This is so easy, so predictable. Even a five year old Muslim kid would make this prediction effortlessly. Anything that’s psychologically overwhelming becomes easily predictable through a process known as conditioning. Classical conditioning whose teachers are many today, is the first type of learning to be discovered within the behaviorist tradition. The major theorist in the development of classical conditioning is Ivan Pavlov and his contemporary Sigmund Freud.
There is certainly a distinct pattern emerging, not too difficult to comprehend. Inter alia the interplay of demographics is huge. When two national leaders with Buddhist credentials come forward as main candidates for example at a Presidential election in Sri Lanka, the insecure one plays the “Entitlement” and “Sinhala Exceptionalism “card. This strategic stance extends a lot of leverage. Coupled with an attempt to induce fear psychosis in the minorities the mantra forms a healthy equation.
Those that want to remain in power can subvert any political system. More detrimentally people can be turned idiots if one of the popular candidates is a polished and veteran demagogue. This is the only reason I find democracy infinitely imperfect. Basic intelligence is not a widely distributed commodity, that’s why we have Donald Trump at the helm today.
Come 2020 the election year – those incessantly feeding the ravenous “Entitlement” and “Exceptional” appetite will release their stashed dough to create havoc once again so that they could motivate an obtuse and nescient mob to accomplish certain essential milestones. The usual slogans “they are taking our land” “they are mixing vandha beheth” This is essential “political Investment” for some to make their own people idiots for political gain. This way the strategy could garner most of the Sinhala Buddhist votes and minorities vote could also go communal and a clear winner emerges.
The residual sediments of the aforestated lethal politics still lingers though not active as it should be. We have not seen its full force. The psychologically tormenting and ubiquitous “orange revolution” is at work though deprived of full throttle. To continue on the mental torture phenomenon one of my friends told that his seven year old daughter associates color orange with violence. She hugs her parent’s moment she sees anyone walking, talking or running in orange. This is an unfortunate development.
Like the ominous footprint of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) – “The Army of Defense for Israel”. The criminal military force of the State of Israel who terrorize Muslim households in Gaza and West Bank and other occupied territories. This deadly outfit enters homes of Palestinians in the cover of night and create such psychologically torturous mayhem. I am sure the world has seen and heard the shrieks and screams of young children and women. A strange parallel.
The priceless gifts some sections of the Sinhala-Buddhists continue to give, so lovingly to the Muslims does bear ample testimony of their profound gratitude. Valiantly and steadfastly committing to uphold the territorial integrity of the country Muslims stood firm. Sri Lanka our motherland. A great reward indeed for the Muslim leadership who constantly reassured the youth not to take any violent recourse despite persistent and pressing provocation. Previously by the LTTE and now by some white clad scoundrels and their easily malleable protégés.
Are these people so amnesic? Some of the most trustworthy intelligence in the Army and military were Muslims. Some of the best fighters were Muslims. My alma mater Zahira College Colombo gave a lot to the army in terms of bravery only to be bitten by a bunch of treacherous scoundrels. The Kattankudy massacre was too much for the Muslims. To be eliminated at a place of worship was simply unthinkable. Many incidents I can cite but what’s the point? Its history repeating itself.
Mr. Ranil Wickremesinghe the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka, I have some words for you. I had a lot of respect for you. I was once your ardent supporter not anymore.
My Prime Minister Sir is a 45 year old bright spark and one heck of a human being. When you couldn’t stop your own people from trespassing a UN funded refugee camp and started to relentlessly dehumanize a bunch startled Rohingya refugees my Prime Minister Mr. Justin Trudeau sent planes to Syria to bring them to Canada and give them a new life. And he was there in person to receive them at the airport.
When unruly mob in Sri Lanka with scant respect for the law cause havoc and judge innocent Muslims as being terrorists and mete them with everything extra-judicial My Prime Minister settled a case involving a Canadian inmate of Gitmo for a 10.5 million dollars because in his own words. “The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is for all Canadians and must be respected at all cost”. The Charter, is a bill of rights entrenched in the Constitution of Canada. It forms the first part of the Constitution Act, 1982. These are not mere words in a piece of paper but palpable rights enjoyed by ALL Canadians.
Prime Minister Wickremesinghe you have been at the helm of your party and the country for the last 25 years but My Prime Minister Trudeau is just into the third year of his first term and some of his policies are suicidal politically as the opposition takes him to task. But the people know he is doing the right thing and that’s what matters. He is not greedy for power. After all what’s power for if you’re unable to protect your people.
Finally I wish to state my Sinhala Buddhist brethren don’t try to destroy the economy of the Muslims. It’s the same God who gives them who gives you. Another issue that’s worrying the Sinhala-Buddhists is the supposedly disproportionate breeding of Muslims. I addressed this issue many times and wish to address it again. We are still less than 10% of the population according to the last census. If this is still a problem who the hell am I to tell a people how to increase their population.
Please, please, please do what has to be done to increase the Buddhist population. Two countries in the world has already legalized polygamy, polygyny to be precise. Eretria and Tanzania. Let Sri Lanka be the third and let this action prevent the Buddhists from casting a “vapara” eye at the Muslims. Incidentally by legalizing polygamy the Sri Lankan government will be implementing a proposal made by the Most reverend, Most disciplined, Most Venerable Galagoda Atte Gnanasara.
I surely would want my favorite minister Mr Patalai Champaka Ranawaka to take advantage when it becomes law. A true opportunity for him to save his race if he feels indeed threatened.

Too bad you could not predict that it would be you after the Tamils or understand that Karma was a Bitch.
From the Quora:
“The Sri Lankan Muslims were mainly used as armed Home Guards by the government in the Eastern Province of Sri Lanka. Throughout the late 80’s to late 90’s, these Home Guards committed unspeakable atrocities against Tamil civilians. These killing were done in the most brutal manner possible, and it created a major rift between the Tamil and Moor communities in the East.
The amount of brutality that was shown by these Home Guards even frightened Sinhalese people. I had once talked to a Sinhalese person on the topic of these Home Guards. In that conversation I had with him, he said “ If these Muslims can act with such savagery with those who speak the same tongue as them, imagine what they will do to us.”

Sri Lankan Muslims are not Moors or Arabs but descended from immigrant Dravidian Indian Tamil Hindu converts.. A little bit of Arab or other western Asian blood amongst a few Sri Lankan Muslim families, does not make them Moors or Arabs, they are still Tamils. Moors are anyway from Morocco and there is no record of anyone from Morocco migrating to this island from ancient to modern times. The Sri Lankan Muslims , especially their southern elite and politicians for political and economic advantages and for selfish power play decided it was best to deny their actual Tamil origin and heritage and claim some form of pan Islamic Muslim identity and latched on the incorrect classification the Portuguese gave to all South Asian and other Muslims whom they first met, during their colonial conquests. “Moors” as the only Muslims they had met before their travels are the Moors from North Africa who ruled the Iberian Peninsula for 800 years. All other Muslim communities immediately discarded this incorrect name for them as they are not Moors but these immigrant Dravidian Hindu Tamil converts from Indian in Sri Lanka , latched on to this name and did not want to discard this. The British and later the Sinhalese encouraged this, as they wanted to divide and rule the Tamils. Just like the Sinhalese are now encouraging the Tamil Colombo Chetties and Bharathas to be separated communities from the rest of the Tamils. Most people are not aware of the truth that the Kattankudi Mosque incident was triggered by the destruction of the ancient historic Sivan Kovil in the Kattankudi area by these same Muslim home guards and deliberately making the site of this destroyed Hindu temple a beef stall to insult the Tamils. This triggered the LTTE attack. Kattankudi and its Mosque was also a hotbed of Wahhabi Islamic extremism and was used as an arms depot by these Muslim home guards.

This crow cawing again. Each time he brings new news. The term “Moor” is a general name applied to all Muslims in Northern Africa. The Spanish called Moors most probably derived from “Mauri” of North Africa. Portuguese too called Moors when they came across people having same religion and culture as Moors of Cordoba. So when they came to Sri Lanka they classified them as Moors because their culture and religion similar to people of Cordoba, Morocco etc. Your Tamil Kings (if there was ever one in Sri Lanka) or Sinhalese kings should have objected to calling them Moors instead of Tamil or Sinhalese. You think Portuguese were nuts like you. They were more intelligent than you to classify anything. If Moors had at least 60% similarities to you or Sinhalese they wouldn’t have called us Moors. Why are you crying now instead of find proof and fight to change “Moors” to Tamil. You say Sinhalese too were from South India and Tamils. So you can fight with proof and change to Dravidian instead of Sinhalese or at least Tamil Sinhalese. You are talking SHIT about Kattankudi attack saying it was because Muslim destroyed Hindu Temple. Show proof. Chettis are trading community in India and Sri Lanka. They were not Tamils although they speak Tamil in Tamil areas. They were Hindu but in Sri Lanka all of them converted to Christianity

Real Siva Sankaran Sharma / March 10, 2018
Here comes the madman . Even as 1888 and earlier the British knew the Sri Lankan Moors were Tamils and not of Arab descent but went along with the lie, to divide and rule the Tamils.
From the journal of the Sri Lankan Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society of Briton and Ireland
1891
To sum up. It has been shown that the 185,000 Moors in the Island fall under two classes, “Coast Moors” and “Ceylon Moors,” in almost equal numbers; that the “Coast Moors” are those Muhammadans who, having arrived from the Coromandel coast or inner districts of South India as traders or labourers, continue steadily to maintain relations of amity and intermarriage with their friends in South India; and that such “Coast Moors” are Tamils.
As regards the nationality of the “Ceylon Moors,” numbering about 92,500 out of the 185,000, we have ample reasons for concluding that they too are Tamils,—I mean the masses of them ; for, of course, we meet with a few families here and there—say, five per cent, of the community, or about 5,000 out of the 92,500—who bear the impress of an Arab or other foreign descent. Even the small coterie of the Ceylon Moors, who claim for themselves and their co-religionists an Arab descent, candidly admit that on the mother’s side the Ceylon Moors are exclusively Tamil. All that remains to be proved, therefore, is, that their early male ancestors were mainly Tamils. For this purpose I have sketched the history of the Ceylon Moors. I have shown the utter worthlessness of a tradition among them that a great colony of Arabs of the house of Hashim made settlements at Beruwala and other parts of the Island, and have adduced reasons for accepting as far more probable

Only person splitting hairs is you , as you want the lie that Sri Lankan Muslims or descended from Arabs/Moors to continue for your own diabolical agenda of divide and rule. We all know that all humans originated from Africa but Sri Lankan Moors did not originate from Arabs or Moors but from Tamils from South India. Stating the obvious truth is not splitting hair.

Rohan / March 11, 2018
If you can accept the fact that the ancestors of all modern humans originated from Africa and the ancestors of all non African modern humans, originated from a single out of Africa migration that occurred 80000-100000 years ago, then why cant you accept the fact and the truth that the ancestors of the Sri Lankan Muslims are converted Hindu Tamils , who migrated from their South Indian homeland a few centuries ago and not Arabs? Instead of attacking the person who is stating the obvious fact that most of us other than die hard bigots like you know is the truth. You can accept the truth of the out of Africa migration that occurred 80000 years ago but cannot accept the truth of the out of South India Muslim Tamil migration of the ancestors of the Sri Lankan Muslims , as you think Arab ancestry is better than your actual Tamil ancestry , especially in Tamil hating largely Sinhalese Buddhist Sri Lanka and want to stick to this myth. It is obvious to everyone other than bigoted you and brainwashed idiots like Ralli Ameen , that there is hardly any Arab blood amongst the Sri Lankan Muslims. If there is it is miniscule only amongst a few families. You are making a fool of your self here, as you do not want to accept this obvious fact but stick to a lie and a myth, as you feel it is advantageous and the truth is not. If someone had stated and proved that the ancestors of Sri Lankan Muslims were Turks, Persians or some other western Asian people that in your pea sized brain you think are very acceptable, you and the idiotic Ralli, would have jumped and danced in joy applauded and called this person a hero. Too bad the truth is not what you want. We cannot choose our parents and relatives You are what you are. Accept it and stop whinging.

R.S.S.S. crow just don’t waste your time writing lies. Give the Author’s name of that journal and the correct date, where it is available. In British Archives in Sri Lanka Archives or the libraries so I can check whether it was it was written as had given by you here. Gujarat, Coromandel to Colombo Moors had connection, it was their route. We don’t say Arabs arrived with families but they took Tamil and Sinhalese women as wife, even converts too absorbed but the fact is there is 75% difference between Moors and Tamils. House of Hashim were some families chased out of Arabia by the then rulers and they were not traders. There had been such families from Egypt, Turkey, Jawa so what this has got to do with this term Moor? So what I have been telling you crow not caw always in online papers but with all the proofs challenge the government to take off the name Moors. So you have sketched the history of Moors, so some proof you have. Send a copy to Moors Islamic Cultural home Library so I too can read it. Sometime you may have to go back in time machine and start with Portuguese. Bye, Bye donkey.

contd
The tradition reported by Mr. Casie Chetty, that the original ancestors of the Ceylon Moors formed their first settlement at Kayal-paddanam, in Tamil Nadu and that many years afterwards a colony from that town—” the fatherland of the Chonagar “—migrated and settled at Beruwala. I have further shown how similar the history of the Ceylon
Moors is to that of the Coast Moors; how intimately connected they were with each other till the Dutch began to persecute them in Ceylon ; how intercourse between the mother-country in South India and Ceylon was arrested about 150, years ago; and how the distinction arose thereafter between the Ceylon Moors and the Coast Moors. By tracing in this manner their history, that is, their descent, I arrive at the conclusion that the early ancestors of the ” Moors,” Ceylon and Coast, were mainly Tamils on the father’s side, as admittedly they are exclusively on the mother’s side.
/
Real Siva Sankaran Sharma / March 10, 2018
Then, considering their social customs, I have pointed out how closely they are a copy of Tamil institutions. I have also touched upon their physical features and called attention to the opinion of some of our leading doctors of medicine and surgery, that the skull of a Moorman cannot be distinguished from that of a Tamil. In complete confirmation of the inference drawn from these arguments is the evidence afforded by language. The vernacular language of the Moors is, as I have said, Tamil, even in purely Sinhalese districts. What diversities of creed, custom, and facial features prevail among the low-country Sinhalese and the Kandyan Sinhalese, between Tamils of the Brahmin or Vellala castes and of the Paraya caste! And yet do they not pass respectively as Sinhalese and Tamils, for the simple reason that they speak as their mother-tongue those languages? Language in Oriental countries is considered the most important part of nationality, outweighing differences of religion, institutions, and physical characteristics. Otherwise each caste would pass for a race. Dr. Freeman’s contention, that “community of language is not only presumptive evidence of the community of blood, but is also proof of something which for practical purposes is tlie same as community of blood,”1 ought to apply to the case of the Ceylon Moors. But, of course, in their case it is not language only that stamps them as Tamils. Taking (1) the language they speak at home in connection with (2) their history, (3) their customs and (4) physical features, the proof cumulatively leads to no other conclusion than that the Moors of Ceylon are ethnologically Tamils.

Comparison of skull shape between ethnic groups is part of accepted methods in anthropometry, and therefore is not racism. If you google skull shapes by race it will give details of shapes of skulls of various races. In fact skull shape of Veddhas have been compared with that of Sinhalese and Tamils and found to be different. If you go through Hansard, late Mr. Lokubandara MP for Haputale told in parliament once that the nose of JR resembles the nose of Aryans. So please stop labelling others unnecessarily without checking facts.

From where did you get Moorman skull, from the cemetry? But Tamils burn the bodies and skull turn to ashes. So how did you compare these two types of skull. May be you would have murdered a Moor man and Tamil and took their skulls to compare. 4. Any communities can speak an adopted language, there are many example one is Black American. Their mother tongue is English now. Your Tamil’s generation settled in the 1900+ in those countries can speak only English. 5.

Besides The Dutch rulers, who believed that the Moors were only Tamil Muhammadans, other authorities, who have mixed and moved with the people of Ceylon and taken pains to study them, may be cited: such as the Rev. James Cordiner, whose duties as Director of all Schools in Ceylon during the administration of Governor North, 1798-1805, afforded him great opportunities of collecting information and judging on all matters connected with the sociology of the Island. At p. 139 of his work on Ceylon he declares that the Moors are Tamils by race. would mention also the name of Mr. Simon Casie Chetty, who was a Member of the Legislative Council of Ceylon for some years since 1838, and whose opinions are recorded in his Gazetteer. The editors of the Ceylon Obnurver, in their issue of December 10, 1885, said, ” We believe that fully 80 per cent, of the Muhammadans of Ceylon are Tamils.” And Mr. A. M. Ferguson, C.m.g., who has lived and laboured in Ceylon for over fifty years, speaking at a meeting of the Royal Asiatic Society, Ceylon Branch, held on January 26, 1888, observed, in reference to the Paper read on that day, as follows :—” The obvious reason why the marriage customs of the Muhammadans were mainly Tamil was due to the fact, that most of the proselytes made by Muhammadans in South India and Ceylon were from the Tamil race.”

That’s right make it up as you go along. Kindly prove what you have said about the reason for the massacre of Muslims was because a Hindu temple. Give us credible links.
Those filthy terrorists killed for no reason:
“The Kattankudy Mosque Massacre was the killing of over 147[2] Muslim men and boys in a Mosque in Kattankudy, Sri Lanka by cadres of the militant separatist group LTTE on August 3, 1990.[2][3][4][5][6] It took place when around 30 Tamil rebels raided four mosques in the town of Kattankudy, where over 300 people were prostrating in Isha prayers.”
And
“They also began attacking Muslim villages, and burning their shops and homes, suspecting them of supporting the government.[citation needed] On July 24, Tamil Tiger cadres murdered four Muslims at a mosque in the Batticaloa District. On July 29, Tiger cadres killed 10 worshipers in Sammanthurai, 25 miles east of the town of Batticaloa.[4]
In August 1990, they issued a warning to the citizens of Kattankudy, a majority Muslim town 140 miles east of Colombo, the capital city of Sri Lanka.[4] The warning stated that they should vacate the town “or face death”.[6] At the time, of the 60,000 residents of the relatively prosperous Kattankudy, 90 per cent were Muslim.[8]”

1. Veeramunai massacre 1991. More than 56 tamil people have been butchers in sinthu thurai pillayar kovil. Cut by swords.later burnt when semi live. By Muslim home guards.
2. Vantharumoolai massacre.more than 156 people was cut and shot and burnt. Women were raped.it was a joined operation by SMARMY AND MUSLIM home guards.
3. Numerous educated tamils were caught and killed athe mutur jetty and town by group called them as JIHAD. THAT MADE tamils to loose their presence in mutur.
4. In 1990 Thiraikerni several people killed by Muslim home guards. The whole village was ruined after that.
5. In 1990 when Trinco tamils ran for safety to North via kuchchavely all their belongings were savaged by this muslim scams.
These aresults very few. If you want I can give you with all in chronological order with witness details. These were the causes for LTTE’S reaction. Only muslim’s losses were came out because of government ‘s effort to tarnish LTTE as terrorist. They used their propaganda machinary as a government. But tamil’s massacre were suppressed by government. No in dependant investigation were conducted.
Even after doing all attrocities muslims were in an advantages position with government.

Expulsion of Muslims from the Northern province by LTTE
The expulsion of the Muslims from the Northern province was an act of ethnic cleansing[1] carried out by the Tamil militant Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) organisation in October 1990. Due to increasing tensions between the Muslims (Moors) and Tamils in the North Sri Lanka and the Muslim opposition to the creation of a Tamil homeland, the LTTE forcibly expelled the 72,000 strong Muslim population from the Northern Province.
The first expulsion was in Chavakacheri, of 1,500 people. After this, Muslims in Kilinochchi and Mannar were forced many to leave their homeland. The turn of Jaffna came on October 30, 1990; when LTTE trucks drove through the streets ordering Muslim families to assemble at Osmania College. There, they were told to exit the city within two hours. The entire Muslim population was expelled from Jaffna. According to a 1981 census (the last official count), the total Muslim population in Jaffna was 14,844. In total, over 14,400 Muslim families, roughly 72,000 people, were forcibly evicted from LTTE-controlled areas of the Northern Province.[6] This includes 38,000 people from Mannar, 20,000 from Jaffna and Kilinochchi, 9,000 from Vavuniya and 5,000 from Mullaitivu.[7]
Now LTTE apologists are trying to justify all the crimes against the Sinhalese and the Tamils, by lies here, including these crimes:

Have you seen srilankan naval chief’s open verdict in medias. Muslims aided the army to destroy tamil struggle in great extent. So knowing that you are working against them LTTE must have resorted to this decision. Also the actions of eastern muslim home guards was a inducing factor. With limited manpower ltte must not have been in a position to face several frontiers .many tamil civilians hate this decision but they were not in a position to influence. Their wrong decision for whatever the reason have caused the drastic rift between tamil muslim relationship.

What happened in katthankudy and Eravur are cruel killings. By whatever the reasons these kind of acts can be justified. But, at the same time muslims can’t claim that those hands are clean.they have the blood stain of the innocent tamils of East in their hands. Even Mr. Shamal perera have accepted it as a direct witness. Their claim of tamil lives in east may amount several folds when comparing to the LTTE’s offences. Not only killings but land grabs , rapes , forced conversion, etc. How many tamil dominated areas or mixed areas have become solely muslim areas now. Mutur Akkaraipattu several areas of kalmunai. …..on the dead bodies of tamils you built your shops. Whenever tamils had difficult times you encroached their business places .you will not allow any other society to do business in your area but you will do in other’side places. In face book I have seen muslims do propaganda for mass breeding and to avoid contraception targeting to become a major community in srilanka .is it Taquia?
I propose srilankan government to. Make preventive actions for not to allow these corrupt noninnocent community from taking over srilanka even though in distant future. That doesnt mean what going on now.but have discussions and planning and protect other societies from this people’s nasty goals. Please bring anti conversion bills. Limit birth ratio to 2 child for family. Monitor all religious institutions. Please make srilanka independent of middle east coolie income generation. Make people’s get chances for their merits not for their identity
Make all schools in common language English. ( Not to allow religious or language based dividing ).

I cant speak about home guards in the north and east but i can tell you that i know several up country tamils who told me that muslims in the hill region participated in several anti tamil riots like 1983 and ones before that. A tamil tea estate superintendant insists that he recognized several rioters as being muslim. One muslim told my grandfather back in the 1950s (mistaking him for a muslim) that the anti tamil riots back in the 50s were a good thing for muslims as they could expand and claim territories.

Ralli bin Balli, what innocence. Have you heard about what members of the armed forces have said about atrocities committed by Muslim home guards. They said that the worst crimes were committed on Tamils by them than what LTTE did to Muslims. Since Sinhalese feel that with this track record, armed Muslims will unleash terror on them, no government will in future supply arms to Muslims. Wait and see very soon there will be a search to recover arms supplied to Muslims in the past, and all those home guards will be kept under surveillance. According to Buddhism, if you commit a crime, you have to pay for it someday.

My uncle predicted way back during the LTTE ceasefire period in the early 2000s. That muslims would be targetted in the future. A Sinhalese neighbour once told me round about that same time that sinhalese will go after muslims some day. He was a great follower of the late Soma thero who was known back then for speaking against muslims. I spoke to several muslims back then about this and they were confident it would never happen. Saying that they have the support of powerful islamic nations and that Sri Lanka would not dare to upset them. Seems they were totally wrong on that front.

Encyclopedia of Invasions and Conquests from Ancient Times to the Modern
Paul K. Davis – 1996
King Parakrama Bahu VIII hoped to use the Europeans to secure his position against threats from the Tamil peoples in the northern part of the island, the highland king of Kandy, and the Moors.
There is a misconception among the Muslims that their ancestors settled in Lanka peacefully. Sinhala records and world History records a different story. From Around the 7-8 Ad, Islamic forces controlled controlled the spice routes from Indonesia to Europe via Jerusalam and Constantinople ( Now Istanbul ) . The 300 year Crusades saw the Islam repulsed from Europe and the Middle-east. Most of these traders and boatmen ( marrakala ) – arrived in South Asia as invaders. Taking over what was to become India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Maldives. Lanka narrowed avoided the same fate.
When Almeida arrived in 1505, Kotte was overrun by Moors. shortly afterwards the Portuguese starting persecuting the Moors -who fled into the central regions; where the King Senarat ( hostile to the Kotte kings ) provided them with refuge. This is how the Moors who are 95 % south Indians, made their way into the middle of the country.
Sinhalese have no one to blame but themselves. Muslims should have never been awarded citizenship in 1948. They are as Alien to the Govigama/ Karava ethos as the Indians ( both British era and Prior arrivals ) The rise of Islam in Lanka is the final nail in the coffin for this Island. Either Sinhala break the back of the Catholic, Tamil, Muslim nexus or these groups will bury the Sinhalese.

You say when crusader’s repulsed Islamic traders they came to Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka and at the same time says Moor are 95% South Indians and that means South Indian controlled the spice traders. You donkey do you know what is Crusade and real history? Indians and Sri Lankans 90% barbarians at that time. It was Muslims who came before Europeans and civilized you. Example see the Sinhalese. Muslims stood for unitary state, stood with Sinhalese getting killed and ethnically cleansed. When the ceremonial forces of Sinhalese getting hammered by Israeli and Indian trained LTTE, it was Muslim Pakistan who came forward seeing the danger to Sinhalese and Muslim and trained our in modern warfare in Pakistan and opening seven camps. Most probably you Tamil terrorist or Sinhalese racist knows this. What makes us Muslim sad here is about 20% Sinhalese racist back stabbing and the Government not doing anything which mean still barbaric blood running in them..
/
Dr. Gnana Sankaralingam / March 10, 2018
Ralli Ameen you are an outright racist to say that when Muslims (Arabs) came to Sri Lanka and India people were barbarians. Oldest civilisation in the world is Dravidian at which time Arabs, Persians and other Muslim ancestors were nomads without any civilisation. Oldest language is Tamil followed by Sanskrit (none of the current languages spoken by Muslims are within the first ten) and during this time all Muslim ancestors were using sign language. Even in Sri Lanka there is evidence of Sinhala civilisation of more than 2000 years old, and recently a civilisation was discovered in Settikulam of more than 10,000 years old. Can you show in what way Arabs contributed to these. It is the Muslim invaders who stand accused of destroying other civilisations and not other way about. See the barbaric way the Muslims are behaving in other parts of the world, and in what way is it different from what took place in Sri Lanka. People like you who are preaching hatred by telling lies and making false allegations should be sent to prison.
/
Ranjan Fernando / March 13, 2018
One little correction doctor.
You say the Sinhala civilisation is 2000 years old! Unfortunate fact is the Sinhala language originated only since 900 AD as a written language. Therefore it’s impossible to have a Sinhala civilisation earlier than that though our historians conveniently muddle the history prior to that era. Of course Buddhism was in this country since 300BC and therefore a Buddhist civilisation existed. Increasingly there are now archeological evidences emerging since Kantharodai and settikulam explorations that this Buddhist civilisation spoke a Dravidian language and from all the inscriptions available it was Tamil, as it was most established and spoken and written language of the era and the region.
Soon the historians will have to rewrite the history of the island!
/
Shenal / March 10, 2018
Ralli Ameen,
If you thinks that Indians and Sinhalese were barbarians before Muslims, you should better check your brain for the bigotness. It is a known fact that Muslims took the knowledge of the Indians and Persians and then rebranded it as their own before the Europeans. I challenge you to show me one groundbreaking Muslim invention during the middle ages.
Pakistan came to Sri Lanka’s rescue not because they are benevolent but because they saw us as a bulwark against Indian expansionism. But we should still be thankful for them for their timely support during the 1999-2000 period. After all Pakistani Muslims will not see Sri Lankan Muslims as their equals despite the religion. You should consider that fact as well before commenting.
Finally, the reason for Muslims to not requesting a federal solution is that Muslims in Sri Lanka didn’t have a sizable majority in any area just as now. It wouldn’t have mattered to the Muslims living in Sri Lanka whether they were governed by a unitary state or a federal state as they would always be the minority among the majority population. That is why still Muslim leaders seek federal type setup only for the townships around Potuwil area as they know otherwise Muslims will be the minority population anywhere.

The Muslim home guards’ conduct is mostly known to the Tamil victims and the three forces of the country. As a former serviceman, I know for a fact how they used to treat Tamils. But one must also realize that Tamils are a shameless race. And the thing called Gratitude is unknown to them.
It is the servicemen who kept a check on those HGs. They used to rape Tamil girls and convert them when they are in distress. They used to chase away every Tamil business person when there is competition. They used to forcibly reside on Tamil lands and then go to the Kachcheri and try to adjust land deeds or create “Hora Oppu”.

With you in mind and your liberal hatred towards the Tamils, one cannot be incredulous to those wicked atrocities perpetrated against the Tamils. The more you write, the more people will be convinced as to the calibre of the Sri Lanka military.

You ought to be aware of the fact that Sri Lankan establishment’s long term strategic interest is to keep Tamil, Sinhalese and Muslim community divided.

As the riots worsened the former Chief of the navy and present Chief of Defence Staff Ravindra Wijegunaratne warned the rioters not to harm Muslims because they had provided immense help towards war efforts, being Tamil speakers they seemed to have provided vital intelligence when the armed forces desperately needed them.

Was he thanking the Muslims or placing a wedge deeply into a strategic position? Now the stupid Muslims start expecting the Sinhalese to behave themselves while the stupid Tamils start fuming, “see the truth is out now which we knew for a long time”.

Oh yes they hate the Tamils because Ponnambalam Ramanathan one single Tamil went to UK to fight for the Sinhalese leaders but loved the Sinhalese who killed and rioted against them in 1915 , that they sided with them in their anti Tamil pogroms , killings murders and war crimes. Do they love the Sinhalese now too and still hate the Tamils with whom they share a common language, culture origin and ethnicity? I think they love the Arab most , especially their primitive ways and the black sacks they cover their women with.

The only terrorists to soak Sri Lanka in blood are the Sinhalese state the Sinhala armed forces and police and the Sinhalese establishment. No one else and they have not learnt and are still continuing to do so. The Tamils reacted to this state sponsored terrorism to protect what little they had that the Sinhalese and opportunistic Muslims did not plunder from them. Now the Sinhalese state and establishment have ironically started to soak the Sri Lankan soil with blood of their former allies the Muslims, in the Tamil genocide and this stupid author if this article has not learnt his lesson and is crying foul , begging the Sinhalese not to touch the Muslims , who were their former allies but to kill more Tamils. The Sinhalese are doing his bidding killing more Tamils but not of the Hindu or Christian faith but if the Islamic faith. It has been proven beyond doubt many times the Sri Lankan Muslims are hardly of Moor or Arab descent but overwhelmingly of Tamil descent. Hindu Tamils from South India who converted to Islam around the 12Th /13Th centuries . The sooner they accept this truth and reconcile with their fellow Hindu/Christian Tamils and give up their Arab origin Arabian nights fantasy the better it will be for everyone to stop this Sinhalese Buddhist fascist march. The Arabs are racist to the core and do not care two hoots about them. They do not care about their fellow Arabs in Iraq, Syria , Palestine and are bombing their fellow Arabs in Yemen to bits , as they will care about this South Indian coverts to Islam. Nor will the Malays Indonesians Turks or other Muslim nations. Muslims Turks are killing Muslim Kurds. Malays treat the Indian Muslims as second class in Malaysia.

Honestly Idroos next time if there ever be such an attack ,I can bet my life ,the only Muslims who will suffer and even face death are those who are isolated in none Muslim areas who are mostly in small numbers as it will be impossible even for friends and neighbours to protect them from such attacks.
But in Muslim populated areas it will not be the same next time ,it will be a fight to death and most probably the bloodbath will be worse .
It will definitely happen in a large Scale if The Rajapakshe regime is back in power..
It might still happened if SLFP or UNP comes to power or the present gov. comes back. .
There are three hopes to recover Sri Lana’s image .1), JVP Takes over and establish a truly Strict secular Socialist system .2) The present government brings in a new Constitution (Which I doubt as The President seems under some pressure and threat via MR’s MPs within the gov….3) A Sir John Kothelawala is reborn ,and the closest one I see towards him is no doubt Sarath Fonseka.
This is possible if the politicians of all parties and races join hands with JVP in next general election and manage a form a majority party with JVP and SF as executive PM ,change the constitution .yes ,Then we will progress. may happen .because a large block of Muslins votes are reserved for JVP ,and SF…((only if SF leaves UNP): no party can break that .Muslim parties can either consider joining the JVP or kiss goodbye their political future, There won’t be any by 2020

Last year Canada celebrated 150th anniversary of the confederation. Canada’s first prime minister John Mcdonald bragged that the indigenous population was being kept on the verge of actual starvation in order to save govt funds. Canadian Bureaucrat Duncan Cambell Scott detailed his desire to get rid of the Indian problem. South African officials visited Canada to study the system of reserves and residential schools taking home ideas to be incorporated into apartheid.
The same things are being done that were done 150 years ago only with less blatant violence. We still have missing and murdered. Girls on a daily basis are still missing, being murdered. We have mass incarceration, we have unsafe drinking water, the list goes on and on and on.
You can also ask Trudeau to not to interfere in Sri Lanka’s internal affairs just to get some Tamil votes in some Canadian cities. Not to pamper the Tamil funanciers of terror in Sri Lanka who have overnight converted to human rights crusaders.

1) When Sri Lanka team involved in Cricket, Muslims of Sri Lanka supported Cricket teams from Muslim countries.
2) Hijab and covering by black colour is not the practise or custom of Muslims in Sri Lanka time immemorial and suddenly started doing so in order to show solidarity with Muslims in Arabian Penninsula or Arab World as the colour black is considered by the majority as the colour of the Ghost.
3) Killing cows, bulls, buffaloes for meat much to the dismay of the Majority.
4) Using loudspeakers to call for prayers, which is not required in the present circumstances.
5) Forming political parties on racial basis and voting on racial basis.
6) Destroying Buddhist Archeological sites in Sampoor, Kuragala, and other sites in North and East.

This racist if still can’t see political solution as a freedom to peaceful life to minority races, but thinking pledging more of Tamils’ heads to penetrate Sinhala towns, then it will not bring relief to Muslims. If Muslims are to be left alone by Sinhalese Majority government, the ignorant writer, “a Muslims Gnanam”, should stay out of stirring more the pond.

The refugees flight to Canada was flew by a Tamil Piolet, was categorized as LTTE. He is no Canadian. He is no Muslims. He did not fly his company Planes. He had to take flight training to fly planes he used take the refugees.
Further the dumb head is not thinking it’s not Canadian Whites nor even Israelis are killing in Syria. It is only “Nishthars Idrooses” are killing in Syria. It is not accident, it is apparently intentional this guy never had written an essay on, but when Sinhala Mobs attack Lankawe Muslims, he is writing an essay about LTTE.
This rubbish writer should be ashamed to bringing the Syrian refugees and Trudeau kind heart for his opportunistic hate campaign. The man talking about the Kind heart of Trudeau, but not mentioning its Canada bought the First (May 2009) resolution against Muslims-Sinhala Government’s genocide in UNHRC. He is not ready to mention Canada is the first country officially declared the UN SG’s Expert Panel’s reports is authoritative and UNHRC has to act on it. Still it is Canada leading in dismissing Hakeem’s fake National Action Plan and demanding the current Sharia-Yahapalanaya government to implement the resolution 30/1.

It is not impertinency essentially marring his essay, but his Wahhabi Salafi extremism ruling throughout his essay, is completely invalidating the essay. The writers is holding his umbrella for the rain in desert Israel, but missed torrential out pour in Mullivaaikkaal. He is proudly claiming the traitor service to the Muslim Sinhala Government’s 150,000 Tamils murders, for which it is under UNHRC for war crime investigation. His evidence citing of Israel is missing and example which is at least even one 1000th of the Mullivaaikkaal magnitude.
His example is full of singing the fame of The Muslims servitude to Lankawe government, Pakistan and Middle East and spreading.
Two Issue outside of this essay:
Let first look at the minor issue where Western governments’ and Sampanthar’s contribution to this. During the 2015 CC election, we have written many comments all over CT of West’s attempt to power change, which, as in the Sinhala Saying, if turns out to be success, only changing the pillow to head ache.
A child touching the fire should be taught that fire can burn. A Child picking an ant should be left to learn that ant can bite. Where to stop and where to allow is comes from Tamils’ 70 years of their political negotiations with Sinhala governments. By overriding Tamils’ experience West stopped a valuable lessons the Sinhala society should have learned in Jan 2015. Because West lost on for its quarter-hearted Ponny’s bid in 2010 election, it came back halfhearted on 2015 bid. If the West had lost in 2015 too, now it would know what the full solution to Lankawe’s ethnic problems is. By fetching the Tamils support to bring the New King, today Sampanthar too have contributed to Kandy riots.

The West and Sampanthar changed the people, but not the power. It is not “donkey gone and horse came” as Sampanthar and West pretended; it is the same donkey came back but with a makeup for its mane.
The other one is 1915 Muslim -Sinhala riot is these days misinterpreted to Muslims by unscrupulous leaders and writers of Muslim society. Ramanathan brought Justice to Lankawe with his might. He said Tamils and Muslims are one. While Ramanathan helping Don Stephen, he assured his guardianship to Muslims by insisting that Tamils and Muslims are one. This came from his matured heart and statesman standing. Don Stephen quickly understood that when Sinhalese lost, Ramanathan showed his might and balanced them; but he would not sit down and watch When Don Stephen launch another war against Muslims and win, because he treated Muslims as one in him. So dividing the mighty Tamils from Muslims and destroying them first will be only way to come back deal with Muslims. He died on accident. But he successfully divided Muslims from Tamils.
Hakeem went to UNHRC with the Sinhala Supporting actresses for Old Royals. They are the one now in this. For Muslim leaders’ mistake, conveniently blaming Israel or stateless Tamils is not a path to solution. There will be no easy solution for Tamils and Muslims at this time. Muslim Writers thinking to milk more out from skin to milked cow, LTTE, is only going to bring disappointment for them. Being opportunistic and sowing more hate against Tamils will not make Muslims to realize their past mistakes. When Muslims and Sinhalese fought, Ramanathan balanced them both and brought peace. When Tamil and Sinhalese fought Muslims spied against Tamils to commit war crime. Three fingers point at you when you show one finger. Is Sinhalese only faithless for Muslims service or they both are faithless to Tamils?

What about this “Tamil and Sinhala” fighting? You mean when Sri Lanka fought the LTTE? You expected the Muslims to join the terrorists eh?
After the Kattankuddy Mosque massacre and this?
“The expulsion of the Muslims from the Northern province was an act of ethnic cleansing[1] carried out by the Tamil militant Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) organisation in October 1990. Due to increasing tensions between the Muslims (Moors) and Tamils in the North Sri Lanka and the Muslim opposition to the creation of a Tamil homeland, the LTTE forcibly expelled the 72,000 strong Muslim population from the Northern Province
How about being realistic?

Muslims need to organize and rally towards a R2P (Right 2 Protect) from Sinhala hooligans organized by failed politicians and their co-horts.
Its a shame that none of the Muslim leaders like Fauzis, Hakeems., Faizers and Athaulla etc., a bunch of perverts and rogues do only care about their ill gotten money and no solidarity with poor folks.
They need to organize and take the cause to International sphere and get all Muslim states like West Asian states with SL foreign employers and get a signal to GOSL that enough is enough.

Who are the victims? Sinhala Buddhist and Sinhala Muslim. It is them who died, got injured and lost property?
Tamils and other Indians are not hurt.
The victims will not be able to seek asylum out side country as more than half a million Tamils and other Indians managed to do so and are still doing so.
These Tamil and Indian asylums seekers are being sent back by Japan Australia Canada etc.
So guess who is behind all thesese?
