Very unexpectedly a close Sinhalese friend of mine asked me why did not the Muslims retaliate when they were attacked? I was perplexed. Firstly, because he is a Sinhalese and, secondly, the thought of attacking people never occurs in the mind of a practising Muslim. Out of curiosity, I asked him “What do you mean by retaliate?” He said, “You all should have attacked business premises of the Sinhalese people in areas where you all are in majority.” Now, I became curious, since this is a Sinhalese speaking about attacking the Sinhalese. I asked him “What the hell is wrong with you and why are you talking like this?” He replied, “I am disgusted with these fellows. Believe me, after university I have never stepped into a temple.” Him mentioning ‘temple’ reminded me of our youthhood. I humorously reminded him how both of us used to hang around in the temple compound to catch a glimpse of his girlfriend. I said “Machan api bodhi pooja atha gaanawa mathakada, hebai esdeka wena kohedo neda.” He replied, “Those days are now gone. I really feel sorry for our growing up kids”
The question as to why the Muslims did not retaliate by attacking Sinhala houses or business premises requires an explanation. I have to distinguish here between a practising Muslim and a non-practising Muslim. The majority are generally, practising Muslims. In fact, the only religion in the world which has the largest number of practising followers is Islam. Anyway, we have our quota of black sheep like in any other community. A realistic comparison would be the Sinhalese racists who perpetrated the recent violence. They do not represent the majority of the respectable Sinhalese people. In fact, their criminal behaviour has embarrassed many Sinhalese people who feel ashamed.
Be Just Even To The Enemy
Self-defence is a religious obligation in Islam. Also, retaliating when attacked or repulsing an attack form part of this obligation. However, this obligation is restricted by several conditions. According to Islamic teachings, it is strictly prohibited for a Muslim to harm another innocent person for no reason. It is, also, strictly prohibited for a Muslim to wantonly take the life of another human being, whether Muslim or non-Muslim. Therefore, in response to the attack on Muslims in Digana, one cannot attack an innocent Sinhalese person in the streets of another part of Sri Lanka. Just because that person happens to be a Sinhalese. In the same manner, a Muslim cannot burn a house or a shop of an innocent Sinhalese person elsewhere. He would be committing a grave sin according to the teachings of Islam. Even at times like this Islam teaches equity and justice to be applied to all including the enemy. This partly explains why there were no such reprisals. The Quran states:
“O you who believe! Stand out firmly for Allah and be just witnesses and let not the enmity and hatred of others make you avoid justice. Be just: that is nearer to piety, and fear Allah. Verily, Allah is Well Acquainted with what you do.” (Chapter 5 Verse 8).
“O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even though it be against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, be he rich or poor,…” (Chapter 4 Verse 135).
‘Islam’ Means ‘Peace’
Islam also enjoins the Muslims to respect the law of the country in which they live so long as it does not violate the teachings of Islam. On that basis, Muslims as citizens of this country would expect the law enforcement authorities to establish law and order, prevent violence against persons and property and provide protection to the public. The requirement of taking the law into one’s hand does not arise under these circumstances.
The meaning of the word ‘Islam’ is ‘Peace’. Islam teaches several moral and ethical values which guides human beings towards living in society with peace and tolerance. Muslims believe that Allah is the Most Merciful; that Allah is the Most Forgiving; That Allah is the Pardoner of sins. Therefore, a good Muslim is never revengeful, is never unforgiving or is never unpardoning. On the contrary, a Muslim goes on the premise that when Allah, the Almighty is the Most Forgiving and the Most Merciful why should not I be merciful and forgiving towards another human being. After all, according to Islam it is our belief that Allah is the Creator of all mankind which obviously includes the Sinhalese people too.
“O mankind, worship your Lord who created you and those who lived before you, so that you may become righteous.” (Chapter 2 Verse 21)
Patience An Exalted Quality
A practising Muslim always strives to be patient to the best possible extent in any given situation. This also constitutes the part of the Islamic ethics which exalts the conduct of patience in a Muslim. The behaviour of the Muslim is what it is because of the act of forgiveness, mercy and the practise of patience at times of trials and tribulations. The Quran states:
“We shall test you through fear, hunger, loss of life, property, and crops. Give glad news to the people who have patience.” (Chapter 2 Verse 155)
There is a misconception amongst the Sinhalese racists who always alleges especially, in the social media that the Muslims act innocent and harmless when they are weak but will not hesitate to kill someone if they are in power. Therefore, the Muslims cannot be trusted. This is an utterly false statement and by this these racists are deceiving the Sinhalese people. They want to sow the seed of hatred in the minds of people and to this end would not stop at anything good or bad, right or wrong, moral or immoral. Shameless creatures, aren’t they?
Boastful Cowards
A distinction has to be drawn between being a coward and being an individual who practises patience. It is not an act of bravery but absolute cowardism to come in organised groups, armed with weapons and then attack innocent men, helpless women and traumatised children. Not only that, to solicit the support and complicity of the Police and the Special Task Force, to set alight closed shops, places of religious worship and houses of people who have not done any wrong to anyone. The lack of conscientiousness in these sick people is further amplified by their claim of heroism or boast as seen in Venerable Gnanasara Thero recent statement for example.
On the other hand, a person practising patience should not be misunderstood as being cunning or pretentious or as being a coward. The Muslims have shown great maturity on the face of the puerile behaviour of the ‘grown up’ racists and some self-deluded racist politicians, who think that they are smarter. The Muslims would not want to exacerbate a given situation by acting on their own. These are some of the virtues and values that restrains the practising Muslims from retaliating. As peace loving and law-abiding citizens, I think the Muslims are a great asset to this island, as part of a community showcasing multi-cultural, multi religious and multi ethnic diversity in unity.
“O you who believe! have patience, help each other with patience, establish good relations with one another, and have fear of God so that you may be successful..” (Chapter 3 Verse 200)

I have many a times , very very clearly , recorded here, Sri Lankan Muslims are the only one community who are utmost forbearing and tolerant and peace loving people who always stood against Terrorism and live with harmony.
If any natural disaster happens in Digana , Only Muslims will come forward to help Budhsist including those who had attacked and looted and killed them…….
The world has certified Sin Kele community as a Uncivilised and barbarians as they once lived in Jungles , because of a ‘ WAND PETHI’ weerayo..!! Even the most talented scientists are not able to invent a drug called as WAND PETHI but some Jungle Budda Rowdies are claiming there are …..SHAME …….

All that violence, hatred, looting, burning, and terrorizing, over a lump of flour….uneducated louts bring shame to the country, and the world looks upon us a nation of savages, who become violent, at the slightest hint of ridiculous rumors of sterilization tables, sweets that make Sinhala women barren, and that the 9 percent of Muslims are going to take over a 75 percent Buddhist country.
/
Al-faqurlah / March 14, 2018
Muslims are living scared of Sinhalese from the very outset. They did not retaliate because they know that the result will be disastrous. Even the mobs which caused mayhem never killed a single Muslim, which shows that it was well planned. Muslims are cowards and will attack only when they know other party is weak. You cannot say Muslims are peaceful because while violence on them was going on in Kandy, they attacked two Tamils and threw stones at Tamil homes and shops in Natpiddimunai. While Sinhalese were generous to repair the damaged Muslim shop in Anamaduwa, Muslims are denying committing crime on Tamils which even Malwatte Mahanayake thero has acknowledged and praised Tamils.

Common Man / March 13, 2018
We are all trying to live theoretically. Why cannot we live practically? We should all go to Arab and ask them to rebuild all those damaged Buddhist Monuments and Buddha Statutes damaged by the people living in the Arab. Arabs and all Muslim living countries have completely destroyed the original Buddhism from those countries and harassed all the Buddhists living there. Even a Buddhist cannot take a small Buddha Statute inside those Countries. Even a Buddhist cannot get in to the Parliament or play any sport to represent those countries. Why is this inhuman discrimination to Buddhists? Why cannot the Buddhists live in the Arab and Muslim Nations and allow them to practice Buddhism.
/
Navin / March 12, 2018
To retaliate would be adding fuel to the fire, and it would also play into the hands that are behind this organized and shameless attacked on Muslims. They are simply waiting for the Muslims to hit back, so that they can escalate the violence, and say “the Muslims are violent, their religion is violent, we told you so”.
Meanwhile the majority of Buddhists have condemned the disgraceful attacks on Mosques, homes, and businesses, and the terrorizing of the Muslim people, and only those supporting the militants and terrorists in saffron robes, justify the violence.
Anyone with half a brain realizes this.

K.Pillai / March 12, 2018
Mass L. Usuf asks ~ “Why Did Not The Muslims Attack?” and then takes the opportunity to sermonise – you know what?
The planners of the crisis hoped that there will be retaliation – however small. Fortunately this did not happen. A retaliation would have been used as a pretext to initiate a 1983 type bloodbath and in the ensuing melee some ‘nouveau riche’ would have changed the course of history.
Mass: Do you remember in 1958 pogrom against Tamils? The infamous Buddharakirtha Thero (of Kelani Vihara) gleefully watched the carnage. In 1959, he plotted the assassination of SWRD B. It transpired at the trial, the plan was to put the blame on a Tamil and in the resulting confusion take over the government and live happily ever after with………you know who?
So Mass, retaliation is not the way. But a high magnitude pogrom of the 2014 Aluthgama type is still possible. This must be prevented politically.

In Muslim countries, Muslims brutally attack and retaliate against fellow Muslims on a daily basis. If as You say, Muslims are such peace loving people, how do you explain that, Mass L. Yusuf? Or are Sri Lankan Muslims an exception?

edwin rodrigo, in Muslim countries western created problems are there the result is fighting otherwise they are peace loving people. You say Sri Lankan being Buddhist peace loving. What they did to Tamil LTTE? They killed left and right without mercy, why? Because LTTE started the war. What did Muslim do to Sinhalese? What Usuf saying is about peace loving Sri Lankan Muslims.
/
Al-faqurlah / March 14, 2018
Madmoho, “What did Muslim do to Sinhalese”. Get the opinion of Sinhalese people and you will be shocked. For your information there are only handful of peace loving Muslims in Sri Lanka. Their true nature will surface only if or when they get power. Sinhalese people do not want what Muslims did in Afghanistan and Pakistan to happen in Sri Lanka and will take every measure to prevent it, however drastic it be.
/
Godaya / March 14, 2018
You are comparing apples with oranges here. Muslims account to nearly 2 billion people in the world. That means nearly a fourth of the people living in the world are Muslims. So Muslims are far more widespread and live in so many countries. And most of these Muslim countries and organisations who fight are sponsored or meddled by the western powers. Do you think it won’t be the same if these powers did this to Buddhist/Christian countries too?
Anyway, the topic is now about the Sri Lankan Muslims. Why not stick to that? Have the Muslims in Sri Lanka caused problems to this country? Let’s talk about that.

Is there a single “believer” on this earth who does not think his belief is good and holy and divinely inspired ?
Marxist think they are inspired by history. Nazis thought they were inspired by racial superiority. Religious people think God has shown them the way ! Every religion thinks they are right .
Humans are a silly species !
/
Navin / March 12, 2018
Thinking you are superior is one bad quality, but attacking, terrorizing, and hurting others because of it, is reprehensible
/
Al-faqurlah / March 14, 2018
This is exactly what Muslims are doing in Muslim majority countries to others. In Buddhism nowhere it is stated that followers are superior to others, where in Islam it is clearly stated that non believers are infidels. It is a fact that Buddhism is the most peaceful religion in the world and Islam is the most intolerant religion in the world.

Mohomad / March 12, 2018
George backhole, in Pakistan they are trying get rid of terrorist, no communal violent, Afghanistan they are fighting with foreign legal terrorist and their supporters in the government, Syria the Alawites satans (the rulers for decades) who are around 20% trying to hold on the power and USA and Russia in the killing games, Saudi Arabia helping the 70% Sunni Muslims who were under siege by Shias, Iraq the killers Zionist and USA started the killing on false pretext to get rid of Saddam and the army which Zionist consider consider a threat to them. In Sri Lanka the LTTE terrorist who started the war were killed. So you fool tell here What the Sri Lankan Muslims did to Sinhalese to destroy them. Is there are any solid proof Muslims are harming Sinhalese?
/
Keynes! / March 12, 2018
Mass L.Usuf,
“between a practising Muslim and a non-practising Muslim. “
Still Muslim! …. as Jay Z would put it.
The reason why Muslims did not attack the Sinhalese was because of power. The Sinhalese have state power, whereas the Muslims do not.
In countries where Muslims have state power, the case is different. Take the persecution of the Copts in Egypt, or the persecution of Hindus in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. The persecution of Christians and Kurds in Turkey is another example.We can even take the persecution of Shia Muslims in Malaysia.
In Islam, apostasy is the equivalent to high treason in the modern nation-state. Rashied Omar, a scholar at the University of Notre Dame, has argued that the majority of modern Islamic jurists continue to regard apostasy as a crime deserving the death penalty.

Retaliate???????? Muslim extremists started the mayhem by killing innocent Sinhalese in Mahanuwara, and killed another innocent Sinhalese few days later. In protest, Sinhalese may have damaged few Muslim shops. REMEMBER, since 1915, Muslims have started all the fights so far.
–
Muslim extremists who were arrested with petrol bOmbs given bailout within few hours of the arrest while the Sinhalese who are only suspects have been remanded for weeks. Some justice!!!!!

Your Sinhalese friend is a Marxist/socialist/atheist, got his brain washed with new age bullish1t at the university, also they hate Muslims for being members of “danapathi panthiya (rich class)” and they don’t believe in g0ds.

It is hightime the elders in the Muslim community and religious leaders etc., come in unity to have real leaders who will rise against the violence and get the best for their community.
Do not expect these Hakeems., Fauzis, Faizers et al will give a shit about unity or well being of the community at all.
They are most corrupted individuals and we all see how they did went in Rajapaksa regime holding into ministerial positions and did utter a word again Gota’s killer squads who did manage to burn so many Muslim properties and religious establishments with the help of military intelligence.
It was an open secret the BBS was a MI creation and with so many CCTV evidence, Hakeems., Fauzis, Faizers could not prosecute a single hooligans in that regime.
Its time you need people like Sumanathirans and Sambandans among Muslim leaders and if not wait for the more bigger trouble.
Do not expect the rich Arab Sheikhs or Govts will come to rescue.
Get organised with real leaders, if not you will be like Rohingya refugees in few years.

The Wahabi writer has said that majority of 1.6 billion (21.8% of Global Population) Muslims follow Islam regularly or are practicing Muslims. Well most of the Sunni Muslims follow Sufism or Sufi Islam, only those in the Arab Middle East follow Wahabism. Wahabism has ONLY successfully entered into Sri Lanka and Maldives so far, after Saudi exported its petrodollars during the Gulf boom to fund Madrasas and.Wahabi learning. Wahabism failed to expand in India, Pakistan, Afghan and elsewhere like Egypt, Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, etc. It was rejected by most Muslims are too orthodox. Most Muslims who go to West are converting to other faiths or simply letting go of their original islamic faith. India is currently trying to make Hinduism the first religion of the state and asks Islamists to convert back to Hinduism or be 2nd/3rd class citizens.
320-350 Million Muslims are Shias or 20% of the Muslim population, why does this writer not tolerate this Shia or their beliefs (largely in Iran, Pakistan, Iraq & India) as practicing Muslims ?

The Plot: 4 Muslims brutally attack a young, lone Sinhala man and kill him on an incident that is so minor that Traffic police could have solved it. Naturally, emotions would be raised due to the clearly communal nature of the incident. Sinhalese start attacking the Muslims.
Now Yusuf is bragging how patient they are not to retaliate. Come on people, be realistic..

Maghribi / March 13, 2018
Why a criminal act is related to a Faith, specially to Muslims? Muslims firmly believe, Justice is ultimately served by the One Creator of Universe. Allah in this world and in the next. That’s far more effective than Muslims taking revenge for their loss of property. As Muslims we believe that Allah compensates, 10 fold more.
The Criminals are destroying Buddhist values openly and it’s pathetic to watch their Rulers turning a blind eye to their own destruction. The destiny of Buddhism is in the hands of Buddhists.

Muslims retaliate is not the answer, I am so glad that the muslims haven’t retaliate, I am not sure whether all these hooligans are Buddhist. But all I could think of these hooligans are not from decent families. They are all waste of space. who may have nothing important to do, may be bunch of crooks, who also want to take the advantage of looting and take home what ever they can. What I cannot understand is these saffron robe thugs, call them monks involve and do disgusting things. They have a good life doing nothing, eating the food provided by innocent people. acting so badly, and insult the good genuine monks, and the Buddhism. Me as a Buddhist, I feel ashamed to say that I am a Buddhist. I have no respect for these thuggary monks. Sadly Sir John has departed, He would have sorted out these monks. I cannot believe that president refusing to appoint Field Marshall Sarath Fonseka as law and order minister. Shame shame shame.

If Muslims as a community have any brains they will vote totally to JVP or to the TULF , or partly to JVP and Partly to TULF no one else deserves their vote.
The only two politicians who sincerely stood by Muslims this time were Samanthan and Anura Kumara Dissanayake .

Pragmatism and survival.
But practicing muslims attack, rape and kill people no? From beheading Buddhists in Chittagong, to rape and beheading by Taleban and ISIS. Negro Boko Haram Islamists selling little girls for sex slave trade. So it is indeed a surprise they did not defend on fight back. It is in our muslim blood to fight and to fight back and even create atrocities or go to war. Iraq-Iran war killed over 1.3 million muslim arabs and persians respectively. ISIS rapes christians and yazidi. It is indeed in the Quran to wage war against infidels and kill infidels.
So the question to ask was why not? smart Dravida Moors know they could only make matters worse and play into Wahabi hands. So sadly they did not defend their property.
But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.-At-Tawba verse 5

dingiri / March 12, 2018
Why didnt the Moslems retalliate? Stupid question. Does this man not know how vulnerable the Moslems are, isolated in small urban centres surrounded by Sinhalese villages. If the attacks happened in Kattankudy there certainly would have been retalliation and counter reprisal and the cycle would have continued. But still the Moslems would have been the eventual losers owing to their numbers and the nature of their livelyhoods, i.e. being business people with shops and factories to protect from maurauding Sinhalese hooligans. They are not people who can easily move to a new area and find a new job like most Tamils did after 1983. Their live’s earnings are invested in their businesses which are prominent and easy targets for those with no belongings or ties to one place. Added to this they are also dependent on the Sinhalese and Tamils who patronise their businesses without whom they will suffer financially. I am not saying the Moslem community is without its problems. As Dr. Amir Ali has written there has been pressure from the Saudi Wahabi school of thought that all Moslems around the world should culturally align with the Saudi dress, Saudi values etc and to distance themselves from the communities they live in. A classic example is the conditions placed by the Mullahs on Moslem girls who gain entrance to University to not fraternise with any non Moslems. How can you forge cohesion and gain acceptance and sympathy from others if you deliberately exclude yourself? We live fluid and dynamic societies attitude changes among one community does not happen in isolation. They elicit attitude changes in others too. The Sinhalese, Tamil and Moslem attitudes and political postures have changed and evolved in the last hundred years. People think they can win by adopting some hardline attitude towards others to justify some previous grievance. They do not calculate that over the years and over many cycles of tit-for-tat provocations and reprisals they could all end up losers.

Al-faqurlah / March 14, 2018
“If attacks happened in Katankudy there certainly would have been retaliation”. What nonsense. When LTTE killed 140 Muslims inside a Mosque, did they retaliate. Instead all atrocities committed by Muslims on Tamils prior to that stopped after that. Only after LTTE was destroyed that Muslims had started their atrocities on Tamils again. So much for the bravery of Muslims, who will only hit a weak target like in Teldeniya.

Islam is not a religion of peace, instead it is a religion of violence.Sura 9.29,states to kill the infidels,who don’t believe in Islam.Most of the Hadiths and Suras are created not by god but by pagan terrorists,who want to establish their rule all over the world.The prophet himself killed 900 jews in Mecca,also he attacked the caravans from Mecca to Medina.In which religion,the prophets killed innocent people?Jesus,said to love thy neighbour,Lord Buddha preached kindness to human.At last, if any body want to know evils of Islam,see the web site given below.www. answering muslim.com.

“Why didn’t Muslims attack?”
Why not? Muslims attacked & still attacking in a different way.
