Muslim hardware shop was burnt down last night in Mawanella<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

It is reported that a hardware shop belonging a Muslim man was set on fire last night by unidentified people in Mawanella town. \u00a0Muslims in the area believe that this was done deliberately by some <\/span>anti- Muslim elements<\/a><\/span>. This follows series anti- Muslim attacks and anti- Muslims campaign started by <\/span>BBS<\/a><\/span> two years ago. These continuous attacks on Muslim properties and Muslim places of worship are aimed at destroying Muslim business and Muslims livelihood in Sri Lanka.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is a worrying trend. This government is deliberately ignoring this anti- Muslim campaign of BBS.\u00a0 It has not taken any action against it.\u00a0 It is generally believed that government is perpetrating all these attacks behind the scene. JVP leader recently said this openly and yet, our Muslim MPs knowing or unknowing do not take any actions.\u00a0 They do not have courage to crossover from this ruling party and sit\u00a0down with opposition as a protest.<\/span><\/p>\n
