The tragic events of 21/4 Easter bombings destroyed the ‘peace’ that prevailed since the end of the Eelam war in May 2009. Exactly a decade later, it was not the Tamils who had regrouped to launch the biggest ever terrorist attack on civilians in Sri Lanka, but a bunch of well educated, misled rich Muslim youth who had no specific demand from the Sri Lankan State. Their motive is still a mystery and the Muslim community as well as the families of the terrorists came forward to assist the security forces in quelling any growth or left over killer cells. Through this, the security forces were able to quash the widely expected second wave of attacks. Yet, the harassment of the entire Muslim community continued with search operations, indictment and incarceration for possessing the Quran and Arabic literature (which every Muslim possesses), camouflage clothing (which was legally sold even by pavement hawkers), kitchen knives, swords and even toy guns. The policy of the Police was ARREST AND INVESTIGATE and many innocent civilians were humiliated. Most were charged under the INTERNATIONAL COVENANT ON CIVIL AND POLITICAL RIGHTS (ICCPR) ACT or PREVENTION OF TERRORISM ACT (PTA), which does not allow a Magistrate to grant bail, while the Sinhala Buddhist rioters in the Kurunegala and Gampaha districts who caused death, looting and destruction were charged under normal civilian laws and bailed out a few days later. This travesty of justice could create hundreds of more Zahrans similar to what led the Tamil youth to an armed struggle due to the carnage of the July 1983 riots. The local media, with a sinister political agenda and to boost their ratings, magnified and sensationalized these arrests, implying that everyone arrested was a terrorist or possessed dangerous weapons.
The attack on Muslims continues in the form of harassment due to their attire, cultural and religious practices, organized boycott of their businesses and trade and targeting Muslim professionals and public servants. The Police arrested a Muslim medical practitioner who was a candidate of the ruling party during the August 2015 elections at 2.30am for amassing wealth. Is this a Police duty or the responsibility of the Inland Revenue Department or Bribery Commission? Later, the Police, through Media, made public calls for anyone who underwent a cesarean section to lodge complaints of possible unauthorized Tubal ligation (LRT) surgical procedure for sterilization by this senior house officer (SHO) who worked under a Consultant Gynecologist. However, weeks after, the Consultant Gynecologist has not been questioned and arrested.
Three weeks after the Easter carnage of 21/4, Sinhala extremists started a riot in the Kurunegala and Gampaha districts causing damages to mosques, houses, vehicles and business premises. One person was killed in the mayhem. As usual, the Government imposed a curfew and forced the Muslims to stay indoors while the rioters were allowed to roam free in the presence of the Security Forces and destroy everything Muslim. This was a repeat of what happened in Aluthgama, Gintota and Digana. The armed forces and Police usually bring the situation under control only after extensive loss for the Muslims.
The Muslim community is still in a state of shock not because of the cowards who killed and destroyed the livelihood, homes and places of worship in the Kurunegala and Gampaha districts, but because of our inability to have prevented the radicalization that was happening in our backyard which culminated in the death of over 250 and injuring more than 500 Sri Lankans and visitors to our nation on Easter Sunday. The average Muslim never dreamed that there could ever be violent extremists within their community. Although Muslims were subject to ethnic cleaning in the North by the LTTE or the many violent riots perpetrated on them in the presence of the security forces since the end of the war, the Muslim community never imagined a group of Muslim youth would resort to violence or acts of terror . Why would any Sri Lankan destroy the hard won peace in our beautiful country after 30 years of bloodshed?
Zaharan and his bunch of lunatics do not represent us Muslims. The Holy Quran teaches that to take a life is like killing the whole of humanity, and to save a life is like saving all of humanity. Islam forbids suicide and the killing of innocents, hence they had left the fold of Islam. Then how can these terrorists have been Muslim? They deserved the burial they got, being denied religious rites by all mosques in the country.
It is sad that some mistakenly believe that the Muslim community knew about this terrorist attack. How can it be so, when even the wife who dropped her husband at the airport believing he was traveling to Zambia, did not know he was on a suicide mission? She travelled to her parental home in Mannar and even received text messages from him claiming to be in transit in Qatar. How then could the Muslim community have known the sadistic plans of these senseless murderers?
The brutal attacks of 21/4 have damaged the goodwill between the Muslims and majority of the peace loving Sinhala Buddhists and have created mistrust and suspicion. The entire Muslim community came forward to assist the armed force, Police and the Government in the clean up that was successfully launched by them. A mother reported and handed over her daughter who was married to one of the suspects. Mosques, neighbours, family and friends came out and reported suspicious behavior around them. Millions donated by the government for the information that led to the detection of the eastern network of terrorists was donated by the Muslims to the victims of the church bombing. The network of the terrorists was broken within days by the quick and vigilant action of the security forces thanks to the patriotic Muslims. Yet, deep suspicion and racism were created by opportunistic elements to proportions beyond imagination in the average Sri Lankan.
In the 30-year ethnic war, the Tamils were accused of protecting the Tamil Tigers and their armed struggle to set up a separate state. They may have justified it because of the discrimination and violence perpetrated against them, especially in 1983 where the Tamils living outside of the Northern peninsula lost everything including lives, livelihood and properties. Throughout this period of violence in Sri Lanka, the Muslims remained patriotic for a unitary state.
Racism has found a new meaning and everything Muslim is being targeted. Trade rivalries have come to the fore and call to boycott Muslim establishments has been renewed. There is total harassment of Muslims in public places, busses and trains, taxis and even in work places. This is not a healthy sign. Pushing Muslims against the wall will force them to react and I pray that it doesn’t end up in further violence.
The Muslim contribution to the development of the Sri Lankan economy is well recognized. Their contribution to winning the war has gone unnoticed as most Muslims worked in the intelligence arm of the forces and worked mostly under cover. Their contribution to winning the war is well documented by the armed forces.
Many Muslims who now feel a sense of hopelessness consider leaving the country. There are others who are contemplating moving their businesses outside Sri Lanka, which will be a huge blow to the economy, employment opportunities and development of the country. But what is most concerning and needing immediate attention is the anger and frustration of Muslim youth who may feel there is no justice, there is no rule of law, and they’re not equal citizens in their country.
A brief history of Muslims in Sri Lanka
Arab traders who arrived in Sri Lanka during the 7th century A.D also brought Islam, which began to flourish. The first people to profess the Islamic faith were Arab merchants who had taken native wives with the blessings of the ancient kings. By the 8th century A.D., Arab traders dominated trade in the entire Indian Ocean. Many of them chose to settle down in the island. However, when the Portuguese arrived during the 16th century, many of these Arab traders’ descendants or Sri Lankan Moors were brutally persecuted. The Portuguese colonists attacked and destroyed the Sri Lankan Moor settlements, their warehouses, and trading networks. Most Moors sought refuge from persecution by escaping to the interior of Sri Lanka towards the central hills. King Senarath of Kandy encouraged them to settle in the central hills and the Eastern Province of Sri Lanka. These Moors adopted to the Kandyan lifestyle and even today carry ‘Gae’ names given by the kings.

Who is creating Zaharans?
Simple answer, the crazy racist stone age Mohommedan cult with its perverted teachings which promise men 72 virgins in heaven for going Allah Allah and blowing up Kafirs. This is is what creates Zaharans……

Saurus,
Who is creating Zahrans?
1. Para-Sinhala Para-“Buddhists . Ask Tamils, who created LTTE?
2. The Para-Sinhala State by the unequal application of Law and order and letting the Para-Sinhala Custer criminals to get away with it.
3. By the Para-Wahhabi Salafies and clones who follow the Devil Satan, per prescient Hadith of Najd, an Islamic source, so that they can kill other non-Wahhabies such as Sufi, Shia and Ahmedia Muslims, by claiming them to be Apostates.
They were all funded by the Satan following Wahhabi Saudi Arabia.
PS. The Muslims who introduced Islam to Lanka, the Land of Native Veddah Aethho, wee Sufis, who live God, and submit to God, and NOT The Satan following Wahhabies who Submit to Satan, love Satan and destruction, per Theology of Islam.

Dinuk / June 4, 2019
Hilmy, The short answer to who is creating Zaharans is: the CIA owned Saudi Funded and operated ISIS, in order cause chaos in Sri Lanka so that US can set up a military base under the pretext of fighting “IS and global terrorism” in strategic Sri Lanka — although the real target is China!
The recent Easter attacks were meant to trigger a Buddhist backlash against Muslims as Buddhism has been weaponized by the US just as Islam was during the Cold War in Afghanstan and Mid East — against socialism and Communism.
Please read the book “Cold War Monks: Buddhism and America’s Secret Strategy in SouthEast Asia” by Eugene Ford, Yale University Press to understand the big picture.

Did the LTTE Terrorists go after 72 Virgins? No.
They went after the Para-Sinhala Buddhist Monks, and the Temple of the Tooth , supposedly a canine tooth.
The other, angle in recent times is the US-India Axis, trying to keep out China, the Cuba Belt initiative , by weaponizing Religion, as the religious nuts, mean IQ 79, can be easily brainwashed and fooled.
The history of Para-Sinhala Para-“Buddhist “ racism, that is contrary to Buddha’s teachings cannot be wiped out and pushed under the rug,. Ask the Tamils, ask the UNHRC.
Same is true for the Satan following Wahhabies.
Both sets if suckers are being weaponized by the West, the New Imperialism. Just read up on the weaponization of Religion, if your low IQ permits it.

Are you also suffering from personality disorder?
Personality order is:
Those who struggle with a personality disorder have great difficulty dealing with other people. They tend to be inflexible, rigid, and unable to respond to the changes and demands of life. Although they feel that their behavior patterns are “normal” or “right,” people with personality disorders tend to have a narrow view of the world and find it difficult to participate in social activities.

There is no such group as ‘Para Sinhala’. Sinhalayo are the native people in Sinhale. Even Veddas have come from East Africa. But Sinhalayo treat them like native people because Vedda Eththo fought with Sinhalayo against British to save Sinhale where as Demalu and Muslims took the side of British and massacred Sinhalayo.

Punchi Point is one of the biggest jokers on this forum. Right from the day he appeared in this forum, he continues to cry saying Tamils should go to Tamil Nadu, LOL! Neither the Tamils or Muslims or any others who have lived in this island going anywhere else other than economic migration to the West. Punchi Point can climb to the top of his roof and cry, ‘Tamils go to Tamil Nadu’ but it is NEVER going to happen. Tamils will stay forever and their uprising will also continue forever. People like Punchi Point can cry at the top of their voice, ‘Sinhalese are indigenous but Tamils are invaders’ but nobody cares even for a fart, so stupid jokers like Punchi Point and Eagle Eye can hit their head on a brick wall and cry for ever on something that is not going to happen in reality.

“There is no other place on this earth where Sinhala language which is unique is spoken, Sinhala culture, traditions and customs exist. Para Demalu, Para Muslims and Para Malays can trace their roots to other countries.”
Para-Sinhala language comprises about 40% Para-Tamil and about 55% Para-Pali, Para-Prakrit, Para-Sanskrit and other Para-Indian languages, with a few borrowed words from the Native Veddah Aethho. It is not original, it is a mixture. It is not unique. It even has 1,600 Portuguese words.
Genetically Para-Sinhala are Indian, not native, unlike the Native Veddah Aethho. Native Vedda Aethho were the first and walked, to claim the land when the sea levels were low, unlike the other Paras who came later in Hora Oru and Kalla- Thonis, illegally .

Potta Eagle,
Are you a Para-Sinhala or a Banda?
The Upcountry Sinhala Buddhist Maha Sangha (Asgiri and Malwathu) had to overlook every Sinhalaya in the country and imported a Dravida blooded South Indian prince from the Nayakar (or Vaduga) dynasty that was ruling Tamil Nadu with Madurai as the capital from 1529 until 1736 to sit on the Kandyan throne because the Sinhalayas were heavily mixed (Para-Sinhala) with everything/everyone that landed in the Sri Lankan shores and lost their ritual purity, unfit for the throne. That is why the last four kings of the Kandyan Kingdom were from the Nayakar (Vaduga) dynasty brought to Sri Lanka from Madurai (Tamil Nadu).
The last king of the Kandyan kingdom Kannasamy Nayakar Pandaram aka Sri Vikrama Rajasinha did not have any children to his official Dravidian wife (Queen) Rajammal Venkatamma. However he (King) had hundreds of children to his upcountry Sinhalese Anthapura wives (as a king, it was his privilege to have any woman he found attractive as his Anthapura wife). The children of the king born to the Anthapura wives were called Pandaram (males) and Manikam (females) who later became Banda and Menika. Today there are an awful lot of Bandas and Menikas in the upcountry. They all have Kannasamy Nayakar Pandaram’s royal blood running in their veins.

Sri Wikrama Rajasinha became a Buddhist, took a Sinhala name and used Sinhala for administration of the country. That is why Sinhalayo accepted him as their King.
/
Citizen / June 6, 2019
Potta Eagle,
So if any Dick (a Dalit Pariah from South India) become Buddhist and take a Sinhala name and learn Sinhala, the Sinhalayo accept him as their King, LOL!
If there was no successor to the last Sinhala king in Kanda Udarata, the Maha Sangha and the Kandyan aristocrats could have either looked for one from the neighboring Sinhala kingdoms such as Kotte or appointed one from the Sinhala aristocracy (of the Kingdom of Kandy. Why a South Indian Dravidian Nayakar/Vaduga clan from the rulers of Tamil Nadu? Because they did not want to appoint a mixed Para-Sinhalaya to the Kandyan throne.
The upcountry kandyan kingdom and the Jaffna kingdom were allies against the low country Kotte Kingdom. King Senarat, the Buddhist King of Kandy who married Dona Catherina even gave his two sons Kumarasingha and Vijayapala in marriage to the daughters of the Hindu King of Jaffna thereby establishing a strong relationship between the two kingdoms.
The upcountry Kandyan Sinhala royalty always thought it is better to marry from Tamil royalty than from the low country Sinhala kingdom. This thinking was not confined to the royalty but was common to almost all the high caste groups. Even until recently, such thinking existed in spite of Sinhala vs Tamil national clashes.
BTW, Kannasamy Nayakar Pandaram did not change his name, Sri Wikrama Rajasinha is not a Sinhala or Buddhist name, it was a royal title, and the administrative language of the Kandyan kingdom was Tamil. Even though they accepted Buddhism, they also built many Hindu deities all around Dalada Maligawa.

Except for the aboriginal Veddahs all other communities living in Sri Lanka have migrated to the island at some time in the past. It is possible that the Veddahs themselves have also migrated here from the subcontinent. However it is agreed by all scholars that the two communities who now call themselves Sinhalese and Tamils have migrated to Sri Lanka from India. Sri Lanka being an island with a history of over 2500 years located in a central position on the Indian Ocean sea trade route and being located so close to India has undoubtedly influenced these migrations.
It is clear from history that the Sri Lankan population of the past was not divided into 2 Mega races as Sinhalese and Tamils. The two native languages, Sinhala and Tamil do not even have a word for such mega races. Jathi (Jathiya in fanatical jargon) in the past meant ‘caste’ and not ‘race’. The consolidation of the population into 2 Mega races as Sinhalese and Tamils can be traced to the recent British period (19th century). As such the various caste groups that now make up the Sinhala race have their own stories of origin. The official story of Sinhalese origination from a lion in India is not from the origin traditions of any Sinhalese caste. Even in the Mahavamsa the story relates only to Vijaya’s family and not to the service castes that came with him. The Lion story doesn’t even relate to his ministers.

According to the genetic studies, not only the Sinhalese but even the Sri Lankan Tamils of NE are from Bengal, Orissa, Andara, Tamil Nadu & Kerala. In fact the North & East Tamils have more Bengal/Orissa gene then the Sinhalese. However, it is not correct and pointless to dig into peoples DNA/gene to find their ethnicity. You will never find a Sinhalese or a Tamil by digging into their DNA/gene because in Sri Lanka we have a heavily mixed population. There is nothing called a pure Tamil or a pure Sinhalese. Our present population is categorized as follows: If a person’s mother tongue is Sinhalese and if s/he follows the Buddhist culture then that person is a Sinhala-Buddhist. If a person’s mother tongue is Sinhalese and if s/he follows the Christian culture then that person is a Sinhala-Christian. If a person’s mother tongue is Tamil and if s/he follows the Hindu culture then that person is a Tamil-Hindu. If a person’s mother tongue is Tamil and if s/he follows the Christian culture then that person is a Tamil-Christian. If a person’s mother tongue is Tamil and if s/he follows the Muslim culture then that person is a Tamil-Muslim (also known as Sri Lankan Moors). If a person’s mother tongue is Malay and if s/he follows the Muslim culture then that person is a Malay-Muslim (also known as Sri Lankan Malays). If a person’s mother tongue is English and if s/he follows the Christian culture then that person is a Burgher. If you dig into the DNA/gene of any of the above people you will find something very strange due to heavy mixing. Genetic studies is good for some educational purpose but it will not help with the present ground situation.

Sinhalese and the Vaeddas are the only people who can call this island as their home. The rest i.e the Tamils and Muslims are immigrants.
Nayaka kings were most certainly not Tamils. The Nayakas who became Sinhalese kings did not rule Madurai. The first Nayaka king Sri Vijaya Rajasinghe was not even distantly related to Nayakas.
Nayakas of Madurai dynasty ended in 1736. The first Nayaka king came to power here in 1739. Anyways the Nayakas who ruled Kandy, did not have a Nayaka kingdom here, they ruled the Sinhalese kingdom as any other Sinhalese king.
Prince Kannusamy was a Nayaka, not a Pandaram.

No wonder they call you a punchi (small) Brain, the question here is not whether the South Indian Dravidian Nayakar/Vaduga clan (who also ruled Madurai, Tamil Nadu) were Tamils or any other, or whether the Nayakar/Vaduga had any Nayakar kingdom anywhere. The question is why the Sinhala Buddhist Maha Sangha and the Kandyan aristocrats had to overlook every Sinhala Baudhaya in the country and imported a Dravida blooded South Indian prince from the Nayakar (or Vaduga) dynasty to sit on the Kandyan throne??? Why not import from Kotte Kingdom??? Why not appoint a Sinhala-Buddhist aristocrat??? Why a South Indian Dravidian???
They found that the Sinhalayas were heavily mixed (Para-Sinhala) with everything/everyone that landed in the Sri Lankan shores and lost their ritual purity, unfit for the throne. If you check your DNA, it will prove beyond any doubt about your ancestral purity.

Aiyoo Tamil Citizen, The Nayaka kings were not imported here to be kings. They came to power because king Narendrasinghe who didn’t have children adopted his queen’s younger brother as his own son and named him to be heir to the throne. This prince became king as Sri Vijaya Rajasinghe in 1739 when Narendrasinghe passed away. Sri Vijaya Rajasinghe was an infant child when his sister married Narendrasinghe, and he came here with the family of the queen and was brought up among the Sinhalese royal family and had an upbringing any Sinhalese prince would have. The other three Nayaka kings (Kirti Sri, Rajadhi Rajasinghe and Sri Vikrama) were born here and had the upbringing of Sinhalese princes and were more or less Sinhalese.
What do you mean by “ritual purity”? This is not a concept easily understood by the Sinhalese nor is it applicable to Sinhalese as concepts of “ritual purity” does not have a place in general Sinhala society.
Tamils need desperately to distort history are obsessed with ancestry and history, while the Sinhalese do not care about any ancestry or history since the very existence of the Sinhalese proves all the history there needs to be proven.
NB! Sinhalese are para to you, since you Tamils are para to this island.

FYI all royal lines of India claim decent from Ikshvakus, Sakyas, Pandus etc. They were not of socalled “Dravida blood”. Even Dravida kingdoms and other south Indian kingdoms (Karnataka, Andhra) were all ruled by non-Dravida royalty all of who claimed decent from Ikshvaku or Pandus etc. The Sinhalese royalty was connected to these royalty who ruled Tamil country and Andhra and also Kalinga and further north. Several Sinhalese kings married princesses from the Pandu dynasty of Madura and Kalinga and ruling clans of Andhra. Sinhalese princesses too married Indian kings – eg. In the 1st century AD king Hala from Satavahana dynasty married the Sinhalese princess Lilavati. Satavahana ruled roughly the area of Andhra and some of Karnataka and it was this area that later became the seat of Vijayanagar empire, whom the Nayakas were placed regional governors of the empire, and when the Vijayanagar Empire fell these Nayakas became rulers of their respective areas. How royal the Nayakas actually were questionable.
For the Sinhalese it was important that the kings were of Suryavamsa and the only royalty remaining at that time in 18th century when Narendrasinghe was going to be married were the Nayakas. So they chose a Nayaka princess, whose status as Suryavamsa is doubtful from the very origin itself, and when it comes to this particular princess, modern day scholarship (Ref. Lorna Devaraja) has found out that she was not really related to the Nayaka rulers. The last king Sri Vikrama Rajasinghe was most probably the illegitimate son of Pilimathalavuwa. Whatever the ancestry of these kings were, they became Sinhalese kings, and ruled the country as Sinhalese and they were good kings.

The entire Sri Lankan civilization was built with Indian ideas/influence of technology, languages, religions, culture, rituals, medicines, attire, arts, culinary, etc., etc., nothing original or native to Sri Lanka. The people mixed with everything that landed on the Sri Lankan shores. The history is filled with Vijay (banished profligate son of an incestuous marriage), Dushta or Dutta Gamani (fanatic-racist invader), Kasyapa (patricide), Saradiel (thug), Anagarika (Sinhala supremacist), JR (racist politician), Mahinda (political crook), Gotabaya (white van criminal) and a moronic citizenship that considers these same scum bags as their hero’s. Nothing to be surprised, 2500 years of ‘Buddhism’ in Sri Lanka did not make any major changes in the society in terms of attitude, character, behavior, and morality. They hide behind a heavy veil of pseudo Buddhism involving in rituals (much of which are copied from Dravidian Hindu practices) than the true wisdom and practice that Buddha preached. This pseudo Buddhist card is used as an ace to hide the fact that this citizenry is still actually uncivilized.

Vanniyale Ettho / June 6, 2019
Small Brain,
How come the Sinhalese who came as immigrants from India (both North and South) and brought Buddhism from India claim to own the whole island as their own country? What about the Tamils who came as immigrants from India (South) and brought Hinduism from India and the Muslims who came as immigrants from Arabia and brought Islam from Arabia and the Burghers who came as immigrants from Europe and brought Christianity from Europe. All of them are immigrants and all the four major religions practiced in the island were imported from outside. The ONLY original native sole owner of the island is the aboriginal Vedha who descend from the pre-historic people of Sri Lanka. Only Veddhas can call this island their home, all others are immigrants. Just because the immigrants from India created a language (Sinhala) by borrowing many other languages and became a majority by mixing with everything that landed on the Sri Lankan shores, they cannot become the owners of Veddha’s land. Just because they have no other place to go (unlike others), even India from where they came will not take them back, it cannot be considered a reason for them to own Veddha’s land. Just because the Sinhalese (majority of them are South Indian low caste migrants who got converted to Buddhism/Sinhala) became a majority, they cannot become the sole owners. Today the Veddha’s country (Sri Lanka) is the home for all the migrants (Sinhalese, Tamils, Muslims, Burghers, Malays and so on).
Hope your punchi brain can comprehend all these.

You are no Vanniyelo Aeththo, you are a Tamil.
This island is the island of the Sinhala Aeththo and the Vanniyalo Aeththo. Demala Aeththo have your Demala rata on the opposite coast.
(Shameless Tamils insulting the Vaeddas using Sinhalese words without knowing that they are Sinhalese words, and can’t even write them properly. It is not Ettho, but Aeththo and it is not Vedda, but Vaedda).
Seriously Tamils are retarded or what? According to your definition of immigrant, then Vaeddas too are immigrants.
If Tamils had any decency, then you will have love for this island, you would respect what this island produced, namely the Sinhalese language, the Sinhalese people and the Sinhalese civilization, and not try to make us and our cultural heritage into some kind of immigrant-alien-outside thing and demand and claim that the Tamils from Tamilnadu produced the civilization of this island. You Tamils are dumb and idiotic, you are just proving that you are aliens and outsiders every time you try to present these nonsensical claims and theories.
Tamils can never ever have the relationship this island has to the Sinhalese. This island produced only the Sinhalese, and not the Tamils. Tamils are trying to down-play the position of the Sinhalese and equate the Sinhalese position to the same as the Tamils. Look at how many Tamils are writing as Vaeddas here. LMAO Why is that?
Please also note that the first Hindus in the island were Sinhalese. Tamils didn’t bring Hinduism here. Hinduism reached Tamils only in the first centuries of the Christian era. Also, Sinhalese didn’t bring Buddhism to the island, but Indians brought it and we adopted it. Do you have a problem with it too?

According to modern archeological findings, Sri Lanka was connected to the Indian subcontinent for the past one million years up to as recently as only 7,000 years. During this vast period, says the famous Archeologist Dr. Shiran Deraniyagala, (Indigenous Lanka conference), many hundreds of nomadic groups of adivasis or indigenous people must have walked across what is now the shallow Palk Strait to engage in subsistence hunting and gathering activities. Iron Age peoples, by comparison, seen to have settled here about 800-1000 B. C.
Let us see what the researchers/scholars are saying,
The Vedda, the aborigines of Sri Lanka whose ethnic origin dates back to the very dawn of evolution are considered to descend from the hunting tribe called Vettar in South India or to the Savaras of India or the Mundari people (Hugh Nevill 1886, Seligmann 1911, Parker 1909). Whatever the historical and literary reference may be, it is evident that a group called Veddas have lived in the jungle solitude in Sri Lanka throughout and remained in complete isolation for 2,500 years. These Veddas were also called Pulindas and Sabaras. Today, the identification of Veddas has become quite controversial for most of them have been absorbed into the main communities. They range from fully Sinhalized groups in the South to the fully Tamilized groups in the Eastern coastal belt of Sri Lanka. (Brow, J. 1978).
While the Vedda appeared to be more closely related to the Sinhalese and Sri Lankan Tamil groups and more distantly related to the Indian Tamils, the study concluded that the Vedda’s genetic data were consistent with historically strong genetic drift. The pattern of genetic admixture between older inhabitants (Vedda) and more recent newcomers (Sinhalese and Tamils) on the island was truly heterogeneous. (L. Ranaweera et al., 2014).

Continued from above…
There is no connection what so ever between Singhalese and the Veddas. The Veddas are the original indigenous people of the island where as the Sinhalese came from India. The Veddas in the Sinhalese dominated areas have married a few Sinhalese and the Veddas in Tamil dominated areas (East) have married a few Tamils. The intermarriage is the only connection, even the DNA/genetic study does not show any other connection.
The archaeological record dates human habitation to around 125,000 years. mtDNA evidence provides dates from 85,000 and 65,000 years. The discovery of 30,000 years old Balangoda man is evidence of pre-historic mankind in Sri Lanka (Fa Hien-lena near Bulathsinhala, Batadomba-lena near Kuruwita, Beli-lena at Kitulgala, Alu-lena at Attanagoda and so on). People lived in many countries in the world from times immemorial. There would have been many ancient tribes and civilizations in the South Asian region (India and Sri Lanka) very similar to other countries like Africa, China and so on but most of them disappeared over time. The last of them in Sri Lanka are the Veddas (most probably the descendants of the Balangoda man) but however, they have very little to do with the present day Sri Lankan population (Sinhalese and Tamils). In other words, the present day Sinhalese and Tamils are NOT the offsprings of the pre-historic generation of Sri Lanka. The present day population (Sinhalese, Tamils and Muslims) are migrants and their ancestry is in India (the latest genetic study on Sri Lankan population proves it). Only the Veddas are the original natives of Sri Lanka who descend from the pre-historic people of Sri Lanka. Why there is no Sinhala in the present day India? It must be one of the many lost tribes/civilizations of Northeast India. However, Sinhabahu’s descendants must be still living in Bengal/Orissa.

Before talking about other people’s brain size learn what things like archaeology and geology are. You don’t know what archaeology is but you have a lot of claims about what archaeology has found. LMAO. Also Mundari people are in Africa not in India and there is no tribe called “Vettar” in South India. There are some 500 tribes in India in comparison to 1 tribe in SL. If there was so much population movement across the Palk Strait (with or without the ocean) then how come we don’t see any of those tribes here, and we don’t find any Vaeddas or for that matter Sinhalese in India?
You have tried to copy paste sections of some extremely idiotic articles written by fanatical Tamil idiots with forged references, to make a case for your stupid bluff. None of what you have written answers the question as to how you lot do not have any history here and speak the exact same language as in Tamilnadu.
FYI 7,000 years ago Dravidian speaking tribes had not even entered India, so it doesn’t have any relevance to the present. According to many scholars linguists and also historians and archaeologists (Zvelebil, Krishnamurti, Emeneau, Andronov, Southworth, Schiffman), the Dravidian speakers entered India after 3000 B.C. The above mentioned scholars have different theories about how the Dravidian language family entered India and then evolved and spread in India, but all agree that the Dravidian speaking tribes had not reached southern part of south India, until the mid first millennium BC. i.e around 500 B.C. Although this seems very late, that is what the archaeological and linguistic evidence has proven.

Kamil Zvelebil : “During the 1st millennium BC, while Aryanization steadily progressed in north India, the Dravidian speaking newcomers began to mix with the Negritos and Proto-Australoids in the south; this process of acculturation continued during the period from approximately 1200 to 600 BC. A movement of the Aryans into the south of India began sometime about 1000 BC. Before the 5th century BC, Proto-South Dravidian was probably still one language, but with two strongly marked dialects.”
If we go by the accredited linguist Zvelebil’s dates – then, when the mythical Vijaya hora whom you seem to like so much, arrived here in the mid 6th century BC, Tamil language was still not born, and Proto-South Dravidian was still one language. Also note that according to Deraniyagala Sinhala Brahmi inscriptions have been found in the 6th century BC from Anuradhapura.
Hugh Neville, Seligmann and Parker never said anything about Vaeddas being Mundari people, as there are no Mundari people in India. There is a Munda people, but they are not in South India, but in Northeast India. Identification of the Vaeddas is not at all controversial. Only Tamils with your total disrespectful behaviour trying to make the Vaeddas into some kind of Tamils or South Indian tribes is the problem. Just look at your behaviour in this very site – there are no less than 4 Tamils pretenting to be Vaeddas in this article alone. Also, the claim “Veddas have lived in the jungle solitude in Sri Lanka throughout and remained in complete isolation for 2,500 years” is utter nonsense. No scholar has ever said that either.

Tamilization of the Vaeddas have taken place in the coast Vaeddas of the east and the real Vaeddas do not consider these Vaeddas as true Vaeddas anymore. According to both Hugh Neville and the Seligmanns the Tamilization of the Vaeddas started only very recently. Hugh Neville states that the older generations of coast Vaeddas still could speak the Vaedda language in his time (late 19th century) but the younger ones understood only Tamil. Selgimanns state that when they asked the Tamilized coast Vaeddas to speak their own language they spoke Sinhalese. How is that possible if the Tamils have been in the east coast since times immemorial?
Ref. “We found that the Coast Veddas spoke of themselves as Verdas and said that long ago their fathers came from inland. They all speak Tamil, but some assert that they still know, and at times use among themselves, their old Vedda language, but when we asked the men who made this statement to speak in their ancestral dialect they spoke Sinhalese. Besides this a few of the older men know the names of some of the Vedda waruge, while others are able to trace their descent to them.
Nevill (loc. cit.) noticed the same state of affairs, he said ” Only the old men speak what they call Vaedda, which is pure but quaint Sinhalese with a Vaedda accent, as a rule, though mixed with some words characteristic of true Vaedda.” ” . – page 332, Seligmann.

Ranaweera’s mtDNA study clearly states that the Vaeddas do not share a single haplotype with the Tamils, and their raw data too supports this. So that sentence which is quoted and misquoted by Tamils from the summary of the study should be regarded as a typing/writing error. This is what the study actually states:
“There were a total of 147 haplotypes observed in the five Sri Lankan populations of this study. Thirty of them were shared between at least two populations. The Vedda population has the lowest proportion of shared haplotypes among their subgroups (63%) indicating their greater genetic diversity among subgroups. Sri Lankan Tamils and Indian Tamils possessed similar shared proportion (85%) whereas Up-country Sinhalese has a little higher number of population specific haplotypes (73%) than Low-country Sinhalese (70%) (Table 1). Interestingly, highest number of haplotype sharing was found between Vedda with Up-country Sinhalese and with Lowcountry Sinhalese. On the other hand, there was no haplotype sharing between the Vedda people with any of the Tamils (Table 1) .” You had better look at these tables.
Also other studies show a close relationship between the Sinhalese and the Vaeddas. Quoting from a recent article by Professor Gyaneshwer Chaubey: “The first genetic study of Vedda along with other Asian populations suggested their long period of isolation. However, the analysis of alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein allele frequencies supports the view that the Veddas are biologically most closely related to the Sinhalese.” Not only Chaubey but all geneticists studying Srilankan people have found to varying degrees that the Vaeddas and Sinhalese are related populations, while at the same time the geneticists have found that the Vaeddas and Tamils do not have any genetic affinity. So stop your sorry pathetic lies.

FYI, This island is the island of the Sinhalese and the Vaeddas, for the simple reason that both these people evolved here from primitive tribes – while the Vaeddas remained in the forests and continued to be hunter-gatherers, the Sinhalese went on to become agriculturalists and develop the island’s civilization. The Sinhalese became and a people and a nation here. The Sinhalese state formation was here. How can Sinhalese be any kind of immigrants? Sinhalese are not migrants, this island is the ONLY home of the Sinhalese nation, while it only a secondary home for the Tamils, whose primary home is in Tamilnadu.
Tamils were not even in southern part of south-India, when the first Sinhalese tribes started to establish the first agricultural settlements and the Sinhalese nation started forming here. Later starting from around 800 BC (according to linguists Kamil Zvelebil, Krishamurti and a few others its a 2-3 centuries later), ancestors of Tamils too were undergoing the same process of development in southern India and much later Tamils started invading the island to rob and plunder, not to make settlements or colonize (eg. Elara Chola). It was not until the late 13th century-early 14th century the Tamils started making permanent settlements here by ethnic cleansing the Sinhalese. Now Tamils want to be indigenous?
Implicit in the arguments you have presented, lies the undeniable acknowledgement that the Tamils are immigrants and because of the description you give as to how the Sinhalese language and people evolved, it is evident that you acknowledge the fact that the Sinhalese are indigenous to this island,. Though this evolution didn’t happen the way you claim, nevertheless, you acknowledge the fact that the Sinhalese evolved here. You are actually proving the opposite of what you intend to prove.

Punchi Brain,
You are twisting the entire Mahavamsa history and creating a new Sinhala history that never existed. All what you are uttering here is nothing but bull crap. Read your Mahavamsa to understand how your ancestors came in a boat and landed in the Dravida Island. It takes my breath away when I hear Modayass whose ancestors came all the way from India in a boat calling the Tamils as invaders/outsiders, LOL! It is like the white Australians calling the natives as invaders. This entire island belonged to the Dravidians. Dravidian have lived in the Island of Sri Lanka from the beginning of its history. What you call today as Sinhala civilization was originally Dravidian. Buddhism in Sri Lanka was actually a North Indian conspiracy organized by the North Indian Emperor Asoka and his son Mahinda with the support from the local stooge Tissa (second son of Tamil Saivaite King Muta Siva and brother of Maha Siva) who seized the Anuradapura throne (with Asoka’s support). Following the king Tissa, a large number of Saivaite Dravidian tribes in the island embraced Asoka’s Buddhism, Aryanised/Prakritised their speech, learned to write using Asoka Bhrami script, adopted the Lion symbol (the Indian Lion which represents the accomplishment of Buddha) and the Dhamma Chakra (also called the Asoka Chakra), accepted the Asoka Buddhist culture and implemented Asoka’s technology to build Stupas, Chaityas, Viharas, Sangharama, and so on.
Furthermore, Sri Lanka is historically a country full of frauds, thugs, criminals, rouges, rowdies, drunkards, rapists, murderers and racists, barbarians masquerading as Buddhists. On the other hand, the colonials identified us as foolish, lazy, violent, racist, hateful, jealous and mean spirited.

The Sinhalese do not need the Mahavamsa or any other nonsense books, to prove our history – our existence proves everything there is to prove about our history and the historical right of the Sinhalese to this island.
Funny! A Tamil reciting from the Sinhalese people’s chronicle the Mahavamsa about Sinhalese kings. LMAO . As I told in my previous comment Tamils are obsessed with history, particularly the Sinhalese history, while the Sinhalese have a relaxed relationship with history. We don’t have to prove anything – our existence is proof enough. Tamils on the other hand write pages after pages of bogus cooked up nonsensical theories that there must soon be more books written by Tamils, than the number of the whole Tamil community here. All these stupid Tamil books and articles are written just to claim why the Sinhalese history, is actually theirs. LMAO.
Nobody would know who Ashoka was even if not for the chronicles of the Sinhalese people, and here we have a Tamil talking of an “Ashoka Chakra”.
There is not even a word for island in Tamil, other than the tivu which is a loanword from Sanskrit namely the word dvipa. (Ref. p. 68-Dravidian Theories, R. Swaminatha Aiyar). If the Tamils had such close connection to an island very early on in history, then there would have been a genuine Tamil word for it, not a borrowed one.
I don’t care about the descriptions and adjectives you Tamils give us. Tamils are known world over for hoaxes, lies and anti-Sinhalese propaganda and hate speech. What I care about is that the lot of you stop harassing us and stop trying to rob parts of our island and our cultural heritage and just please go back to Tamilnadu.

Tamils do not own any decency at all. Look at what they are writing and all their dumb claims. They practically want to be Sinhalese. They want our island and our history too. FYI, all these kings are SINHALESE kings. First time Tamils heard of these Sinhalese kings was in the 18th century, when the British started studying the history and literature of the Sinhalese and translating our ancient manuscripts into English. Now the Tamils have all sorts of claims about our kings too. Not only that now king Ashoka is supposed to be have staged a conspiracy here, with our king Tissa, who the shameless Tamil calls a “local stooge”!
FYI, Siva is not a Tamil God. Saivism made entry into the Tamil country only in the first centuries in the common era. The first mention of the word Siva in Tamil literature is found in the Cilappadikaram, dated variously to 3rd to 6th century AD. That is at least 600 years after Devanampiyatissa’s father, Mutasiva, who reigned in 367 BC – 307 BC. Even the Tamil document Yalpana Vaipava Malai states that when Vijaya landed here, he built temples to Lord Siva in the four directions of the island. This is an acknowledgement that the ancient temples at Trincomalee, Mantota (now Mantai) etc, now claimed as Tamil temples are Sinhalese temples.
You show me the reference in Tamil literature to even one Tamil king with a name which has “Siva” in it, in this period, i.e prior to 4th century BC and upto 2nd century A.D. When you are at that, give us the reference to Tamil kings with the name “Naga” in Tamil literature. I am waiting….. then we can take the discussion from there.

“What about the Tamils who came as immigrants from India”
—
Demalu did not come as immigrants. They were brought illegally as slaves from Malabar by Portuguese, Dutch and British. At the time Portuguese came, there were few Demalu who were the remnants of invaders. If colonial rulers did not import slaves from Malabar, the Demala population in this country is about 3% of the total.

Potta Eagle,
All those who were brought illegally as slaves from Malabar by Portuguese and Dutch were settled in the South for growing/peeling cinnamon – today known as Salagama caste, for fishing/pearl diving – today known as Karawa caste, coconut planting/plucking and toddy tapping – today known as Durawa caste, and for many other jobs. Within a few centuries, the Sinhala population in the South increased exponentially when these people assimilated with the local Sinhala population (Sinhalized) by adopting the Sinhala language/culture and the Buddhist/Christian religion and getting converted to Sinhala Buddhists and Sinhala Catholics. Professor K.M. de Silva in his book `History of Sri Lanka`, refers to the migration of the Karawe, Salagama, and Durawe castes from Southern India to Sri Lanka during the Portuguese and Dutch period. If you check your DNA, it will prove beyond any doubt about your Malabar ancestry.

“You can fool some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time”. – Abraham Lincoln
Whom are you trying to fool? You can fool a few confused idiots like Eagle Eye but you cannot fool all.
Lanka was the country of the Veddas (Yakka) and the Tamils (Naga). It was invaded by Kallathoni Vijay and his men who came in a boat from Hindusthan (note that Kallathoni is a Tamil word for illegal immigrants from Hindustan). Today, the Hindustan invader kallathoni Vijay’s descendants are calling themselves Sinhalese. Vijay’s people (Sinhalese) came from Hindustan and Buddhism also came from Hindustan.
It is useless telling the native Tamils of the island (Nagas) to go to Tamil Nadu or the Kallathoni Sinhalese to go back to Hindustan. Such stupid calls coming from your Punchi Brain will NEVER happen in reality. The simple solution is Autonomy (solving the issue). Otherwise it will continue for ever, and you tell the Tamils to go and they will tell you to go, but both will stay for ever and the conflict will continue.
Just because the Sinhalese (majority of them are South Indian low caste migrants who got converted to Buddhism/Sinhala) became a majority, right from independence they had been trying to control the native Ceylon Tamils but they cannot. At independence in 1948 Sri Lanka was the second best economy in Asia, today we are one of the worst. See how much the country has lost due to the Sinhala idiocy, it is a curse.
Due to their foolishness, the majority Sinhalese are keeping Sri Lanka as a poor begging third world pariah state forever with continuous Tamil uprising which means political instability, economic shrinkage/crisis and international interference (India, UK, US, EU, UN, etc.) forever.
No world power (including UN) will support the majority, they will only support the underdog (minority). So stop crying! And stop twisting and turning what is already said in your own history book.

We will see who the world powers will support in order to achieve peace in this island. Anybody can see that the Tamils’ homeland is in Tamilnadu. Even the LTTE was formed and trained and financed from Tamilnadu. When Pakistan was created the Muslims had to move there. After Israel was created the Jews have the right to return to Israel from anywhere in the world. Srilanka can seek international assistance to get Tamilnadu declared as something equivalent to Israel, where any Tamil can move if he/she wishes. That way we don’t have to handle these totally unjust Tamil demands. Any Tamil who is unhappy here can relocate to Tamilnadu.
You Tamils talk only of independence and British era, because you do not have a history here. You do not have a genuine attachment to this island. Do you know the destruction the British did here? You talk of best economy in 1948 – that was after the British had destroyed our indigenous industries and economy. What good is it to us, if this so called “best economy” is based on imported Tamil labour and land expropriated from innocent Sinhalese peasant population? Is that an economy at all. That is called colonialism, which the Tamils love soooo much. And do you know the ecological and environmental hazards this so called “best economy” put us into? Even after the British’s own experts warned not to cut down the trees, the British colonial government cleared the trees and made our highlands into plantations. Now its raining heavily, and before long, maybe in a couple of days there will be floods and landslides and you are talking of “best economy”! LMAO. What do you care about who dies in the floods? You are safe in your asylum hostel somewhere in the west.

You Tamils are a very wicked and deceitful people, who want to rob our island by saying all these nonsense stories and making up allegations against us. Be clear about one thing – you have absolutely no history here. You heard of Nagas in our chronicles in the 19th century and then you want to claim that they are Tamils. These Nagas mentioned in our chronicles are not Tamils. They are most probably not even humans but are just supernatural beings in Sinhalese Buddhist stories or a gothra of one of primitive tribes which make up the Sinhalese. You have this idea that Nagas are Tamils, because in your homeland Tamilnadu, some believe that Nagas were Tamils, but the Tamil literature is clear on this, that the Nagas were non-Tamils. Ref. Manimekalai – which clearly states that the Nagas were not Tamils. Also, the scholars say that the Nagas in Tamilnadu were probably a pre-Tamil tribe who got Tamilized in historical times.
Anyways, you don’t have to worry about Nagas or the Vaeddas or for that matter the Sinhalese or our history. You are just an immigrant Tamil man, and you should look for your history in Tamilnadu.

” Through this period of violence in Srilanka, the Muslims remained Patriotic for a unitary state”.Is it your contention that the Tamils who fought for their lost right were not patriotic? It is because they were patriotic they fought for their rights in Srilanaka, where as the Muslims continued to play a double game. During the 1983 riots, against the Tamils, quite a number of Muslims subtly supported the Sinhalese and threw large stones at the Tamil houses especially at Wellawatte, forcing the Tamils who were in two minds, whether to leave or not to leave, to vacate the houses, so that they could buy the houses cheap. Even lately the Muslims in the east did similar tactics to put out the Tamils in certain areas so that they can buy their houses with Arab Money.
What ever the situation may have been, it was not correct to have put out the Muslims from the north, but the fact remain that the Muslims were not innocent as they pretend to be. They were in the process of of doing a spy work against the Tamils/Tigers which resulted in the forced exodus. To-day the Sinhalese and Tamils who sympathized with the Muslim exodus from the North appear to have changed their minds. Most of the people killed on 4/21 (75%) in the churches were Tamils. Why did they do this? especially at Battticaloa? where Muslims and Tamils live side by side and the St. Anthony’s Kochchikade where Tamil Mass was in progress. Why din’t the Muslims select the predominantly Sinhalese areas?. Is it because the Tamils were an easy target after the war? and Sam/Sum will support you at any cost as they support the government.
Your statement that the Lankan Muslims are descendants of Arab Traders who were married to the Lankan women is devoid of facts. If they were from Arab what made them to adopt Tamil as their mother Tong. even in Sinhala areas?

Contd: Hilmy , you gave the game away and had admitted to Muslim treachery of spying for the Sinhalese and siding with them against the Tamils who were fighting for their just rights and trying to safe guard what was left of their ancient homeland from state sponsored Sinhalese racism and Muslim treachery , to deny them of their rights, steal their lands. This is patriotism and justice , fighting for your land, language and culture not joining with forces of racism and oppression that you Muslims did for selfish opportunistic political and economic power. There was nothing patriotic about you fake Arab , largely low caste immigrant Dravidian converts from South India. patriotic people do not lie , deny their actual heritage and claim all sorts of heritage thinking this will politically and economically benefit them. Patriotic people also stand up for justice and truth , as this is what benefits the country on the long run and not join forces with evil racist , even if it is the state , to discriminate, marginalise , commit genocide and war crimes on sections of your fellow countrymen , with whom you fake Arab , immigrant South Indian converts , shared a common language, ethnicity and culture. You sided with the Sinhalese not because of patriotism but for deliberate opportunism , as you wanted to marginalise , ethnically cleanse and chase away as much as Tamils from the island , as possible , so that you can establish your fake Arab, converted South Indian immigrant community , as the second largest community in the island and steal Tamil peoples land to establish a homeland for your people. especially in the east. This is why Muslim mobs joined Sinhalese thugs and criminals , in the south during state sponsored pogroms to kill rape and loot Tamil homes and business, Muslim home guards were doing the same thing in the east. They were starting this in the north and the LTTE not wanting a repeat of what happened in the south or east chased them away.

Well said Anaga you had stated a lot of things that I wanted to post. This is Hilmy in my opinion is another Islamic extremist. he once posted that the Amparai Tamils who are the indigenous population in the east , own far more land compared to their percentage and the Muslims should make every effort to obtain these lands and increase their percentage of ownership. Of course the Tamils will own a lot of land in the east, as they are the ancient indigenous population of the east , who historically ruled the east and owned all the land. The Muslims only arrived here a few centuries ago as refugees , fleeign Portuguese persecution begging from asylum from the Tamils , as the Sinhalese did not want them in their areas. He again went to many western embassies to gain support from them for Muslim settlement in the Wilpattu wilderness and many other areas of Mannar and Vanni , falsely stating around 200000-300000 Muslims were displaced from the north. What nonsense only around 60000 Muslims were displaced from the north . Mostly from the Mannar region and even after 30 years , their natural increase will never come upto even 100000 . He was part of the move to Islamise the north and east and Wahhabise them with out of area Muslims , under various false pretexts. As for this constant lie and claim of Arab origin for the Sri Lankan Muslims what a joke, they is hardly any Arab or any other blood in them. 95% of more are purely descended from largely low caste Indian Tamil Hindu converts , who migrated to the island a few centuries ago. History DNA and all other evidence points to this. Even look at Hilmy, does he look Arab? However they think a lie often repeated becomes the truth. Even the Arabs have stated that Sri Lankan Muslims are South Asian converts to Islam. Meaning Tamil Hindu converts to Islam. Sinhalese ancestors my foot. Sinhalese /Arab ancestry but speaking an Indian Malabar Muslim Tamil dialect.

K. Anaga, The majourity who died in the easter bomb attacks were Sinhalese. The Muslims who did this, as you claim, are also Tamils.
The wife of the Tamil-speaking-Muslim man who bombed the Katuwapitiya church was Pulasthini Rajendran, a pEelam Tamil woman, who was not satisfied with bombing only Christian churches, she wanted to bomb Buddhist temples too. She had bought white clothes to carry out more suicide attacks just a day or two after the easter bombings!!!
In Katuwapitiya some 92 people died. All were Sinhalese except for one Muslim child, who had gone to see the easter celebrations.
In Batticoaloa 25 died. I presume all were Tamil.
In the hotels some 45 foreigners died.
In Kochchikade church some some 90 odd people had died. Majourity there too were Sinhalese, as per information in the funeral reports from media.
So, how can you say that 75% of the victims were Tamils? Do you have documented information?

“Although Muslims were subject to ethnic cleaning in the North by the LTTE or the many violent riots perpetrated on them in the presence of the security forces since the end of the war, the Muslim community never imagined a group of Muslim youth would resort to violence or acts of terror .”

Radicalisation of Muslims is nothing new, it’s been going on for many years, at least from late 1980s or early 1990s.

As an author/commentator you should be aware of your surrounding.
You never acknowledge the existence of Muslim Home Guard/Dead Squad operating in the East from mid 1980s, which received training/arms and salary and protection and under the control of Sri Lankan armed forces .
–
According to Ravindra Wijegunaratne and Gotabhaya Muslims played a key role in intelligence gathering and fighting (killing innocent) LTTE.

How did the Muslim intelligence operatives miss hearing/seeing Muslims being radicalised, stockpiling, explosives and preparing for the arrival of Caliph and into much more sinister and larger agenda?

Hilmy A, As per the Sinhala saying goes” Mecko Meckoma thamai” you can never take these people out of the dustbin, no matter how much you try, they will always fall back in, its in their gene, as Robert Knox says, they think the low level of cunningness they possess to be a high level of intelligence, where as they don’t realize that they are shooting them in their foot— if the current trend of oppression of Muslims continue, it will be matter of time before the next Zahran comes in, what the cunning Sinhalese don’t realize is that the “die is cast” the unimaginable in the Muslim community has already happened, its like taking the first dive in the swimming pool, now more will easily follow , already people are starting feel we need more people like Zahrans to combat the Sinhalese mobs, as the government or law enforcement is not doing anything for the last so many years
They don’t realize that for the Muslims now it’s” get busy living or get busy dying” and the choice is becoming very clear by the day

Demalu also thought the same way and you saw what happened. Although Demalu wanted to punish Sinhalayo at the end Demala community suffered more than Sinhalayo. If the Muslim community produce more Zaharans they will face even a greater tragedy because Muslims are scattered all over the country in small pockets. It is good if Muslim politicians who are tacitly supporting Wahabi extremists take this into account.

In addition to Mahawamsa, Sinhalayo have Chulawansa, Deepawamsa, Bodhiwamsa and several other books that provide the heritage of Native Sinhalayo. ‘Koti Diaspora’ members ridicule Mahawamsa because Demalu do not have such a document. As Jane Russel points out “The Ceylon Tamils had no written document on the lines of the Mahavamsa to authenticate their singular and separate historical authority in Sri Lanka, a fact which Ceylon Tamil communalists found very irksome”. (Russel, Jane: Communal Politics under the Donoughmore Constitution, Tisara Prakasakayo, Dehiwala, Sri Lanka, 1982. p.131)

Did he use that money for propagating Islamic fundamentalism and terrorism. His connection with Bathurdeen smells a rat about his activities.

Someone please give Hilmi Ahmed a full Qaran. He says his Qaran does not talk about killings, etc. Obviously a lot of pages of the Devil’s book of torture and murder of Kaffirs called Qaran have been carefully removed from his personal version.
All the crazy, barbaric Moslems follow the real Qaran, the ultimate book of terror. Zahrans and other murderous maniacs and cannibals are breeding like vermin in Lanka. My personal belief is well over 80% are totally radicalized and Hilmi types are the Taqqia experts who engage in hoodwinking the Kaffirs until the Moslems are large enough in numbers and weapons are made ready for the wholesale massacre of Kaffirs.
Lankan Kaffir beware!! If you are Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, pagan, whatever, you are a target for Moslem fanatics who want to feast on your dead and dismembered bodies of Kaffirs like you. Their next attack will be even more lethal with nerve gas and perhaps agents of bubonic plague, sent to them from Pakistan. It behooves all Kaffirs to be very careful the next few months.

It is funny to say that the country was in “peace” since the end of the Eelam war in May 2009. I don’t know what you mean by “peace”. Ending war is not always result in peace. I would say the country was not in peace since May 2009. You never call dictaorship as peace. What happened after May 2009 was a dictatorship. Do you call the atack on Muslims in Dumbulla, Kurunagala and other parts of Srilanka in 2012? Have you forgotten the attack on Muslims in 2014 at Aluthgama and other parts of Srilanka? Have you ignored 2018 attack on Muslims in Ampara and Kandy? You may not talk about what was the result of end war in May 2009. The number of people massacred in the war, number of surrendered people murdered at the end of war and the number of people still suffering in the jail without any charges.
For Muslims, the recent riots lokks as not peace but Tamils there was no peace for many decades.

Now, Everybody knows who created Zaharan: Even Saudi Arabia lost two Airline employees staying in one of those hotels. That is absurd. On the other hand, Web news say Saudi Arabian Royal family members funded the operation, most probably on behaf of CIA (They created the MyanMar Rohingya issue too).
the important thing behind, there is a Video that Hisbulla is talking to two Saudi Arabians in front of a Kathankudy Hotel. they are carrying white bag and looks like money.
The why Rishad Bathiuddin and Hakkem from time to time went to Europe for vacation and who asked them to go to GENEVA. Rishad Bahiuddin studied in the UK, where he could have exposed to British Wahhabis. Hisbulla was studying in India where he could have exposed to Tamilnadu Thawheeds. why did Fowzie quit to UNP. were they expecting some thing from UNP. Even now they resigned as a gang, that should be organized.
Muslim politics is very sinister. they talk Islamophobia and BBS and allowed Zaharan to get train, function and b,low up innocent. Zaharan was created by the govt by allowing him to create himself. All over the world muslims are being used as terrorist. Muslims had to be terrorists once the cold was war over. Because, war has to continue and muslim politics do that happily.

Hilmy,
The history of Muslims in Sri Lanka
The Sri Lankan Muslims/Mohammedans (a religion and not an ethnicity) are the third largest ‘ethnic’ group in Sri Lanka comprising 9% of the country’s total population. They are made up of the Moors (Sonakar/Yonaka or Marakkar/Marakkala) from South India, the Malays from Malaya, the Ja (Javanese) from Indonesia, the Memons (Baai people) from Pakistan and the Bhoras and Khojas (Shia Muslims) from North India. Other than the Bhoras and Khojas, all others are Sunni Muslims. It was actually the Portuguese who named the Malabar Muslims as Moors (a Moorish identity). The Moors were also known as Nana/Kaaka in Tamil and Thambi in Sinhala. The Malays who were originally settled in Hambantota were called Hamba but later, all the Malayas were known as Hambayas. The Traditional Sri Lankan Sunni Muslims were from the Shafii sect and some of them were also the followers of Sufi traditions (Sufism). Salafism and Wahhabism were introduced recently within the Sunni Muslims of Sri Lanka due to strong influence and heavy funding from Saudi Arabia.
The bulk of the Muslims in Sri Lanka are the Moors (Malabar – Arab mixed) who came to Sri Lanka from South India. The fact is that Islam had come to South India (Chera/Kerala) direct from the country of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) in the 7th century, while it reached North India much later. Arab traders used to visit the western coast of India (Coastal Malabar) as early as the 7th century AD. Malabar region in South India was a link between them and ports of South East Asia to trade. They intermarried with the local people (Hindus) in Malabar and with this admixture the large Muslim community of Kerala evolved. The first Indian mosque (Cheraman Juma Masjid) was built in 621 CE by one of the last kings of the Chera Kingdom, Shankara Varman or Chenkal Perumal who got converted to Islam and facilitated the proliferation of Islam in Malabar.

Hatim Effendi / June 4, 2019
Those who adopted the religion of the Arabs in the Tamil country (Kerala/Tamil Nadu) came to be referred to as ‘Sonakar’ (Jonakar or Chonakar) irrespective of their racial origin. The ‘Sonakar’ were Malabars/Tamils (Hindus) from the Malabar and Coromandal coasts of South India who were the earliest converts to Islam in South India. Writers such as Humayun Kabir (Indian Heritage) has pointed out that the majority of the Muslims of South India are converts to Islam (from Hinduism) and not Arabs.
Barbosa in his account of the Island in 1519 in his book ‘Economic, Political and Social Geography of Maritime Asia’ says, a large numbers of ‘Moors’ from the South Indian (Malabar and Coromandel) Coasts resorted constantly to Sri Lanka. Barbosa speaks of their heads covered with handkerchiefs and of their earrings so heavy that they hang down to their shoulders. A handkerchief was necessary to cover their shaven crowns, while the earrings indicated most emphatically their South Indian origins. They lived primarily in coastal trading and agricultural communities, preserving their Islamic customs and the South Indian language/culture. (It describes a lot more about them).
The inter-marriage between the local women with the Moorish Arab Merchants was in fact encouraged by the Zamorin kings of Calicut/Kozhikode (Northern Kerala commonly known as Malabar), the reason why the Muslims (Moors) are fair in complexion with sharp features when compared to others in the region. A good number of Malabar Muslims (Sonakar) were enlisted in the naval force of Zamorin and given the title of Marakkar (so named because they were using wooden boats known as Marakkalam). These Marakkar (Moors) became the traders in the Indian Ocean operating from the ports of Calicut/Kozhikode and Cochin.The Marakkar established a monopoly in the commercial activities in the Indian Ocean and one of their main trade was spices.

Hatim Effendi / June 4, 2019
The South Western coast of Sri Lanka where the premium quality spices (such as cinnamon) were grown was the first landing/settling place of the Marakkala/Yonaka/Moor Muslims of Malabar in Sri Lanka in the late 14th century. Even today the Sinhalese call them Marakkala Minissu. The Sinhalese also used to call the Sonakar as Yonaka during the early days. They are the people who brought the banana known today among the Sinhalese as Koolikutu (from Kozhikode/Malabar), in Jaffna they call it Kappal palam (because they brought it in the ship/Kappal from the Kozhikode port). Vattil Appam is a Malabar dish introduced to Sri Lanka by these Marakkar/Sonakar Muslims (Moors). Since then it has got modified in Sri Lanka as Watalappam and certain amount of its taste has changed.
One of the famous Malabar Merchants who traded in cinnamon with Sri Lanka and sold them to the Portuguese in Calicut/Kozhikode (before the Portuguese came to Ceylon) was the Markar family. Later, some members of the Markar family (the Marakkar/Sonakar/Moor Muslim families) settled in the Island. It is the members of the Markar family who took the ‘Parangiya to Kotte’ when the Portuguese wanted to meet the King of Kotte and we all know how the Parangiya went to Kotte.
The settlement at Beruwala (South-West coast of Sri Lanka), which the Sri Lankan ‘Muslims/Moors’ generally admit to be the first of all their settlements, took place not earlier than the 14th century (after 1344). Ibn Batuta (Arab explorer from Morocco) visited the Island in 1344, but makes no mention of any ‘Muslims/Moors’ at Beruwela (or anywhere else in the Island) though it lay directly on his route from Galle to Colombo.

Hatim Effendi / June 4, 2019
The affairs of Sri Lanka (economy) during the time of Bhuvanaike Bahu (King of Kotte) was in most critical condition. Within a short period, all the trade in the Island was in the hands of the Moors and they were more powerful than the natives. The wealth which this trade had brought to the country rendered them powerful and gave them ascendency over the Sinhalese rulers. Their aim at that time was to become the absolute rulers of Sri Lanka.
The arrival of the Portuguese saved the Sinhalese from the Moors becoming the rulers. When the Portuguese arrived, it was the Moors who first organized resistance against them and urged King Bhuvanaike Bahu and his brothers Mayadunne and Raigam Bandara to oppose the Portuguese. However, the Portuguese not only took over the trade but also persecuted the Moors and saved the Sinhalese from the slavery of the Moors. The Portuguese treated them harshly, they suffered widespread persecution because (1) they refused to become converts to Christianity (2) they were their rivals in trade. Professor Courtnay in his ‘History of Ceylon’, (pp. 13-14) says that had not the Portuguese come to Sri Lanka the entire Island would have come under the control of the Moors. Due to the Portuguese persecution, the Moors were seeking help from King Senarat of Kandy who settled them in the North-Eastern Coasts of Sri Lanka.
Every Muslim (Moor) village in Sri Lanka from South-West to North-East carries with it a Tamil/Malabar name (Peruveli aka Beruwela, Sammanturai, etc), a pointer to the fact that the original Moor occupants had hailed from Malabar and spoke from the beginning the Malabar/Tamil language, whatever their present ‘nationality’, ‘race’ and ‘language’ might be. Some of them still bear Malabar names like Periya Marikkar, Sinna Lebbe, Pitchai Thamby and so on.

Hatim Effendi / June 4, 2019
There is hardly any difference between ‘Ceylon Moors’ and ‘Indian/Coast Moors’. The difference between ‘Ceylon Moors’ and ‘Indian/Coast Moors’ is, the ‘Ceylon Moors’ represent the earlier Muslim settlers/traders in Ceylon from South India (before the Portuguese arrived in Sri Lanka). The ‘Indian Moors’ consists of those who came recently to Sri Lanka from South India (after the Portuguese period).
It is wrongly believed in Sri Lanka that the Sri Lankan Muslims (Moors) descend from Moorish Arab merchants who married native (Sinhalese & Tamil) wives after having them converted to Islam. The fact is, bulk of the ‘Moors’ in Sri Lanka, as it has been amply demonstrated, are not Moorish Arab Merchants but Tamil/Malabar speaking Sonakar/Marakkar who came from South India. Except for a few visitors like Ibn Battuta, the Arabs did not come direct to Sri Lanka. If they had come to Sri Lanka (South Western coast) direct from the Middle Eastern Arab countries and married to Sinhalese women, today their descendants (Sri Lanka Moors) should be speaking Arabic or Sinhala as their mother tongue but throughout the island even today their mother tongue is Malabarish Tamil. All these days, as a religion they were following Islam but as a culture they were following the Malabarish Ceylon culture. Only very recently they have adopted the Arab culture in order to show others that they are more Arabs than the Arabs themselves. However, the fact is, if any Sri Lankan Muslim/Mohammedan go to any Arab country and say he is an Arab (by ancestry), they will only laugh. In Saudi Arabia and all the surrounding Arab countries, the Arabs do not consider the Sri Lankan Muslims as a part of their (Arab) people.
This is the brief history of the Tamil speaking Moors/Muslims of Sri Lanka also known as Sonakar/Chonakar (in Tamil) or Marakkala/Yonaka (in Sinhala). They came from South India (Malabar) for spice trading and settled in the South-West coast of Sri Lanka in the late 14th century.

May I know “amply demonstrated” by whom– not the RSS person I hope.
*
Arab traders have been here from times before the Portuguese. The famous “Monsoon Steel” produced in the island using wind-driven furnaces was bought by Arab traders (between 9th and 12th Centuries), that was more than a few years before European explorers even heard the name of the country.
*
The Indian Moors all along identified themselves apart from Ceylon Moors. Most returned to India by the 1950s. Those who remained integrated with other Muslim communities.
*
The complexion and facial features of Ceylon Moors considerably differ from that of Tamils.
One often tell apart a Muslim (except a very recent convert) from a Tamil in any part of the island. Many have visibly Arab looks, not always predominantly.
No Muslim here calls himself an Arab, but is proud of his/her Arab origins.

Gujarati & south Pakistani traders did trading with East Indies now called Indonesia with the help of Sea farars in south & south west of the Island. No Indians were seafarars. even chola used Lanken Sea Farars services to do overseas Trading. When Delhi sultanate rule collapsed in south India Base born lot ( South Indian dalite prostitutes plus Afghan soldiers) came here with Gujarati & south Pakistani Marine traders on their way to east Indies.Due to Tsunami Situation they could not go to east Indies but temporally stayed here. Portuguese chase away Gujarati & south Pakistanis but refugees lot stayed here. .

No they do not do not lie you nasty apologist. More than 95% of the Sri Lankan Muslims of so called Sri Lankan Moors including the author of this article and all others , look exactly like South Indian Dravidians that they really are. DNA analysis and historical and many other evidence like language , culture dress proves this South Indian and not Arab origin. Arabs hardly came to the island or even to the shores of South India ( east of west) . Only a few hundred came over a span of a few centuries and only a few amongst them would have taken local low caste South Indian women as their harlots or keeps. Their actual Arab wife would have been in the Gulf and they would have had a woman of low morals or some poverty stricken low caste/Dalit woman as their keep. Upper /Middle caste women would have never consented to this. This is not an insult but the truth. These half caste Tamil speaking Arab/Tamil bastards were the first Muslims in India but they were just a microscopic minority , the vast majority are low caste/Dalit Tamil Hindu converts to Islam . During Islamic invasions from the Delhi Sultatanate rule of Madurai and Tippu Sultan’s rule in northern Kerala many upper castes were also forcibly converted but they are a minority. The Kerala Mappila Muslims have the most amount of Arab amongst Indian Muslims and even they have around 85% Indian DNA . The Sri Lankan Muslims are largely descended from Tamil Dravidian Muslims from Southern Tamil Nadu and a few from then Tamil Kerala. When challenged only a few hundred families amongst the Sri Lankan Muslims were able to produce evidence of a distant male Arab ancestor and these people , will not amount to more than 4% the most amongst the so called Moors, the rest are all Dravidians.

Muslims both here and in south India do have an Arab ancestry. Just look at them. Most of them look very different from the Sinhalese and Tamils, who are more or less the same people. Most Muslims are much lighter in the complexion than Tamils and Sinhalese, and their features and build too are different. Also, Siva Sankaran Sarma, ancestry is one thing, and identity, and identity politics are something else. It doesn’t hurt anybody that the Muslims claim an Arab descent and want to have a separate identity from the Tamils. Why are you so upset about this?
/
Pandi Kutti / June 6, 2019
You would love that and encourage this , as this is what all Chingkalam led governments and Chingkalla Poutha extremists have been doing from independence , encouraging the island’s Thullkans to create a separate identity from the Thamizh by claiming an imagined Arab origin , that they hardly have. An identity should be based on truth and not on myths. Punchi Brain/Willy but you are too stupid or vindictive to understand this truth.

SJ,
Looks like you are a Ceylon Moor who is biased with your own belief. If you read very carefully what Hatim E has written, all your doubts will be cleared.
‘amply demonstrated by’, he has given references like Barbosa’s account of the Island and many more.
Arab traders never came direct to Sri Lanka, only Arab travelers like Ibn Battuta came for a short visit. If you have any evidence to prove, please quote your references. Hatim has mentioned very clearly how and why the complexion and facial features of Malabar Moors differ from Tamils. Please read again until you are able to understand.

SJ / June 5, 2019
WM
Sorry to say that I am no more, no less a Muslim than you or Hatim are. However, with my atheistic views, that should not matter to me.
*
Arab traders arrived many centuries before the Portuguese, as early as 7th Century. By 8th Century, they dominated trade in the Indian Ocean. (Have you heard about Monsoon Steel?)
Arab traders settled around nearly all port cities in the Indian Ocean region.
They settled in sizeable numbers along the West Coast of Kerala.
Arab settlements in Tamilnadu included settlers from Yemen in the pre-Islamic period.
In Kerala, the Portuguese identified two groups of Muslims: Arabs and land based Muslims. Islam being caste-free, mixing continued unhindered unlike among ‘Hindus’.Thus it would be rather silly to assume that all South Indian Muslims are free of ‘Arab blood’.
*
Claims to Arab origin do not mean claims to being Arab. As the settlers were predominantly males, there was inevitable mixing with locals and other races.
*
Notably, Arabs also settled in several parts of our island with no Tamil presence. (Adoption of Tamil as a second or first language was motivated by Tamil being the language of trade at least until the collapse of Tamil sea power.)
*
Fake DNA theories will not make none any the wiser.

You reap what you sow. Muslim terrorists came from Muslim wombs. If Muslims turned a blind eye, face the consequences.
Now these isolated incidences are getting more prominence than the barbaric terrorist attack.

Demala mothers also produced Demala terrorists and the Demala community paid a high price for that.

Isolated incidents? Destroying five mosques and dozens of businesses in NWP in a space of 24 hours?
It seems that you brain is totally isolated from reality.

So, when will those who perpetrated violence against other communities since 1915 (really late 19th Century) pay their price?
Or have they already started to pay? Look at the state on the country!

You got it wrong.
It was Muslims who destroyed their mosques and business in NWP and then blamed the Sinhala/Buddhists. It is like good old days, Tamils used to burn their houses, properties, businesses, kill their own people (1958, 1977. 1981, 1983, over 30 years) then blame the innocent Sinhalese. By the way they destroyed their Library with 95,000 books.

Native Vedda and SJ,
Descendant of slaves brought from Malabar by Portuguese and Dutch do not know the history of Sinhale. Para Demalu started terrorizing native Sinhalayo around 3rd century BC. They invaded Sinhale, killed millions of Native Sinhalayo and destroyed Sinhala Kingdoms Anuradhapura and Pollonnaruwa forcing Native Sinhalayo to leave that area.
—
This is an excerpt from a speech given by President Chandrika Kumaratunge
“On the other hand, I dare say, that there are reasons to justify the fears of the Sinhala. History records that ancient Lanka was invaded 52 times in 14 centuries by South Indian rulers, and was conquered and ruled by a few times. This may be sufficient to sow fear in the common conscience of the Sinhala people.”

EE: “ancient Lanka was invaded 52 times in 14 centuries by South Indian rulers,”
*
Of the said 52 occasions, all but a few were on invitation by rivals to the throne.
(Sinhalese mercenaries too were hired in India, when they were not fighting each other here.)
*
There was no language based nation at the time. Non-Sinhala-speaking kings ruled this island for a good part of its history, and defended Buddhism and did not impose their language on any.

I do not hate any person or community. But I hate cruel deeds..
But every ethnic group here with the exception of the Malays and the Attho have been guilty of the worst imaginable crimes against another or several communities.
My response was to a comment by EE.
If revenge is what you want, more of it is what you receive. If you are hell bent on self destruction nothing on earth or heaven can save yous.
There are very few Buddhists in this country, and I admire them. What we mostly have are some kind of confused Hindus who declare themselves to be Buddhist. I like them too.

“Demala community paid a high price for that”
Ha, ha, ha….
Look at the country, look at the people (majority), what has 30 years of war made to the country and people? Where should the country & people be today but where are we now? Who has paid the high price? Who are the biggest losers? It’s the majority! Demalu may have lost the war but they have not lost their rights, look at the Demala politics today in Sri Lanka, do they look like they have paid a high price. They are still talking loudly about federalism and self-determination.
On the other hand, you made the Demalu refugees but it only took them a very short time to bounce back and become millionaires in their host lands. Within a matter of thirty years the Demalu have become one of the most powerful Diaspora in the world. They have become experts in everything good as well as bad, jack of all trades. The Demala Diaspora will do anything and everything in the West to earn money and establish themselves. Today there are more than a million Sri Lankan Demalu (Diaspora) around the Western World right from North America to Australia/New Zealand doing extremely well. All their children are attending the top class universities in the World. Their children have achieved what they could have never achieved in Sri Lanka. Most of them are top most professionals in their chosen field, whether it is medicine, science, engineering, IT technology or even space travel. Demalu have become an important partner in the development and the progress of their host countries.
Today, with their money and vote bank, the Demalu can, not only influence and lobby the western politics/politicians but also enter politics and contest elections. They have become rich and strong, just like the rich Jews controlling the American politics, the rich Demala (Diaspora) are now capable of financing election campaigns in the West.
So who paid the actual price heavily?

Citizen / June 5, 2019
Potta Eagle,
In 1948, the British handed over the entire country (a beautiful Sri Lanka) to the Singhalayas. For the last 71 years, they could not achieve even 1% of what the Suddha did to develop the country. We are only left with debt to the whole world and our women have become slaves to the Arabs. It is like giving a beautiful flower garland to a group of monkeys.
If the Majority want to keep Sri Lanka as a poor begging third world pariah state forever with continuous minority uprising which means political instability, economic shrinkage/crisis and international interference forever, you can have it. Don’t worry, if you push the minorities down the pallam, they will pull the majority also along with them. When there is no peace for minorities, there won’t be any peace for the majority either. If you majority deprive the minority rights, you also will continue to suffer along with the minority. The history will continue to repeat. The majority must understand this basic law.

“Demalu also thought the same way and you saw what happened”, what happened, 30 years war, more than 100,000 dead, and still the demalu is going strong locally and internationally, and you think the demalu problem is over, you are sadly mistaken, they will never let you live peacefully, they will create problems and more problems every step of the way until justice is done.
Now you start with the Muslims another 100,000 dies, so what, still there 2.1 million people left, you cannot expect to go to war and not have any casualties, muslims are already suffering with no end, so for them it doesn’t matter much, people are anyway going to die, nobody is going to live forever, imagine during the next 100,000 death, what will happen to the Sinhalese and the country, unlike the Muslims who are not scared to die, as Edvin Rodrigo says there are 72 virgins waiting for them, where as the sinhalese a dead scared for their life, also, the problem with the muslims unlike with the tamils is that muslims are everywhere in the world, the middle east, europe, the US and even in timbattu, Sinhalese who are living and employed overseas all will also become a target, imagine what that will do the Sinhalese, the only life they have will become nightmares after nightmares.
The more you think about it, i think Robert Knox said 350 years ago about the Sinhalese, was spot on, they think the low level of cunningness they possess to be of a high level of intelligence”
So now you have created two problems- the Tamils and now the Muslims, its like “Ali madiwata Koti” sadly for the good citizens of the country, all will start to migrate wherever possible as this country will only go south until finally it self destructs

Concerned Citizen,
Demalu asked for war and Sinhalyo gave it. You saw what happened. If Muslims want war Sinhalayo will not hesitate to give war. Sinhalayo ended war with Demalu at Nandikadal. The war with Muslims will end in Kattankudy reducing the Muslim population in this country by 50%.

Punchi Point / June 5, 2019
Now please don’t blame the Sinhalese for Muslims creating the ISIS too….
I do feel sorry for the Muslims and sympathize with them, as it is totally not the fault of the Muslims as a community what happened on Easter, but the Muslims and the corrupt scholars and even more corrupt journalists should stop trying to make a case against the Sinhalese for some Muslims detonating themselves killing a couple of hundred innocent people.
If Zaharan was created due to Sinhalese intolerance headed by monks as the allegation goes, then why did Zaharan’s group attack the Christian churches and not Buddhist temples?
Also you are talking of ancient Muslim settlements here – and you are drawing on that ancient Muslim presence and then talking of Sinhalese intolerance about the peculiar modern Muslim attire etc. I guarantee you that if the Muslim women wore those tents around them when the Muslims came here, they would have been chased away already hundreds of years ago. It is simply disgusting to see these figures dressed in black moving like ghosts on streets, shops and all over the place. When we were growing up in the 80’s I never saw these “tents” moving in our streets. And as I understand these black tents have nothing to do with Islam either. Calling these tents attire is stupid. Please understand that my criticism is not based on ethnic or religious intolerance, but Muslims exclude us from the lives of Muslims by these totally segregating “attire”. All these criticisms stated, I personally will not tolerate any attack on Muslims or any other community, by these Sinhalese stone throwing useless terrorists.
Muslims must live TOGETHER with non-Muslims, not on the side covered with tents or on top of the rest of us.

It is sad that some of us cannot simply co-exist in harmony and spoil it for the others. None of us chooses which race/religion to be born into. Why do you think one race or religion is superior to another? Why can’t we help each other and lift each other up? Does trading insults and hurting each other add any value to anyone? The divisiveness was introduced by the politicians to win votes. Why do we fall into their trap?

I simple language communal policies of the Singhal governments after 1948 is the root cause of the problems in Sri Lank and decline in the economy of the country The Singhalese communal minded politicians just to be in power is doing the biggest damage to the island. The Muslim ministers have taught a good lesson for the monks and that government. Now the ME is up in arms. Foreign exchange eranings from ME Sri lann workers will be in jeopardy. Tourist indautry is affected. The business sector through which Income Tax brought revenue too is affected after the Mulsim riots in Singhala areas. Insurance corportaion may go bankrupt Tea industry will be affected soon if the singhalese goondas and Monks target Tamil Upcountry hard workers. Finally, the monks and Mahinda will have to carry a bowl and go out begging Tsunami taught them a lesson but they never changed

Hilmy Ahmed, don’t try to fool us by saying The Holy Quran teaches that to take a life is like killing the whole of humanity, and to save a life is like saving all of humanity.
.
If you want to find out who or what is creating the Zahrans, I can tell you. It is Islam. Though Muslims try to pretend that Islam is the most peaceful religion ever, it is not. It is the most violent and one sided religion ever. What other religion prescribes death sentence for apostasy? Not stopping there, it also rewards the murderer with fairy tails like 72 virgins. The Quran is so vague that any so called Mullah can interpret it in anyway he wants.
