The Muslim Council of Sri Lanka<\/span><\/a> has today called upon the President Maithripala Sirisena and the Government of Sri Lanka to conduct a thorough investigation, punish all who may have violated the laws of the land, and ensure that no more Sri Lankans are misled in to joining any terrorist movement.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"first<\/a>

first Sri Lankan killed in battle in Syria with IS -Known in the Islamic State as Abu Shuraih Sailani<\/p><\/div>\n

Writing to the President the Muslim Council of Sri Lanka said; “The Muslim Council of Sri Lanka, on behalf of the Muslim Community expresses its deep dismay at media reports of the first Sri Lankan killed in battle in Syria with IS. This group of extremists who call themselves the caliphate or Islamic State (Formerly known as ISIS) is a threat to Islam and the group violates both Sharia law and humanitarian law.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“Islam is a religion of mercy and tolerance that totally prohibits the taking of innocent lives. There is no theological basis for any crimes to be committed through terrorism or violence. The Muslims of Sri Lanka join Islamic scholars and Muslim leaders around the world to condemn without any reservation the ISIS and its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi for failing to respect key tenants of Islam. Their actions are un-Islamic and inhumane.<\/p>\n

\"ISIS<\/a>“While we wish to emphasize that these are actions of misguided individuals, we call upon Your Excellency and the Government of Sri Lanka to conduct a thorough investigation, punish all who may have violated the laws of the land, and ensure that no more Sri Lankans are misled in to joining any terrorist movement.<\/p>\n

“As civil society representatives of Muslims, we commit to help in any investigation and action that would be initiated by the government.”<\/p>\n

According to the media reports, a karate master from Galewela, known in the Islamic State as Abu Shuraih Sailani (not the real name)\u00a0who has been reportedly killed in Syria in an air strike last week is said to be the first Sri Lankan member of the ISIS.\u00a0Abhu Shuraih Sailani, 37, after completing his GCE O\/L, has pursued Islamic studies with great zeal mastering Hadith science and continued on contemporary Fiqh (The theory or philosophy of Islamic law, based on the teachings of the Koran and the traditions of the Prophet), completing his LLB in Shariah Law from the International Islamic University in Pakistan.<\/span><\/p>\n
