The call made by Thawheed Jamaat<\/span><\/a> – the Muslim organisation that Bodu Bala Sena<\/span><\/a> (BBS) has accused of spreading Islamic extremism in the country, for Muslim countries to ensure the protection of Sri Lankan Muslims has irked the security establishments in Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

\"Abdur<\/a>

Abdur Raziq of Sri Lanka Thawheed Jamaat<\/p><\/div>\n

Their calls are made just over a month since the anti-Muslim violence that erupted in Aluthgama<\/span><\/a> and Beruwala as well as several other parts of the country that left three Muslims and one Tamil dead, several more injured and resulting in wide-spread property damage.<\/p>\n

Local media reports indicate that the call has been very critically judged by those in the security establishments as a ‘direct call for foreign intervention’.<\/p>\n

In a comment to Al-Jazeera, Thawheed Jamaat representatives had stated they no longer wish to rely on the Sri Lankan government to ensure the security of the local Muslim community.<\/p>\n

Hardline Buddhist organisations in Sri Lanka have described the Thawheed Jamaat as a group that promotes Islamic fundamentalism<\/span><\/a> as well as promoting derogatory statements on Buddha and Buddhism.<\/p>\n

However, they have rejected such allegations and have assured they do not support any kind of terrorism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
