The ugly head of Islamic radicalization which has been plaguing Kattankudy for many years, has once again raised its head to terrorize innocent civilians in the area, with the latest incident seeing several people severely injured due to a clash between two groups, including the radical Thawheed Jamath, where the groups attacked each other with swords and knives on Friday during a lecture.However, despite the attempts to spread the radicalization, a large number of Muslims took to the streets today to protest the recent clash while demanding that the groups with the radical mindset leave and let the residents live in peace. Both old and young, including men and women holding placards demanded that ‘Wahabi terrorism’ stop.
“We want peace, we do not want Wahabi terrorism,” the demonstrators said.
Since the sword attack, police complaints have been lodged, and the police are carrying out investigations into the incident. Incidentally, on Sunday, two petrol bombs were also recovered from Karbala Road, Kattankudy. The bombs were discovered by a woman who was cleaning, and the police were later alerted on the discovery. It is still not clear if the bombs had any direct connection to the sword clash.
Meanwhile, a group by the name of Ex Muslims of Sri Lanka (EMSL) called on the government and the defense authorities to take firm measures to free the nation completely from radical Islamic terrorist elements.
“Under the excuse of “Islamic Missionary”, Sri Lankan Muslims are being indoctrinated with a fundamentalist, hateful and terrorist ideology by groups, organizations and individuals who are receiving foreign funds,” the group said.
The group went on to claim in a statement that one of the Islamic factions that was directly involved in the Friday violence is a pro ISIS – Islamic State organization, with members and supporters all around the Island. “The activities and preaching of such organizations have become a threat to the existence of ex Muslims around Kattankudy area,” EMSL said.
“The government and the defense authorities should pay strict attention and take serious actions against the activities of the foreign-funded Islamic groups, organizations, individuals and other elements in Sri Lanka, which directly and indirectly preach and support terrorism, fundamentalism and hatred among Sri Lankan Muslims. The general public including the peace loving Muslims should give their fullest support and cooperation to the government and the defense authorities by providing all the information and details known to them regarding the above matter,” the statement added.

The issue is Qatar and Saudi funded NGO scum pumping billions of rupees to spread Arabic culture among Sri Lankan Muslims. The idiotic government can’t do anything about it even if they needed because the economy is in brink of collapse. The country is slowing sliding back to the pre 2009 era of political instability and stagnating economic growth.

Real Siva Sankaran Sarma / March 15, 2017
This is because the Southern Muslim elite and all idiotic Sinhalese led Sri Lankan governments from the time of independence for their own selfish benefit/power and also to contain and divide and rule the island’s Tamils had brain washed the island’s Muslim masses to hate and deny their actual Tamil origin culture and heritage and worship everything remotely connected with Arabs and Arab culture.
This despite the Arabs disowning them ,treating them like dirt and classifying them as low caste South Asian converts to Islam.
In the south and east all Sinhalese led governments encouraged Muslim extremism and hatred towards non Muslims Tamils and even tried to this in the north but the LTTE put a stop to it.
They thought by using these immigrant Indian Tamil converts to Islam, who only came to the north and the east a few centuries ago as refugees, they can contain the indigenous Tamils and their fight for justice and self determination in their own land. Now they have a far bigger problem of their own creation and are blinking.
At least the Sinhalese and Tamil had an ancient history in the island and belong to the land. Now due to Sinhalese hatred towards the Tamils, these immigrant Muslims from South India are going to take over large chunks of Tamil land with Arab help

Sinhalese should be Tamils or controlled by Tamils to solve the ethnic problem…

Real Siva Sankaran Sarma / March 15, 2017
No you will prefer then to be Arabs and the Sinhalese to be Aryans , in order to divide and rule and make the entire island a Sinhalese Buddhist ghetto .
Ethnic problem? Only problem here is with the Sinhalese and Muslims , who are believing fairy tales and creating problems. One pretending to be Aryan and the other Arab and do not want to face the truth that both people are largely descended from low caste Indian Tamil immigrants. The truth is not palatable so they are with the fairies and creating all sorts of problems., Islam is a religion and not an ethnicity anyone can be Muslim even you No such thing called a Muslim race or ethnicity.
The Malays and Borah are also Muslim by religion but identify themselves correctly by their ethnicity , so should the so called Sri Lankan Muslims or Moors. They are descended from Tamil Hindus who converted to Islam. This makes them Tamil., Not Arab or Moor,. A few may have some Arab or other ancestry, this still does not make them Arab or Moor.
The sooner you stop believing in myths/fairly tales and accept reality, the lesser the problems. Lots of misery had happened in this world by idiots like you who believed or still believe in racist/religious myths. EG. Nazi Gernany Serbia Rwanda. Even Sri Lanka with its Sinhalese Buddhist Mahavamsa myth. Now Islamic fundamentalism in the middle east

Real Siva Sankaran,
I have spotted you talking about castes and diving Muslims from Arabs. Well, Arabs are not Muslims, but majority of Arabs are Muslims. You also show very often that you have been suffering from inferiority complex.
So you are funny Hindus descending from Tamil Nadu originally, does it add some pride in you to call ourselves also descendant of those Indian Tamils? If this helps you in anyway, we have no issues, we are so generous taught by our great religion, Islam.
So leave it as it is, let me ask you some question, what have you done so far to get a justice for MR killing your innocent people? What have you done for IC ignoring or not giving priority to your people or identity? (You think there is a caste issues in IC as well? LOL) What have you done for your own people getting ignored and not given any importance to their issues by SL Govt? What have you done for reducing your own ‘boat people’ becoming preys for sharks? What have you done to avoid your own people getting badges as credit card skimmers, murders and all other mean terms on them?
So start to dignify your own community before trying to talk about others backyards

Mad woman blabbering and do not make any sense. Basically you do not want to accept your actual Indian Tamil origin.
Who is dividing Muslims from Arabs? Who said all Arabs are Muslims? No one.
He only correctly stated that Sri Lankan Muslims now calling themselves Sri Lankan Moors,are not descended from Arabs or Moors, as they claim but are largely and overwhelmingly descended from low caste Indian Tamil Hindus who converted to Islam. This is a fact and every one in their hearts including the Sri Lankan Muslims know this is true but just like you do not want to admit to this and jump up and down abusing anyone who dares to state the obvious truth, with the hope of shutting them up and the myth to remain.
How many Sri Lankan Muslims even remotely look like Arabs? Not even 10000-20000 out of a population of 1.9 Million. This small population of around 1%-2% does not denote an Arab or Moorish ancestry but a few who have some distant Arab ancestor.
Stating the obvious is not dividing the Sri Lankan Muslims from the Arabs as they had never been Arabs. They are South Asians who converted to Islam. You seem to confusing Islam with Arabs. Most Muslims in the world are not Arabs they are largely from the Indian subcontinent and Indonesia. Being Buddhist is not being Indian or being Christian is not being Jewish.

Rohan do you belongs to eat and defecate there itself type like Real Siva Sankaran. May be because you are a supporter of his theory. If you go to Oman majoriy are dark skinned and also some having African facial futures. If you go to Yemen you can see majority of people who looks like not only Moors but other Sri Lankans too. If you go to other Middle-east countries you can see people with facial futures of Indians and Sri Lankans (not the expatriate workers). Some Arabs in these countries look exactly like us if not for their costumes but they are called Arabs. You go to Mexico, you can see people having Sri Lankan facial futures, you go to Bangladesh the people look likes Sri Lankan. Middle-eastern and south eastern people are more mixed than the European and Chinese (including Japan etc.) people. You are a frog in the well. Your googled races are not same in reality. Just study the facts and write. Ceylon Moors are of separate ethnicity. You go to villages in southern and western parts of the country and speak to them. You will understand only half of what they are speaking. They do not speak pure Tamil language unlike the Tamils unless they are Tamil educated and living in Tamils villages. During independent Tamil politicians tried their best to include Muslims as Tamils so they have a good majority but that failed. So however much you drum now Muslim are of different ethnicity. They may say they are from Arab descent or mixed descent or just for pride but that is not an issue now. They are Sri Lankan like every other race.
/
Rohan / March 21, 2017
Lots of Arabs are dark some due to Negroid mixture others are dark Semites , however the still look different from the Sri Lankan Muslims who look exactly like Indians.
DNA analysis on so called Sri Lankan Moors have proven they are genetically no different from the island’s Sinhalese or Tamils and area very closely related to the South Indians and this includes the South Indian Muslims. There is very little Arab DNA amongst the Sri Lankan Muslims. Below average. Whom are you trying to fool.
Read this article from Colombo Telegraph
https://www.colombotelegraph.com/index.php/sri-lankan-muslims-are-low-caste-tamil-hindu-converts-not-arab-descendants/
Most of you are low caste Hindu converts to Islam largely from then Tamil Malabar and Tamil Nadu regions of India., with no Arab blood. Very few of you have Arab blood, what we see today it would appear that they internalised the traditions of Arab descent into their faith system, identifying with Arabia as their putative place of origin. Surprisingly, compared to converts from other Indian communities, to Islam who strictly still observe caste, Tamils Muslims have ‘the least pronounced hereditary stratification’ along caste lines.
Central aspiration of the Muslims in contemporary Sri Lanka, according to McGilvray, is their desire to develop a non-Tamil identity based on Islam.14 Radically-shifting political developments ‘have made them realize that their interest lies in holding fast to the religion of Islam and not to any ethnic category’
Islam has been radically successful in giving a faith-based identity to its adherents at the level of both the masses and the elites, wherever they may be around the globe. The Muslim elites centred in south Sri Lanka are aware of this trend, and thus have opted to push the Muslim masses to vigorously seek a religious identity to build up their ethnic identity and to renounce their primordial Tamil identity traits
One major imperative driving the Muslim elite decision to seek a non-Tamil identity is their business orientation. The Muslim elites were aware of the trade-related consequences that could follow if they intentionally assimilated with the Tamils. Hence the elites centred in the south opted to co-operate with the Sinhalese authorities and to this end they deliberately constructed and promoted a non-Tamil identity for the Muslims of Sri Lanka

Ralli Ameen / March 23, 2017
My comment was edited out because of more than 300 words so I will make it shorter now:
1) Rohan, Moors might say they are from Arab descent or mixed descent or just for pride but that is not an issue now. Now we are established as separate ethnicity so you cannot make us Tamils.
2) I said majority of races in North Africa, Middle-east, India Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are of mixed origin but your IQ is low and your brain could not analyse that.
3) Most genetic scientist say DNA test for race is a hype. All Human beings have same set of DNA and variation within it is global. Race are social construct and not natural genetic. Only parents and their children can be identified because they will have same variation. A Moor’s genetic variation (not 100% similar) can be found in Middle-east, Africa, India or anywhere in the globe. So you cannot make Moors Tamil converts based on that.
4) It is the feeling passed on for generation that we Moors are of separate ethnicity (of course mixed) and however much you try you cannot change it and we will never feel we are Tamil. We identify race by their social construct and since Moors were here for more than 700 years, by inter-marriage, mixing with converts, 70% of Arab’s social practice were dropped and had adapted to native languages and social practices. Moors food were completely distinct and also eat adapted foods like, Kiribath, pittu, hopers, string hoppers but never Thosai, Ittli etc. If they like they will buy from Tamil’s Hotels and eat.
5) Of course Moors aspiration is based on Islam and even other Muslims same. Ethnicity is a different subject.. Business orientation is inborn in them not inherited from Tamils.

Dividing Muslims from Arabs! You are Muslim but Tamil and not Arab so where is this so called imagined division. Islam originated in Saudi Arabia but this does not mean, all Muslims are Arabs. Most Muslims are not Arabs and many Muslims like Turks, Iranians, Kurds do not like Arabs.
Lots of irrelevant and stupid comments. Tamils are in this position not because of them but because of Sinhalese racists largely aided and abetted by Muslims devils like you, who killed raped looted and ethnically cleansed them. Do not try to blame the victim for their plight and exonerate the perpetrator of the crime. This is what you are doing, you nasty evil person.

I do not have to divide. Have you ever been to the Arabian Gulf to seen how Arabs treat non Arab Muslims, especially South Asian Muslims like you? Like dirt. This is why they falsely implicated a 16 year old poor Tamil Muslims housemaid from eastern Sri Lanka of Murder and brutally killed her.
When her lawyers asked for clemency and special treatment as Sri Lankan Muslims are of Arab descent, they came back stating they are not, it is just a myth and like most South Asian Muslims they are descended from low caste Hindu converts. Basically they stated they are descended low caste Tamil Hindus, who converted to Islam to escape the caste system. It is not what I stated but your Arab masters whom you and the rest of the Sri Lankan Muslims foolishly worship. Not even a single local Muslim organisation or politician did anything to help this poor unfortunate soul, as they were afraid of displeasing their Arab masters. Typical low caste mentality. Only Sinhalese and Tamil politicians and organisations were protesting and raising their concern
This incident is not isolated. I have worked there for six years in the Gulf and can still speak Arabic and very fluent Hindi and have witnessed how Arabs treat non Arabs even if they are Muslims. They only worship westerners and treat them differently. I was luck as I worked for an international British company. Go and get your facts correct instead of howling here. Where were4 you when all this happened. Busy worshipping Arab coca like all the other Sri Lankan Muslims?

I can guarantee Ceylon Moors are not from Indian Tamil stock for one obvious reason. May be they are from Sinhala stock with some mixing and the proof is Ceylon Moors and Sinhalese always go to latrine or covered places to answer the their call over nature. Tamils in India defecate in any open place they find. If you go in the train in the morning you can see people defecating openly all along on the sides. You can see on the payments, big drains etc. This is a good cultural proof Ceylon Moors are not Tamil converts from India.

Pandikuttuy / March 21, 2017
No they are descended from little pandikutties from the cheris of Tamil Nadu. This why they grunt in Tamil and wallow in mud. Mad person people who are descended from Sinhalese and Moors, did not speak either Sinhalese or Berber/Arabic but started to miraculously grunt in an Indian Tamil dialect( not even Sri Lankan Tamil ) and follow customs. Whom are you trying to fool you converted low caste from Tamil Nadu.
Useless liars now trying give themselves airs and a false heritage claiming superiority over the Tamils, from whose low castes they are largely descended from.
It is a very common practice amongst subcontinental Muslims to claim exclusive Arab, Persian, Afghan, Mughal or other Central Asian origin, to hide their real largely low caste Hindu origin, as they think it makes them look good to the rest of the world. They will go to any lengths to prove this and defend this myth. The vast majority of the present day Muslims from the Indian subcontinent are largely descended from Hindu low castes who converted to Islam to escape the caste system. Only a very small minority are fully a partially descended from Arabs Iranian Afghan, Mughal or other central Asian immigrants. If you go to places like UP many Muslims have changed their family name to Khan and then claim Central Asian or Afghan origin. In reality most of these so called Khans are descended from low caste Hindu converts.

Even the westerners talk about it. Only rotten races have this shameless habit. I am not trying to air false heritage to claim superiority but the facts. I can write hundreds of Tamil’s rotten practices but space does not permit. Our Prophet said no race is superior to another race and Allah has created every tribes equal and that teaching is in every Muslim’s blood. It is the rotten Tamils like you Pandikutty, Siva etc (I do not know these writers are really Tamils) always write Moors are low caste Tamil converts. At least for argument sake if they write Moors are Tamil converts it has some respect. These shows what a lowly human beings these tree climbing Tamils are. A gentlemanly Tamil will never comment like this. So when you tree climbing, labourer type Tamils comment like these way, we are also compelled to comment these unpleasant way. But remember what i wrote were the truth.

Yes if their primary identity is Tamil as it really should be and they still followed their ancient form of Sufi Islam that their ancestors brought with them from South India and practised until a generation or two ago, instead of only claiming an Islamic identity and slavishly following everything barbaric from the Arabs, including their intolerant form of Wahhabi/Salafist Islam fundamentalism would have been controlled.
Unlike other Muslims, they discarded their ethnicity and heritage for political convenience and only wanted to be identified by their religion and an origin that was fake. In order to justify this, they discarded everything Tamil about them and also became very anti Tamil and slavishly started to imitate the Arabs and their brutal intolerant culture including their fundamental forms of Islam, dress code ETC.
If they had remained Tamil Muslims instead of a fake Moor identity, this would not have happened to a large extent. They have started to believe in this Arab origin Islamic myth and acted accordingly
/
Pandikutty / March 16, 2017
Tamil. culture is very tolerant and secular. It is live and let live. This is why Tamil Hindus and Christians , who strongly identify with the Tamil culture are very tolerant. However the Tamil Muslims in Sri Lanka do not identify with being Tamil or the Tamil culture but strongly identity themselves with the Arab and other western Asian, as well as Pakistani Islamic cultures, that are very intolerant and violent. This reflects in their way of thinking and behaviour. Very aggressive self centered and intolerant.,

SinhalaPropaganda / March 17, 2017
Tamils are not anti-Buddhist. It’s part of our heritage as well. It’s Sinhala racists who claim a monopoly on Buddha’s teachings which they’ve perverted for their nationalist politics. The Tamils have always called for a secular polity and when they called for Eelam the Vaddukoddai resolution clearly stated they were aiming for a secular state where all religions would be treated equally:
“that TAMIL EELAM shall be a secular state giving equal protection and assistance to all religions to which the people of the state may belong.”
It’s the Sinhala state that ties religion with race and gives primacy to Buddhism over all other religions in its constitution. They are forcing their religion on other people by erecting Buddhist statues all over predominately Tamil and Muslim areas. This sort of political Buddhism is a perversion and no different from Zionism.
Yes the Muslims were expelled not because of their religion but because of their alliance was with the Sinhalese.

Real Siva Sankaran Sarma / March 20, 2017
Oh Really, traditionally the Islam practised in Sri Lanka was until very recently the Indian form of Sufi Islam, that was very tolerant and does have many aspects of Hinduism fused into it. This is why it is tolerant and even many Hindus in India visit many Sufi Islam shrines.
Muslims in Sri Lanka are descended from immigrant Indian Tamil Hindus who converted to Islam , therefore when they migrated to the island they brought this 1000 year old Tamil form of Sufi Islam from their South Indian homeland. They are descended from Tamil Hindus just like the Tamil Christians and of course just like the Tamil Christians will follow the many of the Hindu practices of their Hindu Tamil ancestors. There is nothing new about this, all people do this. Many aspects of what you think is essentially western and Christian is not Christian at all but originated from pre Christian times. Eg dates and times Christmas and Easter is celebrated and many of the customs. They are all pre Christian festivals and customs now given a Christian flavour.

Even many aspects of Saudi Islam is pre Islamic. Eg the Kaaba. Please go and read before blabbering here. Female circumcision practised in many Islamic countries is pre Islamic.
As for the Islam practised in Saudi and Qatar the least said the better. It is a very fundamentalist medieval and horrible and barbaric form, more suitable to the middle ages not evolved for modern day. This is why even other Arabs oppose it where ever it is forcibly imposed, like in Syria. Iraq, Afghanistan( non Arab) they are fleeing in their millions not to Saudi Arabia or Qatar or to any other Muslim country but to the Christian west and also a lot to Hindu India. This speaks volumes.
Only idiotic Tamil Dravidian Sri Lankan Muslims brainwashed to think and worship Arabs want to impose this barbaric form of Islam and Arabise ancient Tamil lands.
Arabs are very racist. They treat all non Arabs even the Muslim ones who worship their coca like shit, especially the South Asian varieties. Go to the Gulf and seen for yourself. Instead of living in a dream

Raheema Zainab / March 22, 2017
Female circumcision practice is African origin. Only in some part of Africa all types of female mutilation is practice. When they embraced Islam this female circumcision (mutilation) did stop. Some Muslim from neighboring Muslim countries interacted with them this practice was burrowed and brought by some priest. This why priesthood is banned in Islam because there will rascals to twist and turn Islam and practice to their benefit. Its the minorities in some Muslim countries follow this practice.
Kaba definitely is pre-Islamic. It was during Prophet Ibrahim’s time became known to followers. Islam practiced in Saudi Arabia is the purest form, that is believing in a creator (Allah) who has no forms and neither man or women or that belongs anything to this material world. Then believe in Quran and follow Sunnah of Prophet (Even other Prophets like Jesus, Mosses etc. who preached the same things).
Arab or other Muslims do not have race or caste system. Even India Muslims do not have but they look for sect s. Shia and Ahmedis are concerned they are outcast cannot be called as Muslims because they do not follow Quran and Sunnah but their priest.

Strictly speaking Islam is not a religion, it is a political cult. Quran declares war on other religions by claiming “There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the last Messenger.” With this declaration Islam ditches the concept of secularism. That is, if you don’t believe in Allah then you are a kafir/infidel. That is why no country with Muslim majority or even sizeable minority practices secularism, for it requires people to replace their God-given beliefs with an entirely different set of man-made beliefs. Separation of religion and state is not an option for Muslims because it requires abandoning Allah’s decree for that of man. What we see at Kattankudy is that propensity to violence is not an aberration but an intrinsic element of the Islamic faith.
Islam promises paradise for martyrs and jihadis killed in battle (Koran 3: 157), thus within 700 years of Muslim occupation of India Hindus were converted to Islam largely by the sword. As a result we now have not one but two majority Islamic states carved out of India. The word Muslim means “one who has submitted him/her to the will to Allah, but in practice we don’t see that.
As stated above Muslim (if he considers him/herself so) is bound by the laws of Allah as given in the Quran and not by man-made laws. A PhD student charged with attempt to commit a terrorist act (bombing the Toronto – New York bound train) refused to plead guilty or not guilty. He simply told the Court he is not bound by man made laws, only god given laws. Others may consider him a terrorist/extremist, but according to his religious believes his stand is perfectly right.

Critically speaking all religions are the products of different culture / Geolocation and social laws. Islam allows marrying up to 4 wives, because prior to Mohammed Arabs were marrying up to 20 wives. Islam prohibits as sin/ harem learning and practicing dance, music and drama, because that was their culture. Even the ban on eating pork is culture based; the pigs were seen as scavengers living on human excreta.
Yesterday, we saw Netherland Turks carrying Turkey flags demonstrating and clashing with Netherland police. Obviously, their allegiance is to their Islamic country of origin than the adopted country of Netherland. This is not peculiar to any one country. The grand Imam of New Delhi Mosque refuses to hoist Indian tri-colour flag on independence/republican day. When Pakistan and India play cricket the Indian Muslims are seen cheering for Pakistan and NOT India.

Thanga, you are right.
Muslims can have four wives but there are some conditions. The first wife has to give permission and he must be able to look after equally all the wives. Jesus never said you can have only one wife and neither Lord Buddha said you can have only one wife. What you follow is your colonial master’s law, only one wife but you can hit any amount of prostitute, keep women on the sly any amount and if you are influential person like politicians can abuse any amount of young women who come seeking jobs etc. After all your colonial masters wants prostitute industry, now gay industries etc. to expand.
Where you are wrong is Muslims support Muslims. Your example is cricket. For your information, my family, relations and most of our friends (this is true also as far as other Sri Lankan Moors concerned) always support Sri Lanka during Pakistan v Sri Lanka matches. The only one day international cricket Sri Lanka won was because it was played in Pakistan. 100% Pakistanis and other Muslims supported Sri Lanka. There were so much jeers and hooting against Australian team and they were mentally degraded so Sri Lanka won. If that match was played in India the Brahmins and high caste Indians who consider Buddhist as low caste would have jeered and hooted against Sri Lanka thus bringing victory to Australia.

Your view is better, but not sure whether “these diots” can contemplate on that matter. Because these humans do not want to bring the peace or harmony among all the cultures religions etc etc,but to justify their own stupid views which will never lead to a cultural and religious compatibility

“Kattankuddy is little Mecca and holiest for Muslims.”
Does the Good Book say that?
To a good Muslim the holiest place on earth is Mecca.

Any religion must be allowed to evolve. That is why in Christianity there are theologians. But in spite of all efforts to be moderate and adjust to the changing times fundamentalism crept in to Christianity just as it did to Islam where littoral and maniacal adherence to the letter of an ancient book is more important than living peacefully in ones own community. Fundamentalism is born out of economic hardship. Its followers equate their plight to the sinful lifestyles of the more affluent among them. So they go about denouncing and tearing down the social fabric imposing their own littoral understanding of the Koran or Bible. Whats even more despicable is that these tendencies are exploited by rulers, politicians and even pastors of radical sects to manipulate there followers into unquestioning submission to their will. Submission is the main key. Critical thinking is not allowed. The followers of these fundamentalist beliefs are also ignorant and mostly uneducated. A liberal education is frowned upon. To them, education means to read, write and memorize versus of their holy book. Nothing outside of this is worth studying. It is a self destructive feed back loop that perpetuates ignorance and stupidity from generation to generation.

Meanwhile, a group by the name of Ex BUDDHIST of Sri Lanka (EBSL) called on the government and the defense authorities to take firm measures to free the nation completely from radical BUDDHIST TERROR elements BECOMING INCREASINGLY VISIBLE IN SOCIAL MEDIA AND
“Under the excuse of “REVIVING BUDDHISM”, Sri Lankan BUDDHISTS are being indoctrinated with a fundamentalist, hateful and terrorist ideology by groups, organizations and individuals who are receiving foreign funds,” the group said.
The group went on to claim in a statement that one of the BUDDHIST factions IN SRI LANKA that was directly involved in the violence AGAINST MINORITIES is a pro – Ma Ba Tha organization led by bikshu Wirathu of Myanmmar, with members and supporters all around the Island. “The activities, HATE MANTRAS and preaching of such organizations have become a threat to the existence of ex BUDDHISTS IN SRI LANKA,” EBSLsaid.

These racist Sinhalese are talking big about SL, their kings, heritage and Buddhism – Ultimately it is the Muslims in the Middle-East who help them giving jobs to live a decent life back here in SL.
Imagine, if not for these Middle-Eastern countries how many Sinhalese would have committed suicides for not able to run their families? How many Sinhalese would have become pick-pocketers? How many Sinhalese would have become murderers? How many Sinhalese would have become ‘kudu karayas’? How many Sinhalese would have become contract killers? How many Sinhalese ladies would have become sex-workers? How many Sinhalese would not have seen those little extra comforts they indulge now?
Ask yourself, how many of unqualified people found better jobs and lives because of these Muslim countries, otherwise, those would not even have been dreams, considering the fact that SL can’t even afford to provide jobs to those educated ones. Those who enjoy riding vehicles from the money earned from those Muslim countries, didn’t you see local university professors traveling on smelly crowded public buses and trains hanging on those bars, and feel being grateful to those Muslims?
I know many Sinhalese in the Middle-East who are worthless here in SL, have been given good opportunities. Even if racism is within your blood, try to be thankful to Muslims who dignified you lives

It is not the Muslim countries brother, it is the West – and the Asian countries now – indirectly supporting the employments in the Muslim countries. They have one of the worst employment standards and human rights abuses in the world. that’s why even Muslim refugees flock to the west instead of their brother countries
Until The west discovered oil there and had a use for it for there other inventions like internal combustion engines they were just nomads except for some non Arab countries. Once the oil runs out they will revert back to it.

MuslimMan / March 20, 2017
Methasing,
West and Asian countries? “90% of expatriate Sri Lankans reside in the Middle East”, recent info from Wikipedia, find it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Sri_Lanka
If 90% of Sri Lankans still enjoy being employed, despite your claim, “worst employment standards and human rights abuses”, just imagine the situation and living conditions back home.
While West picks only the best, Asian countries dislike & discriminate Sri Lankans from the skin color to attitudinal issues of the majority of whom I mentioned in my prior post. That is why still 90% of our workforce end up in the Muslim countries, no options.
So be grateful to those who allowed you take forced refuge in your difficulties.

You should be grateful for the Sinhalese buying things from your shops. Without them you would be begging on the streets all across Sri Lanka. Be grateful to the Sinhalese soldiers who could have left the LTTE to massacre your people.
It’s laughable how Sri Lankan Muslims think they are equivalent to Arabs. Look at Rizana Nafeek – beheaded without any compunction.
/
MuslimMan / March 21, 2017
Ha..ha..Bahan,
Whether we are Sri Lankan Muslims or Arab Muslims, we all Muslims have same faith, same Allah and same Quran, so we consider all of us are brothers.
If you think we, Sri Lankan Muslims are not equal, that is because of your slave and inferiority complex being a Sri Lankan. And you think just we got mixed with you, we should also be in the same slave mentality? LOL
Why buy from our shops? We don’t ask you to buy from our shop, because we make sure you buy from us is our talent. You are such an idiot think that buying decision has to do with religion..he..he
A shoulder’s duty is to protect the citizen from terrorists. They did their duty, what has religion got to do with this? You’re called idiot again for 3rd time…he..he.
Not just Rizana Nafeek, even my mother committed a crime and proved as per the laws, she should be punished. You idiot think Islamic Sharia law is like MR’s ‘machang’ law to spare Rizana just because she is Muslim?
See how many times I called you idiot, maybe you’re not an idiot, but your racist mind made others call you “idiot” in public
/
Bahan / March 21, 2017
You can call people idiots as much as they like but it won’t change the fact that Sri Lankan Muslims are a backward, primitive and poverty stricken community who depend on the Sinhalese and the Tamils to buy from their shops.
Sri Lankan Muslims have always been holding onto the ‘sari pota’ of the Sinhalese. When the Portuguese landed there were no tough words like you – instead they ran like chickens and sought refuge among the Sinhalese Buddhists of the central province. More recently they hid like chickens behind the Sinhalese soldiers without contributing anything to the war effort. Maybe the Sinhalese should have left your ungrateful community to be slaughtered by the Tamil Tigers.
The Arabs look upon the brown skinned Sri Lankan Muslims as equal to trash. I find it hilarious how Sri Lankan Muslims like you pretend to be all powerful when in actual fact you come from an abject society who depend on the Sinhalese and the Tamils for their survival.. Go and laugh at the desperately poor Sri Lankan Muslim family of Rizana Nafeek who live in a shack in the Eastern Province.
Your Islamic Sharia law is a joke.

MuslimMan / March 22, 2017
Bahan,
Don’t worry about what Arabs think of Sri Lankan Muslims, but you agree that Muslims feed most of your people, and not your Mahawamsa or Dutugemunu? Not a joke :)
If Sri Lanka is backward how can you expect Sri Lankan Muslims to be forward? How come you did not know majority of Sinhalese are living on almost on free money from the government? Only thing that they actively do is crowding the smelly public buses and trains to go to work in the government offices with a “bath parcel and harak bottle full of water”. What they really do over there is ZERO. But they do this because there is no other option for them for being uncreative, unskilled and no talents at all in anything, but with little Sinhala writing / reading knowledge. Who pays them salary? Who offers them free education and medicine for the people who are worthless? Of course the government from the money of tax payers like us.
So for the local govt, Muslims & Tamils are profit centers where the govt spends very less, while collecting their money as tax, and pays in billions to these unproductive cost centers. So you must also thank Sri Lankan Muslims and Tamils on this part ;)
Among other communities, Muslims are self-sufficient segment that doesn’t bother the govt with forcefully asking employments or once employed threatening and demanding pay hikes with daily work strikes. We Muslims know how to make money. Despite BBS asking to boycott Muslims businesses, why do Sinhalese still stick to Muslim businesses? Because they know where the quality is.
On a ration among communities if you check the statistics, Muslims are richer and doing better. We don’t kill or throw our kids in the river just because we can’t feed them ;) We don’t hide the newborn because it was result of an illegal affair ;) We don’t get caught on supermarket CCTVs because of snatching and stealing from the racks ;)
Aney ayye don’t don’t be prawns and you know what it has in the head instead of brain?

I mentioned on this website quite a few times the dangers of Wahhabi fundamentalism. The biggest sponsor is Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia will fund the construction of the mosque, then the radical preacher will come, followed by the radicalization of the young men. It is a big problem in the EU as well, as many of these young men go and join ISIS and some return to carry out the attacks like we saw in France. EU and USA are taking measures on the intelligence side now to monitor these mosques, using covert methods, as there is a very real threat to the national security. The best solution is for the Sri Lankan Government to take steps to integrate younger Muslims into the mainstream society, but that is not always easy.

This is what going to happen when the Iranian Shia ideology is exported to clash with our traditional Islamic way of life which our forefathers were practicing since more than a thousand years. Shias are number one enemies of Sunnah Muslims as such derogatory words such as Wahhabi which is coined by the enemies of Sunnah is used as derogatory references to undermine the true Islamic scholars who toiled to safeguard the true Islamic beliefs and practices which is totally contradictory to Shiasm. We do not want this kind of clashes to erupt as Shia culture among the other things are Mutah (temporary marriages) hate mongering of the personalities of the Prophet of Islam, the Sahabas, self-inflicting and blood letting are some of the worst form of rituals practices by the Iranian regimes and Shiasm. The true Muslims and its rituals are what that was practiced by the Prophet (May the Peace and the Blessings of Allaah be upon) as terrorism is alien to Islam and Islam is peace with surrendering to the command of the Almighty. I urged all the Sunnah Muslims to understand the grand treachery being hatched by the Easterner and MP who are being used by the Iranian Embassy to propagate this Shiasm and its detrimental to the Sunnah.

Abdulla Ibn Abdul Wahhab was brainwashed by British spy who impersonate as Muslim tricked him to follow the Ibn Tamiyyah doctrines which he Ibn Tamiyyah believed Mongolians are not true Muslims since they refused to follows his doctrines,he declared jihads on them and legalize the killing of fellow Muslims who don’t follow Muslim law as infidels and nothing wrong from fighting them. The Wahhabis are known very well for their aggression towards anyone who refused to follow their doctrine. It’s obvious they are puppet of the west to turnish Islam image from once a peaceful religious to the most violent and aggressive religion in world. Allah didn’t bring religious to be part of the problem but to be part of solutions to man kind. Now enemy of God who have hidden agenda have succeeded in ruining Islam and label it terrorist.

Be proud of being a Muslim (worshippers of One Supreme Lord Almighty Allaah) and what the early Muslims,, who taught the world with their inventions in mathematics, sociology, aviation, astronomy, chemistry, medicine, hygiene, cleanliness, food etiquette, what to eat and what not to eat,, observance of strict code in every aspect of life (Halal – Lawful) and (Haram- Unlawful) These Pandy (pig swines) who attack the Muslims and their ways are really sick Pig eaters. Do you know Muslims if you see in India, how these Pagans shitting in the road side and railway lines,it will be nauseating to watch. I went to India on a rainy day, the street was full of shit and smelly and the people are not bothered of seeing shit everywhere, and they urinate on the roadway in full view. So shameless behavior. You can see how these how pigs will behave so rightly these Pandykutty in fact behave and acts like the real pigs, that is why ONLY the Muslims will not compromise to eat anything unless Halal certified, even in Australia and Western world uses Halal ingredients for the Muslims, Muslims are clean and their five times a day washing up for the daily prayers, and clean food are enough for us, Our Muslim women do not parade in tight jeans, revealing the entire body to be seen and enjoyed by perverts, Praise the Lord for saving us with Islam. Al Hamdu Lillah.
