, that you cannot identify with a minority of criminals who happen to be Muslims, and the rest of them who are civilized adherents of the Islamic faith. You clump them all together as one. In retrospect, what is in reference in this case is a small fringe group (to which you too fit like hand in glove) is the racist group calling themselves BBS. Not the rest of the Buddhist people and community at large, with whom all Muslims living in SL get along well. This salient point has also been emphasized over and over again in the article, although you read it with a lopsided and prejudiced mind.
/
sach / December 15, 2013
Thogh I agree with you that branding ordinary peaceloving muslims as terrorists is wrong as many in media does. I have a small probelm with this writer.
Devanagala is a historical temple which is suffering from encroachments from muslim settlers. We have seen and there are evidence of how acid has been thrown into stone edificts and temple had been destroyed. I have never been a supporter of BBS but a vociferous critic of it. But when destruction of buddhist temples by Muslims especially historic ones goes on racists like BBS will gain more followers. It is good if you look into actions of Muslims and see for your self whether these allegations are true.

@jay Chambers,
Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. In 1400 years, 1.25 billion Muslims, Quater of the world population, and still growing. As long as Muslims practise real Islam, No one can stop it.
What non-Muslim and non-Islamic dominated commerce are you suggeting for
Sri Lanka ? Huge Casinos with its side effects which are prostitution, drugs and alcoholism ? It will hit the Budhists and Budhist culture before any thing. As long as Budhists take unBudhist actions like violence and casinos to protects Budhism, Budhist culture and history will soon become history.
If you want to protect Budhism, Follow real Budhism. Nothing else.

Things are obvious and in the clear even to the layman. Genetically the Rajafuksha clan does not possess class, qualities of diplomacy and good dealing. Now they use the BBS while it has always been obvious they care no hoots about Buddhism!
Now they go about building statues in every street corner..not even the trishaw drivers fall for it. It is so bad they now cannot even amass a bus load of trishaw drivers for a goon job.. Instead they have to depend on an outstation minister like the guy that had to be recently rewarded with a ministry! This is akin to appointing many class prefects on grade 3…just so the teachers can score browny points and get favours from influential parents!

Maghribi / December 12, 2013
If democracy (mob rule) means majority by the sheer strength of more people, denying the minority basic human values such as the right to practice their faith peacefully and claiming holy land status to a philosophy that came from India/Nepal does not speak for itself. Demolishing existing places of worship either built legally or otherwise, is a clear violation of rights to practice ones faith. Sri Lanka is not the birth place of Buddhism and there is no evidence that holy sites were claimed by Buddha 2500 years ago in the present Sri Lanka.
All peace loving Sri Lankans should vehemently oppose this kind of destruction through every means available to them. The Sinhellists (BBS/JHU/SR/BR) orchestrating a grave injustice just as the misguided factions Taliban. Those who condone this act of demolishing established places of worship; should have a serious look at their conscience specially the filthy minds.

We oppose these low calibre tactics by BBS which brings nothing but discredit to the country and Buddism. We should adopt more decent and lasting tactics to protect Buddism in this land .Muslims invade by numbers and it is obvious statistically that one day they overcome us by just populating then place . They can wait until that day and they appear extremismly peace loving and innocent though their motives are completely different.However we Sinhalese have no fight to challenge their lawful existence and we must do everything possible to face those challenges awaiting for us in a future date.We must keep our population growth healthy and educate our children about our heritage and values.These cheap antics will only portray us as barbaric nation and that would not help our cause in long run.
/
Ahamed / December 12, 2013
Muslims and Buddhists will not live harmoniously with each other because some fanatics from both sects are leading towards fundamentalism. Therefore, Muslim intellectuals like Dr. Rifai should understand the reality and try to find a solution for this. My view is that the government should ban expansion of any place of worship and draw up a plan to convert the already available places of worship into schools and hospitals; within such premises a small portion could be reserved for praying. The Lankan society is so much corrupt that they try to bribe even the God through generous donations and they compete with each other to develop places of worship; somebody has to stop this nonsense. Secondly, the Muslims should stop buying properties in Sinhalese or Tamil areas and instead try to migrate to Muslim countries or buy lands only in the Muslim villages, particularly in the East. The Muslims in small villages should sell their properties and shift to large villages. Otherwise, their safety will be at risk always and one cannot expect the government to protect them since the government is depending on majority votes.

Samuel / December 12, 2013
So long a country fail to introduce a properly functional legal system that work on all communities equally, nothing can work on peace and harmony among the folks. That is the foundation. Unfortunately, the current regime seems to be working on the other way around while preaching about their genuine efforts made towards peace and reconciliation.
If a house to be built properly, the proper foundation is must. Malaysia functions well with all religious groups though the majority of them are muslims. It is just because they have laws that act equally to everyone. Fundamentalists are seen in every religion. But the laws safeguarding the rights of the folks should leave any space those culprits to work according to their agenda. Some townships in the UK and Germany, you will find predominant numbers of muslim immigrants, but the laws held there control over them even if some fanatics try to break the laws. In that way they control over there. So why cant srilanka to do so by introducing rigorous laws to the prevailing in order to provide the security to all equally.
/
Maghribi / December 12, 2013
Fundamentals are a basic principle, rule, law, or the like, that serves as the groundwork of a system; to master the fundamentals of a trade, serving as or being an essential part of a foundation or basis; underlying: fundamental principles structure. Without the thorough knowledge of fundamentals one will be lost in trade. The DNA of Muslims are to protect their Blood, honour and property. May Allah have mercy on the soul of the apologists.

Mr. Rifai as usual another story of full of rubbish. I have challenged you few times to go to Babile Road, Gampola and see for yourself how your Allah’s representative Mullahs have built the Mosque over this hundreds of years old public road. Is there anyone who think BBS or anyone who talks to protect the rights of the Sinhala Buddhists is a racist? I want that idiot to go to this road to understand why people start to protect their rights. It is not only in Sri Lanka but all over the world where ever Muslims are problems, and it is a fact. Now they kill not only other religious people but their own. Even Mecca is restricted to one part of Muslims, that what Mohamad has taught. So Muslims must stop these criminal acts. How about Gampola Kirikris Hadjir? The most dangerous criminal with the support of Ministers. How come these people are not punished by Allah or why can’t Allah who created them make them good people? He also pray 5 times a day. So Rifai don’t throw stones from a glass house.

Rifai Naleem is a racist. BBS is trying to protect the Sinhala heritage before it is destroyed by the muslims. Muslims have an agenda, that is to colonise all traditional Sinhalese villages, specially the old once with history like Sevanagala. It has happened already in many places. They will do this slowly and steadily, and thereafter as it happened in Indonesia, Malaysia, Java and many other places, trample those communities, who have now become a minority. That is the fear we Buddhists have in Sri Lanka. Sinhala kings gave assylum to Muslims in the traditional Sinhala homeland, and what happened next? They did not allow a Buddhist procession, (perahera) to pass their mosque beating drums. This caused in riots in 1915. Look at everywhere in the world, where there are minorities among the majority Muslims. They are being harrassed, deprived of all human rights and evicted or killed. Examples are Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Irag, and many more. So, what is the rubbish Nalim is talking about.

Some Buddhist organizations like the BBS, Sinhala Ravaya, etc. mislead the Buddhists saying that not, only the Muslims, but the Christians and Hindus too are attempting to destroy Buddhism in Sri Lanka. Looking at the several negative attitudes of the Buddhists in Sri Lanka, their aping the Western Culture in all their behaviours which are against Buddhist teachings, and the increasing incidents of Buddhist Monks involvement in acts of rape and other crimes it will be seen that they themselves are destroying Buddhism and that there is no need for others to do it.

If buddhist monks are engaged in illegal acts, they will be punished. Buddhists never condone such acts. Though i am not a supporter of BBS, the accusation of destroying Devanagala vihara is very strong

I agree with your views. But BBS is a racist and even a facist org. It is not the right one to serve buddhists. When such an org is taking these causes, rest of the sane world looks at like liars. But the destruction of devanagala is a crime and needs every buddhists concern. For that we need good natured disciplined but wise leaders. BBS doesnt belong to that category.

Every one knows that BBS is the epicentre of racism in SL : the entire world knows that. It is like a virus that spread venoms racism and hatred: it is epicentre of discrimination and prejudice: you do need tell that: it is Goata breeds them and it is Goata with his hidden agenda created it: please wait and see how international enquiry come up with this Goata war crimes and entire world knows the stories and racist attacks of BBS. Do you need evidence for that : it is self evidently clear for any sound person not for blind like you: it is not Dr Rifai who is racist but BBS and it’s cohorts: you need to wait and see how Tamil community wage war against against BBS racism: this time they will come with 75 millions people from Tamil Nadu: you will have only sea in front of you to jump nothing else: neither china nor Pakistan would come to help you if there is another LTTE war: learn to live in peace and learn to respect others : If BBS represent Buddhism it is same

Dr. Rifai, Most people comment here don’t know the real situation in Devanagala or at least where it’s situated. Because they want to mud sling at BBS and Buddhists they just writing comments here.
The archealogical area in Devanagala is 400 meters from the bottom of the hill.But during last 10-20 years the muslim villagers living around there systematically grab the land within 400 meters arch. area and built houses mostly by Minister Athauda Senevirathne’s henchmen[muslims] in this area. This stupid politician who once tried to scrap the “Nationality” in our birth certificate, neither don’t know the value of an arch. site nor don’t care about buddhist arch. sites ignore this land grab.’Cos of the minority votes. Now several occasions Arch. officer’s tried to demarcate the arch. area but Minister Athauda and his muslim henchmen protest and force to stop it. Now Dec 23rd arch. officers going to do it again. If BBS mediate to demarcate buddhist arch. site what’s wrong with it.
