Controversial Buddhist Monk Galagoda Atte Gnanasara of the Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) has declared that if he and his group had a ‘little’ political backing then they can end the rise of the Muslims in the country.
Speaking at an event recently in Korea where he addressed the Sri Lankans living there, Gnanasara also revealed how he systematically devised a successful plan to virtually destroy and abandon a Muslim town in Kuliyapitiya. “Sometimes, I feel like taking a T-56 and do what Prabhakaran did, but I can’t do it because I am in robes,” he said.
“We have more than 6000 to 7000 of our women who have converted to Islam after marrying Muslims. When we marry a Tamil or someone else we don’t get them to change their names, but when a Muslim fellow marries one of our women, then she is forced to become a Fathima and all the babies become Mohammeds. We must stop this,” he said.
Gnanasara said that this was a dangerous trend. “Our politicians are only greedy for power, they are ready to sacrifice for the party but not ready to do anything for the country. If these politicians only gave us a little backing we can end the rise of the Muslims,” he said.
Speaking further he said that there was a Muslim town which was located amongst Sinhalese villages. “But we systematically devised a plan over a year and today it is infested only with flies, no one else goes there,” a laughing Gnanasara said.
Elaborating further he said that the Muslim town was well off because the people in the town had money and they tried to take ownership of a playground in the area. “From the Sinhala village, a few old ladies had gone to sell their vegetable crop to a Muslim Mudalali in the town, but the Muslim Mudalali refused to buy saying that because they were not given the playground, the mosque had ordered them not to buy anything from the Sinhalese. These old women threw the vegetables onto the floor and then they and the others got together and started their offensive,” he said.
According to Gnanasara, today the Muslim town is absolutely abandoned. “There are now about 6 to 7 new shops owned by Sinhalese and the Muslim town is only infested with flies,” a very pleased Gnanasara said.

Most of the Tamil, Muslim and christian Politicians are working for their religions.
sinhala politicians are all Athiests and talk about national quation, reconiciliation and others rites.
Sinhala people should understand the real situation.

These men in saffron robes are
1) high criminals – born to be aggresive not being able to see it in a buddhist manner. Buddhism is for non-violence than violence should be learnt by them let alone today
2) Ghanasara should be kept away from human association by providiing him a rehabilitation course, even aggressive animals in Zoos are kept away from others, his aggresive potential is not to underestimate
3) Please authoriteis, get up and lock this man up….
if not today when ?

In your previous post you said Tamil politicians are talking about reconciliation after losing the war. Now you say Sinhala politicians are talking about reconciliation. When you lie, remember what you said in the past.

Jim Softly,
What kind of a society do you want to establish in Sri Lanka?
Do you want a primitive society or a modern society?
In modern societies your kind of thinking is never spoken of anymore. Anyone who does, will be the talk of the town for days to come; be it on radio, television, websites or the newspapers.
Clearly your statement says much about you as a person.

This Land belong to the the Native Veddah Arthho, and not to the Paras and their Para-Religions, such as Para-Hinduism, Para-Buddhism, Para-Islam and Para-Christianity etc.

“Sometimes, I feel like taking a T-56 and do what Prabhakaran did, but I can’t do it because I am in robes,”
Oh, you can remove the robe and give it a try.
The robe didn’t prevent Talduwe Ratugama Rallage Weris Singho, aka Talduwe Somarama assassinating S. W. R. D. Bandaranaike the then Sinhala.Buddhist prime minister of this island.
Never mind the Islamic countries they are too busy killing their fellow Muslims. One problem, though you have nearly 2 million of your people slaving in the Middle East Medieval countries. How are you going to rescue them from their slavery. Send in the gallant army which claimed to have rescued 300,000 from LTTE.
Actually, as you said you are scared that you don’t have Gota to save your bump. In the next elections try hard and bring him in.
Somas, NAK, Sinhala Panda, Sarojini, max moron, KASmaalam, …… the rest of the Sinhala/Buddhists, you don’t need others to destroy Buddhism as we know it. Here is the man who would do it for you with a little support from Gota.

Racist Thug and his speech clearly explains that he will never let SL and the Srilankans to live peacefully.
That’s his robed Narrow minded vision.
Let’s pray and hope as Srilankan Buddhists , Hindus, Muslims and Christians that this thug and his followers not let lose to destroy our country.
Shame on this man in Robes , The Maha Sangha has no control over him and his group to stop spreading HATE.
Controlling Religious intolerance is the responsibility of the Government not by any Racists group.
It’s a free country man is it not???
If a woman wants to marry a Muslim it’s her choice , changing her name to Fathima too her choice .
Catholic Religion too has restrictions .
Who the hell are you to control ones wishes.
Would he encourage Honour killing in the name of Lord Buddha??
Wake up Modayas. To my knowledge no one ‘s breaking law . Are we living in SrilanKAfganistan??

Mano / September 21, 2016
Here we go again. The big Buddhist terrorist in saffron robes spewing racist comments, and spreading the hatred of Muslims from a foreign country. Every word this man says is racist, and no doubt picking on the minority once again. He is an idiot if he thinks the Muslims can take over this country, obviously he does not know his maths. It is time the government did something to stop the hatred from this racist in saffron robes, who obviously only wants to go against the teaching of his religion, and shows a desire to become violent and cause many deaths. He is dangerous to let loose in this country, because the peace we have finally experienced after years of blood and violence, will be lost, if this scumbag had his way. He is not only ignorant, but he is also brainwashing the naive into thinking that Muslims are harmful to Sri Lanka.
Why is the new regime quiet and doing nothing about this rabble rouser? They are no different to the Rajapaksas, who were strangely quiet when the minority were attacked, and it led to many deaths, arson, and
attacks on minority businesses. Surely we do not want war and strife in our country again?
This scoundrel should be disrobed and thrown into jail.

Ronnie / September 21, 2016
Now the cat is out of the bag.This man wants a little support from government to finish the Muslims off.Then he will attack Christians.He has already destroyed some churches.That is a fact.Thank heavens the little support he had from the Mahinda-Gota combine the present government has refused to provide.
The monk himself knows that what he is preaching is illegal as seen from his frightened reaction when some one suddenly enters to his left.He states that he likes to be Prabhakaran. This needs to be taken as a warning as Prabhakaran finally destroyed his creator the TULF.
By the way the monk seems not to realize that the table has no cover in front so he is clearly seen constantly touching his private parts from time to time.What does this act suggest?Finally hats off to the videographer who has obviously filmed it secretly and to the Colombo Telegraph for running the story.As long as this quality of journalism exists there is hope for our country.

I think Gnanarasa must have a good understanding of Izeth Hussein’s motives. Pirabharan asked Muslims to leave jaffna but there was no violence but Gnanarasa (Gotapaya’s Field Marshal) will not ask to leave but put all of them under the soil.

It is shocking and disappointing that a so called peaceful and Zen religion like Buddhism is tolerating this racist ignorant person called
Gnanasara. I was not under the impression that Lord Buddha instructed his followers especially the Buddhist Monks to spew hatred and murderous actions.
If this imbecile goes unchecked, this could lead to Buddhist Terrorists around the world.
Gnanasara – YOU ARE A DISGRACE, YOU ARE A VILE AND IGNORANT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE PEACEFUL RELIGION OF BUDDHISM.
/

Gnanasara is the epitome of the mad and the crude Sinhala chauvinists.
Against all what Buddha preached the ‘Sinhale’ keep moving more and more backward into the realms of the cave man. How anyone with any iota of a brain can stand alongside this cave man or even listen to his barbaric achievements is no mystery – they are all self proclaimed Sinhala Buddhists.
He keeps prattling about Muslim ascendancy in Sri Lanka. Crude imaginations run riot in bigoted minds.
What a disgrace for Sri Lanka. How can we even imagine ‘Transitional Justice’ being delivered in Sri Lanka, when the barbarians still call the shots.

BBS is correct in saying that muslims in SL are multiplying like pigs. THeir reproduction rate is very high if we are not careful they will become the majority race in SL. They have done that all over. In London they have out numbered the locals in many burroughs. GAG has very rightly pointed that when muslim marry one of our girl the girl’s name is changed she loses her identity why should we allow this. The muslims are disproportionally high in government service. There are more muslim ministers ,in relation to the population, whatever the party is in government. why is that?? They are a cunning lot.

A late discovery it is.
As for myself I don’t have any sisters. My Sinhala Buddhist mother and Tamil Catholic father met, married and here we are. They maintained their religions, went to each others places of worships, celebrated each others festivals etc. Our family was multicultural, before multiculturalism was a fad.
If I had sisters, she in love, intervening her life will be cruel.
In my extended family, what you asked have happened. The world moves on.
So, answer to the same question, you asked me. Will you ? If yes, why ? if not, why not ?

“With A Little Political Backing We Can End The Rise Of Muslims”:-
Does Gandassara not realise that ‘The Rise Of Muslims’ started with the ‘Sinhala Only and Tamil also Policy’ of the SLFP?
Tamils and Sinhalese had Tamil and Sinhala as their Media of Instruction, while the Muslims had access to the Rest of the World, with English as their Medium of Instruction!
It would be better if BBS followed the Buddha’s teaching of Ahimsa, and encouraged the Learning of English, so that their Massive Inferiority Complex would be Eliminated!

The government should at least at this late hour realize they need to put these people in rehabilitation centres where they be given a complete reorientation to their thinking. The dangers of having them roaming loose in the name of democracy cannot and must not be discounted.
Given the right ‘timing’ all these evil forces can get together and form a human Tsunami. from which the government will be swept away.
THis is plain racism, and the government must begin to acknowledge there is a very large percentage of racists amongst us and initiate appropriate action.

Galagodaatte Gnanasara clearly has the intention to start a buddist terrorist outfit. He is the biggest threat the country faces since prabakaran. He clearly seems to take after prabakaran in every aspect. This is not the the first time gnane has made statements that covertly admire and justify the actions of the late LTTE leader. If the government is not going to put an end to him a true patriot should, before he blossoms into a full blown terrorist.

Sumaney, an interesting point you raised.
If you notice, Weerawansa ( about the buried LTTE fighters in Army Camps ) Now Gnanasara tacitly accepting Prapbhakaran’s leadership and playing good to Tamil people are kind of softening the public discourse of what is to come.
Gnanasara’s view on the Muslim community is also what the Tamil community is experiencing in the East. There too, the remaining Tamil Widows are dependent on the whims and fancies of the Muslim traders and most having abandoned their efforts to be home based farmers have ended up as servants to the Muslim traders. The Tamils in the East are paying dearly, they may find a friend in Gnanasara.
Gnanasara with his musings will keep the Muslim voters away from the Sinhala Nationalist Politicians.
Weerawansa will have to say all this to avoid his unloading his ill gotten wealth and avoid going to jail.
What Rajapaksa did thru the rough and tumble, the Yahpalanaya chaps are doing it in style; it must be the sophisticated Royal College upbringing. Just saying.
Yes, you are onto something.
