If one look at the recent carnage committed by a set of Islam Religious fanatics, not uneducated, but certainly quite educated, from the well to do in society and not the poverty stricken uneducated. This lot is commonly known, as the influence of the Wahhabi\u2019s and are more radical than the other normal Muslims. They have taken a foothold in this country under the Mahinda Rajapaksa regime where vast tracts of land at Wilpattu has been allocated for settlement and the Biggest University in Asia is under construction in the East in Batticaloa of the country, again commenced during MR\u2019s regime, obviously to cater for the Muslim Community to churn out more Muslim qualified and convince the moderate Muslims, to Wahhabism as a whole in the future possibly leading to the fear expressed by the Buddhists whether this country would become an Islamic country, like some of the other Islamic countries that were Buddhist countries in the past. These projects are fully funded by the Oil rich States in the Middle East. However their programme has been hampered by the change of MR Govt being replaced by the Yahapalanaya Govt in 2015.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The recent attack on the Churches although alleged to be in retaliation for Christian aggression in Christchurch, the attack on the Tourist Hotels cannot be accepted as for the same reason, because it is far more sinister and many who died in the Hotels are not Christians. It is no secret that although the Muslim Community underwent severe harassment under the Rajapaksa rule, there are many Muslims who are Wahhabis, who are yet in support of the Rajapaksas to return to govern the country once again.<\/p>\n<p>The rapid growth of the Wahhabi population for the last fifteen years was seen clearly, by the increased number of Burqa clad women freely walking about the country. Therefore for the Wahabbis to achieve their objective, the Wahhabis are keener than anyone else to have the Rajapaksas back on the saddle.<\/p>\n<p>However, with the impending disaster of Gotabaya Rajapaksa being unable to contest the Precedency at the forth coming Presidential Election, what other better way to project him to take over the country to govern, forcing the Yahapalanaya and Ranil Wickremesinghe out at this juncture through a campaign of Civil Disobedience. Is this not what every MR supporter chants today asking the Yahapalanaya and Ranil Wickremesinghe to get out? We have seen some maneuvering in this regard in October last year and the current Easter Sunday fiasco cannot be ruled out as a nonevent either. After all, did not the MR regime, not sell a war Victory to consolidate him as the sole war victor who saved this country from a thirty year old war?<\/p>\n<p>Think how the LTTE that caused so much damage to country, with thousands of Forces and thousands of civilian deaths over a period of 30 years successfully, was found huddled together on a Beachfront in the end, after burying all their arms and abandoning their stronghold Kilinochchi, to be sitting ducks for our Forces to decimate? On the one hand the MR supporters celebrated this day on the 19<sup>th<\/sup> of May 2009 eating Milk Rice, while on the other hand they deny that none of anything untoward happened to be accused of War Crimes and Human Rights Violations by the American led UN to parade us in Geneva year after year, threatening to slap us with a Resolution leading to sanctions. While the Americans are busy holding the Damocles\u2019 sword over us, they have been generous to have protected the very individual blamed for the blunder, at the UN Head Office in New York. Further the Americans, although castigated our Forces for committing War Crimes and Human Rights Violations, they have been generous enough to have engaged our Forces in the UN Peace keeping, to enable them to earn some dollars. Oh! How generous are these Americans? I wonder what the American Santa is to bring us this Christmas or even before, for the election of a new President. God save this country from the Gullible. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":330,"featured_media":200720,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,46,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-200937","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-colombotelegraph","category-constitutional-reforms","category-editorial"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
