Postwar Sri Lanka saw Buddhist extremism targeting the Muslim community with the euphoria of the victory over the Liberation Tigers of Thamil Eelam (LTTE). The Mahinda Rajapaksa government allowed these extremists a free reign and cause extensive damage to the Muslim economy, which resulted in the Muslims voting en-block to overthrow the once indispensable Rajapaksa regime.
The regime change brought about a lull in Buddhist extremist activity but restarted with the Mussali Muslim issue claiming that the returning Muslim IDPs from the 1990 eviction by the LTTE were being settled within the Wilpattu reserve. Even President Maithripala Sirisena made public statements claiming that the former Minister Basil Rajapaksa who headed the Presidential Task Force for Northern Development had allocated Wilpattu land. Later he retracted and said not a single inch of Wilpattu reserve has been encroached. The extremist continued their racist campaign to deprive the Muslim IDPs of their right to return.
This led to a build up of the racist campaign of the Bodu Bala Sena (BBS). Sinhala Ravaya and Ravana Balaya. Soon, they were joined by few more facebook warriors of Mahason Balaya, The Sinhale Jathika Balamuluwa (SJB) and Dan Priyasath’s who have used the freedom new media technologies offer, as a destructive force to create hate and cause violence. Most of these groups found this as a lucrative business to hoodwink Buddhist corporates and Sinhala Diaspora in South Korea, Australia, Europe and America to fund the saviours of Buddhism in Sri Lanka. It is tragic that anyone with a smart phone has become the saviour of their community.
In the absence of stern action by the Government or the Buddhist hierarchy of Mahanayake’s, Ven. Galagoda Atte Gnanasara and company went on a major racist offensive against the minorities. Did Yahapalanaya consider these racist assaults as freedom of expression or did the Sirisena-Wickremesinghe government of good governance provide subtle support to these extremists in the hope that they could break the dominance of the Sinhala Buddhist vote bank by the Rajapaksa’s joint opposition. Evidence proves to be the latter as no action has been taken despite numerous police complaints and legal action instituted by Muslims.
End of the Sinhala and Tamil New year celebrations saw the renewed assault on the Muslim community by extremist Buddhist forces. Since the dawn of April 16th, at least twenty incidents of violence or attempted violence, hate, intimidation and threats to the Muslims, their places of religious worship and business. These renewed threats are from Bodu Bala Sena, Sinhala Ravaya, Sinhale, Mahason Balaya to name a few.
The Secretariat for Muslims (SFM) a Muslim civil society organisation documented 538 incidents against the Muslims from 2013 to 2015.
The following is a documentation of the violence against Muslims during the last 5 weeks:
1 16th April, 2017 – Petrol Bombs thrown at shops in Godapitiya
Four shops owned by Muslims were attacked with petrol Bombs in Godapitiya, Porruva,. This incident went unreported due to the pressure brought in by the local police. This was not even reported in the social media by local residents, fearing further police intimidation. Even after a month, the police have still not been able to investigate and apprehend the perpetrators of this act of violence.
20th April, 2017 – Land Grab at Irrakamam in Mayakkali
2 1/2 Acres of Muslim land was forcible taken over in Irrakamam in Mayakkali. No police action has been taken even after complaints have been lodged.
25th April 2017 – Incitement by Ven. Gnanasara Thero in Irrakamam.
Ven. Gnanasara thero visited Irrakamam and made a very provocative speech violating his bail conditions. Police complaints have been made and no action has been taken up to todate.
8th May 2017 – Myanmar Boat People
Ven. Gnanasara Thero claimed at a press conference that refugees from Myanmar had arrived in Sri Lanka with the intention of invading our land. These refugees were arrested at sea by the Sri Lankan navy while they were attempting to flee to Australia by boat due to the astrocytes of the racist Myanmar government. This statement was purely meant to provoke the Sinhala Buddhists.
10th May 2017 – Vesak celebrations
Vesak celeberations with Bodhi pujas were undertaken in Irrakamam in Mayakkali which is a predominantly Muslim area to provoke them, but the Muslims showed much restraint and no untoward incidents were reported.
May 14th 2017 – Theratening Muslims in Onegama in Pollonaruwa
A group of Buddhist monks led by Ven. Galagoda Aththe Gnanasara Thero threatened Muslims in Onegama in Pollonaruwa and broke their huts and livelihood means. The Police who were present did not attempt to stop this mob from causing this violence. Hiru TV showed the destruction of the huts of the Muslims. Here again, Ven. Gnanasara Thero insulted Allah subahanauwa ta’aala in the most demeaning words by talking about Allah’s balls. His exact words were, ” They have placed Allah’s Balls here. They say there is no physical being called Allah and yet, they have kept his balls here”. Defaming of Allah subahanauwa ta’aala, is the most blasphemous insult that no Muslim will tolerate. Police complaints have been made with video evidence and the they have failed to take any action yet.
15th May 2017 – Attack on the Muslim Village of Selvanagar in the Trincomalee District.
The entire Muslim population of Selva Nagar in Thoppur (Tricomalee District, bordering Seruvila and Muthur electorate) has been threatened by a mob from outside led by Buddhist monks. A large number of Muslims have fled the area due to this intimidation. The local temple (Pansala) currently owns six acres and they are now attempting to claim 49 acres of Muslim lands insisting that these are archeological sites. Muslims have been living and in possession of these lands for over a hundred years. Residents claim that these extremists are trying to drive them out as the LTTE did during the ethnic conflict.
15th May.2017 – A fire had broken in Panadura Mosque .
It is suspected that extremist elements may have attempted to set the mosque on fire using a petrol bomb. This is the second petrol bomb attack. They had also set alight a garbage dump close by. No police action has been initiated.
15th May 2017 – Masked men attack Kohilawatta Ibrahim Jumma Mosque –
Unidentified men had arrived on motorbikes and attempted to attack the mosque. When some workers who were doing some renovations came out, they had left on their bikes..
16th May 2017 – Insults Allah:
Once again, Ven. Gnanasara Thero insults Allah subahanauwa ta’aala in the most demeaning way at a press conference.
16th May 2017 – Attack on Muslim Selva Nagar in Thoppur
A large group of Buddhist extremists numbering about 200 had gone to Selva Nagar in Thoppur with clubs and swords and caused extensive damage to 16 houses and property. No police action has been taken despite several complaints.
16th May 2017 – Gang Attacks Kohilawatte Mosque
The Kohilawatte Mosque, in Sedawatte, was attacked with stones and clubs, around 1:30 p.m. by an unidentified gang, resulting in extensive damage, Wellampitiya Police has been provided CCTV footage of the attack and no arrests have been made as yet.
May 17 2017 – Two Shops In Panadura Attacked
Two Muslim owned shops were attacked in Panadura and extensive damage caused to its furniture, equipment and fittings. One was a bakery and the other was a communications facility.
May 18th 2017 – Last Chance Electrical showroom burnt
The Last Chance show room in Wennappuwa has been set on fire and burnt down completely on the night of 17th May. The losses are estimated at several millions.
21st May 2017 – Mallawapitiya mosque in Kurunegala Attacked
A procession led by Ven. Gnanasra, which was going to Ibbagamuwa, was stopped by police. There after, Ven. Gnanasara and other Buddhist extremists claimed that they were being stopped at the call of the Muslims and abused in raw filth. They called on the crowd that had gathered to attack the Muslims. Six petrol bombs had been hurled at the Mallawapitiya mosque causing damage. Police have not arrested anyone yet.
21st May 2017 – A Cosmetic Shop in Elpitiya burnt.
A cosmetic store owned by a Muslim has been set on fire causing extensive damage and millions in losses. Police have still failed to make a comprehensive investigation.
22nd May 2017 – A leather Store in Wijerama Junction, Maharagama set on fire.
A leather store belonging to a Muslim at Wijerama Junction, Maharagama has been set on fire during the night and completely burnt. Losses are estimated to run in to millions.
22nd May 2017 – A shop been set on fire in Kahawatta.
It is very clear that Ven. Gnanasara is attempting to disrupt his arrest over the Homagama magistrates complaint of contempt of court and intimidation of witnesses. He is attempting to generate protests from the majority Buddhist claiming that he is being arrested on the charges filed by the Muslim community. He has continued to violate his bail conditions, and is aware that he has very little chances of being outside the remand prison. Majority of the Sinhalese who does not subscribe to Ven. Gnanasaras extremism will not move a finger if this racist is arrested. It should be noted that he commanded a mere 27,000 Island wide votes at the last general elections.
The Government of President Sirisena and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe need to deal with this major crisis which will destabilize their hard earned victory in January 2015. The Muslim parliamentarians, civil society, business community and academia have requested the government to act with a strong resolve to ensure that rule of law prevails. A peaceful environment will ensure the rapid reconciliation of all peoples of Sri Lanka

But this is a no easy as you think Mr Writer.
Current govt is in between since masses would still support to former thuggish adminstration though they are no in power today. In the same time, former men have manipulated so called buddhists that have been the extremist forces in this country. Tihs should NOT be negligible.

Hilmy Ahmed,
Wrong!
Sri Lanka is currently embattled by several cancers.
Seriously inflamed Islamophobia is only one of them.
Flames of Islamophobia is being fanned by disgusting, defeated king and the JO. In a desperate attempt to regain lost power. They are pulling strings of religious and racist hatred. Fake SAITM protest by GMOA is another.
Tamil racist elements here and abroad are looking for any opportunity to rock the boat.
Islam based, corrupt & power-hungry politicians are colluding with Wahabis & other Islamic fundamentalists. Radicalized pockets of Islam in SL is now a fact.
Yahapalanaya is is dying a slow death. Increasingly insecure about their ability to stay in power. Latest Cabinet reshuffle is a total joke.
Forget about promises given during the January 8th revolution. Those are all forgotten now by both RW and Aiyo. Besides, Sobitha Thero is not among us any longer to keep up the pressure.
Cheers!
PS: Hilmy Ahmed, Were you at the demo against Wilpattu destruction? Are you battling to change Muslim Marraige act in SL? Do you only wake up when Islam or Muslims are at stake? What have you done so far to contain increasing Islamic fanaticism in SL?

Are women less worthy or 2nd class citizens? 3. Should one be killed if he draws a picture of Mohammed? 4. Should stoning be the punishment for adultry? 5.

Ben Hurling. You are writing the most stupid way here. It is accepted world’s view number one violent and killers are Christian countries, this is accepted even by majority of western intellectuals. From the time of Crusade to present day they are killing. What they are doing in Irag, Syria, Afghanistan and what they did in Libya, Somalia? The rebels are called terrorist. This is not including the slaughter of Vietnamese, Cambodian, Koreans, Japanese, American Indians and aborigines of Australia. How many Muslims are killed in Sri Lanka for changing religion? It was Islam that respected women and gave the rights to women. How come so many Muslim women graduates, holding good positions and even a prime minister now and before if they were considered 2nd class citizen? Drawing a picture of Jesus, Buddha is okay, pictures and idols of them available. Why draw a picture of Muhammad when Muslim themselves do not do that? Isn’t it racially motivated? It was banned during the inception because he was not god and they didn’t want rogues to make pictures of him and sell as god. Yes, stoning, beheading or similar punishments should be there to get rid of murderers, rapist and the like from the society. Adultery definitely ruin the family and dilute the respect and honesty of society. If you are from a city of Sodom and Gomorrah it is okay for you. Don’t fall prey to western propaganda.

These are all actions performed by the wahhabi cult pedalled by the saudis. It has very little basis in Islam. One classic example is stoning for adultery. The Holy Qur’an does not prescribe stoning – the old testament did. However, the head chopping wahhabis have borrowed it and introduced it into Islam. They are a bunch of psychopaths. They hail from Najd and our Prophet (Sal) referred to them as the horn of satan.

There are more rabid dogs among the Muslims than among any other religious group. The anger of Buddhists in Srilanka is only against Srilanka Moors and not against peace loving Muslims like Malays, Bohras and Ahamediyas. Stop blaming anyone of insulting Allah, when Muslims are insulting other religions. In Srilanka the greatest person is Buddha the prince of peace and not Allah the hate monger, and when you say Allahu Akbar, you are insulting Buddhists. Instead if you behave realistically and say Buddhahu Akbar there will be no problem. What Buddhists are doing is counter insult on Allah. The damage done to mosques in Srilanka is nothing compared to the damage done by Islamic extremists in other parts of the world. Let us all pray “Lahilaha il Buddha, Buddhahu sahib ullah”

Al-fuckura. There are jealous mongrels among you all than the Muslims. Malay, Borahs, Ahmediyas are around 1% of total Muslim population and majority doesn’t know such minority exist except for Malays. When Moors arrived in Sri Lanka around 800 years ago, Sinhalese mostly farmers. On the coastal lines Cochias were ruling, exchanging their cheap products from India for Sinhalese farm product for dirt cheap. Moors changed that resulting Sinhala king’s respect. These cochias had more than one low caste and rodiya wives. Some rich guys had harem. There are about 20% Sinhalese who are not real Sinhalese but Demala-Cochi products. The hate and jealous they had those days toward Moors still continuing. The racist Sinhalese including many Buddhist monks like Gnanasara belongs to these Dela-cochi groups. Look at Gnanasara and his supporters face. 100% Demala-Cochi features. They knows that, that is why they are more angry. How do you look you mongrel? Can you paste your face here? I will tell you which group you belongs to. He he he he …………..

You Islamic racist, how dare you say that Sinhalese were only farmers. They had a glorious civilization starting from iron age. Iron implements have been found in Balangoda and your rogues have built a mosque in this area. Very soon Kuragala mosque will be brought down. Gnanasara has asked you to go and suck Allah’s labba. He may be a Demala-Cochi hybrid, but he is superior than the Arab infidels. At least he is of a high caste but you are a low caste Arab fellow. He will make all your infidels to suck Allah’s labba. Did you stupid fellow hear about IS fighters importing 20,000 goats from New Zealand for their sexual pleasures. If you want to know about me, I look much better than your good for nothing Allah.

Al-fuckura. You nincompoop, they say those implements are over 35,000 years old but you Vijaya arrived in Kallathonis around 2000 years ago. You may be a rotten Christian or Tamil hiding with a pseudo name so your expectation of filthy comments from me won’t come. Gnanasara cannot suck Allah’s labba because Allah doesn’t belong to material world like that of idols or dead people. So Allah don’t have a labba. It is the experience of sucking by Gnanasara and his ilk that come out from his mouth. Farmers are considered as high caste so you, Gnanasara don’t belongs to that caste.

You Balli Gammon, a rotten Islamic Infidel. Stop attacking Gnanassara. He is Rasul-ul-Buddha, the messenger of Buddha the one and only supreme being in this universe. Propagate this golden sayings by Gnanassara among your people. “Allah kiyala Ballekwath ne, Balla kiyala Allekwath ne”. What a superb expression of truth. Sucking labba of goats and camels is a favourite pastime of your Arab ancestors. That is why Gnassara had asked you to do it. Why are you worshipping stony Labba inside black Kabba in Mecca.

Gery mas kanno wasalayoya, those who consume beef are untouchables. as such our kings never allowed muslims traders to our ports. they collected trading items from here via kochcias traders of koshine port keralists.descendants still live here with negombo tamil identities and portuguese burger identities. pulle and european surnames. nothing to do with sinhalese. cristian yonas came here. even built christian churches. birds flew over the island with messages reported seen christian churches but never reported seen mohammedan worshiping places. upto fifteen century AD situation was like that.
moors refers to north african arabs. they never visited here until land routes was open with muslims occupation in india. first visitor was IBN Bthutha moroccan pilgrim came with kochchi traders. when delhi sultanate power collapsed in south indian territories muslims from south india came here our kings accepted them on humanitarian ground if moors visited here south african point suba parthana thuduwa or goodill point must have been named by arabic not in european languages.silk land route existed via north of indian subcontinent but had nothing to do with south asian regions like south india and lanka. as such your moor claim is cowshit or primitive arabic garbage.

Ralli Ameen / May 24, 2017
Ranjit. You cannot change history just by heresy or made up stories.To do that you have to go to archives in Britain, Portuguese and even our own and change everything that is recorded in old history. Before the colonial masters Muslims were the traders in Sri Lanka, India etc. They served even in King’s forces, as physicians to them etc. Kings did not rely on Kattadias. Moors replaced cochias who cheated the Sinhalese. Now 20% these cochi-demala Sinhalese were spread everywhere in coastal towns, not Negombo alone. At that time since there were no mat weavers and other handicraft makers, Moors traders brought from a South Indian Village some handicraft making families, settled them somewhere in Beruwala or Aluthgama. Their handicrafts are famous now and their caste name is similar to that South Indian village. Muslim traveled to China through land route, sold their goods and bought mainly silk from them to be sold in Middle-east and Europe so the silk route. India did not have sailing boats to travel other countries but boats with which they can cross small distances like Palk Straight. It was Moors who sailed to and fro from Cochin. Zheng He, an Arab-Mongol Muslim was the pioneer in ship making and sailing in China. We don’t claim cowshit like you but the truth.

christian arabs are traders not muslim arabs that is the truth.no mosques existed here till sixteenth century. I have visited lisbon archive twice refer all the history records on lanka in portuguese time. muslim arabs were not allowed by our kings. they operated from karala via kochchi traders. moors never come as traders here. they did not have that facilities to go around africa.only the yanas or yemanist from arabic peninsula visited here as traders. you all are south indian kallathonis came here with the help of karalists kochchi traders. one powerful minister from that community fernandopulle killed by LTTE. still we have cricketers cum commentators from that community. all are either catholic or christians. nothing to do with sinhalese. strange muslims existed without a mosque. where did you hold on to its labba or payiya.till mosque is built. get lost man. moors are negroid not caucasoid. you muslims here are mongoloid or caucasoid it seems like south indians. you have nothing to do with sinhalese you kallathonis if not show us your panchaudaya. do you know how to make kaum or athirasa. or even valithalapa or kurakkan pittu. do you know how to eat kurakkan thalapa. get lost kallathoni marakkalaya

There were no Christian Arab traders before colonization started idiot. So you went to Lisbon archives, on what a donkey? My god you must be an expert on Portuguese language to read all old books in the archives. Just mention in which section of the archive these books available and just one or two volume numbers and authors names? Masjidul Abrar mosque, Ketchchimalai mosque, Beruwala, Grand mosque, Colombo etc. are very old mosque built during Sinhalese King’s rule. Grand mosque was renovated 1826 during British time and now expanded with new structure. It is your practice to hold labba, payiya during praying hence your are mentioning it. North Africans are known as Moors, not Negroid and Sri Lankan mainly Tamils are known as Australoid. Fernando (Portuguese) pulle (Tamil) a low caste Christian not original Keralites. Kawun, Kokkis Portuguese origin. We know our own stuff. Kurakkan thalapa are low grade food, we despise them because it doe not belongs marakkalays’s high class food like buriyani etc. Do you know Yemanis are Moors? However much you cry you cannot change history.

traders have advantage with language but you still speak Tamils as your ancestors mother tongue was Tamil. so do kochchias. still both community speak Tamils few may speak English. but sinhalese in coastal line speak sinhalese very closer to elu. why their ancestors mother tongue was sinhalese if they were kochcias they could have continued with Tamils. like real kochchias and you Muslims do. converting to sinhalese was not added advantage. do you know proto sinhalese names for small fish and lice. diya macca and ukuna. still vedda community use these words. so do people live in coastal line. as such they are not converted kochcias. they are original sinhalese. weaving is the ancient art of yakka sinhalese. crafting masks was art of yakka or proto sinhalese art. nobody brought those here. Chinese traders introduced some weaving arts. Chinese were the pioneers of those arts. we had very good relationship with Chinese even in 500 year BCE .as such your saying is bullshit. Muslims Arab traders never allowed here, untouchables or wasalayos. if kings wanted medicine Chinese and Indians were at their disposal. wasalayan or beef eaters was not a necessity.
kattadiya came with nayakar kings to kandian kingdom. but adura or yakadura was in existence since 3000 or5000 BCE. that shows your knowledge on history of lanka. get lost man.

Ranjith. There is no records at all of Chinese traders visiting Sri Lanka, even in early period of AD. I said about 20% Sinhalese are from Cochi-Demala mix. May be you belong to this group so you cannot gulp it. Veddas history irrelevant here, I am telling about Cochias doing pola trading before Moors arrived. Moors did not do weaving, they were traders so they brought families who knows cottage industry from Kerala and settled them here to make money from the products they turn out like an industry. Poruguese, British were beef eaters, how did your Sinhalese kings tolerated them? If you don’t know Moors were here since 800 AD, then you had never set your foot in to any of the Archives or never read history books including Sinhalese authors. During the Portuguese time they were looking for local physicians to promote local medicine and seven physician they selected for the post were six Moors and one Chetty. If natives had good Ayurveda physicians they would have selected them, but non, only indigenous Kattadiyas. If you want to see masks, cottage industrial products 100% similar to Sri Lankan products (olden) go to Tiruvanduram. You can see everything there including Appa, Pittu, String hopper, Perahera and even Cashew girls like the Battaliya one on the way. Some glory mania had brain washed you.

lanka was the trading center for Chinese products. in the sea route. Chinese came here with ships load of goods and sold to traders from Europe and middle east. they stayed here till their stock is finished. during period of stay they collected gems. Chinese were the main buyer of our gems. marco polo records vouched for it. south Indian traders handled domestic trading. no other foreign parties involved. otherwise we must have Greek pockets Chinese pockets and roman pockets here. they came did business and went back. Muslims traders never came here. they were catered by south Indians but christian Arabs did direct business with others and our kings. you can find lots of evidences for that. local export directly handled by king’s officers nobody allowed to involved as all the treasure were treated as king’s properties. even the crops. after arrival of Muslims refugees from south India. they ere granted permission to do domestic business to earn livelihood as they did know any sastras to earn for their living even cultivation. no mosques existed here till fifteen century AD. Muslims lot considered as dalets or untouchable .as they were greedy of beef. that was the situation. but christian churches allowed kokila seen few of them. but nothing on Muslims religious places. if you had mosques in Colombo and beruwala kokila must see them but no records reported. do not write lies man. every sinhalese read those poem books and know the history.

every country has its indigenous medicine systems.likewise sinhalese had one. it was good enough to keep nation healthier.as such we did not want any outside help. even kings did not want. if somebody says kaum is a portuguese one he or she can not be lanken born one should be outsider.
moors refer to north africans. everybody knows they are negroid. all arabs are not treated as moors.those w ho descent from sahariens called moors. as such you can not claim morr identity.
even african make masks but every nation’s mask making have their own uniqueness.
cashew is not unique to lanka as such you should find cashew in india africa south america as well. selling of them too is not unique to lanka. as such your defamation has no value. nobody claim it is unique to lanka. but in business since old ages.

Ralli Ameen / May 27, 2017
If Sinhalese did not want outsider’s medicine why 100% of medicine and medical practice is western origin? Why don’t you replace it with Kasaya, guli and weda mahathayas? Good news, if Moors are negroid there are good openings in African countries. Can you get your president’s help for us to go there? I said kawum, kokkis. Kawum (Kaum) may be Sinhalese but kokis is Dutch-Portuguese origin. Paan (bread) from pao, Dosi is from doce, sukiri from suiker, seeni is from Cheeni (Chinese) etc. etc. Aappa, pittu, string hopper are from Kerala. Cashew may be same everywhere but that is not the point. I pointed out the similarity in culture. You take the bus from Tirunelvelli to Tiruvanduram going on the main highway. Just before 50 km to Tiruvenduram the bus stop for tea and little away these girl sell cashew. Dressed in reddai – atta just like Bataliya girls but put a towel across their shoulder. Do you see this in Africa and S. America? Likewise the mask too look exactly like Sri Lankan, they have perahera like yours. You go to fishing area, their woman folk wear reddai – atta like in Sri Lanka. This is not defamation but showing you the cultural similaraties. You go see for yourself and write.

yes portuguese butch and british beefeaters our kings fought battle with them but unfortunately lost. to say moors did not visit here you do not have to go to archives. they are saharienne did not have facilities to sail around africa..christian arabs came as traders. they were called yonas or yonakes. they never called them as moors. moors are negroid. moroccans, libyans, tunisians like that they are negroids. arabs from yeman and other part of middle east visited. they were christians. your faith started in th century AD among camel riders not sailors or traders.cristian asirians atabs were here even in 66 AD for trading. not muslims.

Ralli Ameen / May 27, 2017
Christian Arabs are a minority (2-3%) spread in western part of middle-east. There are no proof at all of them travelling anywhere those days. Negroid are black African. May be to eyes Moors look like Negroes and you see yourself in the mirror as white. You are a mentally sick person. Yemen is a small country in the middle-east to the extreme east. Good percentage of Yemeni wears sarong which was introduced by Moors here and eastern Muslim countries. If Muslim Arabs were camel riders, Christian Arabs too same and they are beef eaters. Christian Dutch, Portuguese, British are beef eaters and the first time Sri Lankan set eyes on them was during colonization. You all are embracing everything this beef eaters gave you. Even the computer you are using to send your messages is beef eaters invention. At the very first chance trying to get into beef eaters land. Get lost idiot.

I am asking you this as you seem to be pious Muslim and know much about Islam. for my information tell me how your god allah lowered your adams to earth from garden. as you as my physics I learnt 60 cubit means 90 feet and weight of such create must be more than 500 MT. if he came flying when goes through atmosphere temperature must have gone beyond 500 degrees. living creature can not survive at such temperature. when such a weight hit on earth impact created could have triggered earthquake more than 10 rector.that could create big hole on earth and trigger tsunami to wipe out entire islands in Indian ocean. how did your Allah avoid such situation. did he lower him slowly by using his payiya tool as crain.even if generation of high temperature can not be avoided. entire flora and fauna must have gone. can you explain more Mr. ralli Ameen.
/
Ralli Ameen / May 25, 2017
ranjith. What you have stated here shows you are a brainless fool or may be with a donkey brain. Who told you Allah lowered Adam on his garden to earth from space. Did you see a science fiction film recently and writing dreaming about it. Islam says Allah created the universe including the earth in it and on earth he created all the living things. First plants and animals and finally Adam (man) and from Adam’s rib Eve (woman) his partner. Even science says man (human beings) evolved last. I don’t want to waste my time giving explanation to your donkey question. If you want you can refer to books written by Scholars, Philosophers etc. But I don’t know you have a brain to understand them. Using payiya tool as crane is your peoples games.

idiot you do not know history and you do not know even your religion. first read your so called holy book and find out where your god created your first puppet called Adam and his wife. after their mischievous act sent to earth from your so called garden. as per your religious records this man called Adam was crafted with clay and given life. his appearances very similar to your so called god. that is what I learnt going through your religious records I am asking the way your god lowered him to earth .
first get fully converse with your religion before making comment on any science.
/
Ralli Ameen / May 26, 2017
First you went to Lisbon archives and now you went through our religious book. Which book? Name the book. Adam was the first man and there was no other man to craft him out of clay. In which planet there was clay, so god crafted him and lowered to earth. Ha yes. I have read in Hindu mythology of flying chariot on which god go to his abode in heaven and come back to earth. Most probably our god would have sought his help to lower Adam. What a third rate idiot you are, shame.

You have no idea how much the likes of Galagoda Aththe Gnanasara and his kind hate the Muslims. I when I say Muslims, specifically the Moors. Gnanasara even said directly to Minister Mano Ganesan’s face that he would prefer Prabhakaran over the Muslims. Hatred they are spitting is very very toxic. The reality is, there is an inherent distrust among even the ordinary Sinhala-Buddhists towards the Moors. For example, they say, “Are they going to impose Sharia-Law one day?”, “Are they going prohibit the propagation of Buddhism?”, “Are they going take Buddhist women as sex-slaves?”, and so on. DON’T KID YOURSELVES! THESE THINGS ARE ACTUALLY IN THE MINDS OF EVEN MODERATE SINHALA BUDDHISTS. And this is what the likes of Gnanasara are trying to exploit. If the government and other civil societies don’t tackle this soon, things could eventually get worse than what happen in July 83 to the Tamils.

You are the rabid dogs mate.
You can stand on your head and weep about the bad deal you are getting in this country. But the truth must be told for everyone’s benefit.
Without any hint of racism, as a fact, I am telling you that over the last 30 years the Muslims gained disproportionately in this country by hook and by crook. Their population greew, they gained most from the district basis in university education and they bought all the properties left by the migrating Tamils and Sinhalese.
There are stories of Wahabi money financing their purchases and businesses, drug importation from Pakistan and unlawful sterilisation of young Sinhala mothers.
Still we find Muslim complaints about ‘racism’ (they think they are a different RACE!) and the columns of CT are full of their bogus grievances.
Woe unto you.

There is undoubtedly an anti-Muslim development in Sri Lanka which is fuelled by extremist views and behaviours. Moderate and law-abiding citizens must condemn behaviour such as incitement to violence and deliberate provocation of the ire of a group. Law enforcement officers seem to have their orders to let those who rampage against a minority have their way while they blatantly break the law.
What these minorities must also do in the face of such provocation is to try and be as indistinguishable as possible from mainstream society, in the form of reducing the adoption of outlandish dress codes and practices and attempt to blend with the mainstream in all ways possible. While the atrocities committed by thugs should not go unpunished, community leaders should also use introspection and act wisely.

From another side, we can here, Sinhala boys, talking about protecting the monk. It looks Kurunegala police police had come because of muslims. I think, those police officrs had some connections with the muslims. Monk is just explang why. What you people are right here is all lies.

Don’t insult the Veddas. Vedda people are definitely NOT aryan. There is only one remaining native tribe in Sri Lanka. The Veddas or “Gothra” who are still fairly untouched in-terms of their bloodlines. Small number of Sinhalese who have “Yakka” blood and some Northern Tamils who have “Naga” blood are also native to SL. But number of Yakka and Naga are dwindling fast especially the Yakka. I’ve heard there maybe some semi-pure blooded Naga people still living in the Vanni area. There was another tribe called the “Deva” but most of them migrated to India. Their decedents maybe the “Thiyya” people who live in Malabar region, India (“Deva” -> “Deyva” -> “Thiyya”).

its pitty that the writer totally ignores the stories that is not in supportive of his opinions. You must remember there are two sides to every coin. Even if all this 500+ incidents are true as you say, still one might wonder why you actually have made no attempt at all why there is a huge resentment to the wahabi Islamist movements in the country. It is also sad that you have while portraying a moderate voice have chosen to ignore the rights issues and cultural and heritage issues in the east as run by the Islamic religious leadership.
in a side note, criticizing allah or mohammad or any other religious leader or practices is not a bad thing. Insulting allah or the teachings in Koran is not about the wisdom of humans. So no one system should have special rights in terms of criticizing religious believes.

”Residents claim that these extremists are trying to drive them out as the LTTE did during the ethnic conflict.” This is what racist Hilmy’s usual tactics to regain the lost love of thier Sinhala Chauvinists government’s after need for spying LTTE is extinguished. But when Aluthgama riots was going on, DIG Indran was the only Police officer worked for Muslim; shamefully not any Muslims Spy Officer! When Ayub Asmin went there, those Muslims folks asked from him that where Leader Pirapaharan was had gone. You remember what Hakeem did? He went there; collected the evidenceS of the crime scene the poor victims had saved; walked out with it and saved the culprits. He has not produced it in a court for action. Had Hilmi inquired anywhere if Mohamed Imran, who burned his 18 years wife, who in turn a 7months old’ mother, is arrested? I can list a lot here Hilmi did not ask a question for the injustices happened to Muslims society. But the question is, “is this only a part of their Oodal and Koodal of their filtering with the Muslim-Sinhala government or is this a sincere call for justice for all Muslims in that society to the hilt; it’s the women and Children inclusive?
After 1948, The MMDA, which robbed the living right of 50% of Muslims and their under aged dependents, brought into please male only Muslim leaders and writers.
When New King declined to ban Burqa I supported it as a person’s right to dress as the way one want. It does not mean that that my position was that a culture can be imported in a container of a cargo ship from Al Salman Abdulaziz and spread overnight skillfully under the charming, pious emergency regulations of MMDA.

A culture is preferences and selections of common patterns of their living style and behaviors, grows and flourishes in communities over a couples of centuries if not millenniums.
When Rozana was murdered in Saudi, the elite leaders and writers interpreted the poor parents’ poverty as their greed for that murder. They even acted a drama that Saudi was so sober in implementing that human Qurbani , so , it was willingly had paid compensation for the victim’s parent. It was that much obsession, entrenched in these elites for that medieval caliphate
That filthy infatuation of the these elite leadership toward Saudi is not really coming from any holiness emancipating out of that desert Kingdom, but the flow of the oil money that is wetting these crooks palms. These crooks pledge to build a Colony out of Lankawe for the brutal kingdom, resurrected from Medieval obsoletes, in return for the green paste rubbed on their palms. This greedy for green paste by the elite writers and leaders is pushing the back the country into the storm after it had rifted 30 years rudderless.
Hilmy, Latheef, Izeth, Hakeem, Rishard et al…. has responsibility, as much as Gnanam, to answer to Tamils, Muslim Sinhala communities’ exasperation of why the country is being pushed into hell again Why don’t they sacrifice this Colony building for the sake of the country to return normalcy.
Aren’t these guys went to UNHRC to tell that Muslims are Happy in the New Lankawe after making a deal with Old Royals to push Halal into private hands ? Then why couldn’t they slow down the Colony building for Salman bin Abdulaziz until for time out then that country can rest before the next round?

Hilmy Ahamed presents grievances of Lankan Muslims as if they are the only ones at the receiving end. He claims that Lankan Muslims changed the regime on 08 January 2015 and etc etc. One wonders! Except for the (unwise) expulsion of Jaffna Muslims he fails to compare Muslim misery over the last four years with others who knew nothing but misery for the last 68 years or so. Then the Wilpattu issue. Strangely Ameer Ali (CT of 18 May), Mass L Usuf (21 May) and Latheef Farook (22 May) toed the very same themes. Orchestrated? – How else? Here Hilmy extols the virtues of MidEast and the remittances by Lankans working there. Surely he knows that the workers are forced into slave labour – for example Qatar’s foreign labour living conditions. The unkindest cut is his half-hearted documentation of Lankan Navy arrest of “boat people” on 08 May. Hilmy does NOT mention that the victims were 30 Rohingyas fleeing Myanmar. Rohingyas profess ISLAM. Hilmy cares for Lankan Muslims only. Hilmy is (unwittingly) establishing that Lankan Muslims are very very very selfish!

Sirisena is now the Dr Jekyll Mr Hide..
Ranil has again lost the confidence of the masses the rabid monk Gnanasara has even called Ranil ponniya
and Gnanasara is not arrested for hate speeches.
Aiyo Sirisena you disappointed us never mind we have Anura kumara to turn to.

The Sinhalese and Tamils must unite to wipe out the Islamic terror from the face of Lanka. Islam has declared war on all religions, and Buddhism in particular is in their cross hairs. Muslims are arming themselves in the East of Lanka, and already these are no-go zones for others, with Muslims menacingly staring down non-Muslims while Muslim women are covered from head to toe in the most Talibanic dress imaginable. The vile hatred of anything that is non-Muslim is palpable. This is also the case in areas all over the island where Muslims predominate. Very soon this will cover the whole country.
Sinhalese and Tamils must use lethal power to destroy these barbarians, jail suspected militants and would be terrorists, build a national registry of terrorists and suspects, and monitor them around the clock. Within 10-20 years Lanka will be a Muslim majority nation, and by then it will be too late. India cannot watch and wait, and must support the party in Lanka that will stand up to radical Wahabi Islamic terror. Time is running out fast.

Rtd. Lt. Reginald Shamal Perera / May 23, 2017
A Muslim Rabid dog was unleashed in Manchester over the weekend. Gnanassara never killed anyone but one of Allah’s sodmized children, a Muslim Pig Killed 22 innocent young men and women.
These events happening around the world just proves what Gnanassara thero says all along. That Muslim Rabid dogs should be exterminated from the Island like wiping out cockroaches.
I am not a Buddhist by birth but I beleive in Buddhist principles. The Buddhists believe that a venomous creature inhabiting their village needs to be destroyed. They say “Visa Gora Sarapaya deka nera Modaya”. Same with Muslim Rabid dogs. And it should be quick and brutal. Some what like what happened during the 1989 period to JVP rabid dogs.

Weather Mahinda,Gota,Maithree & Ranil .
The truth has not been realised even by Muslims.
Whoever comes to power is full under the control of very filhly rich Fake Religious NGO’S lobby , either Maithree & Ranil allow the entire Muslim Community’S economy be wiped out except a few politicians and the families. Or they will replace Maithree & Ranil with The Rakapakshes and Mahinda will make Muslims pay with interest.
As long as there remains ,These NGOS ,Muslims will not be spared ,they want to reduce the population, either you convert or die ,or live as beggars.
Their Lobby in Asia is very powerful ,they have spies everywhere in every form ,well Paid , recruits from every religion ,shamelessly even from Muslim, some for money and some to safeguard their interests
In future,all Sinhalese ,from politicians ,to professionals ,businessesman,banks , to labourers ,tut tuts to bus drivers, conductors ,market vendors to Buddhist clergy will be under this Lobby’s control. Yes they are the true Zionist ,not Jews.
Until you realise this ,for now Muslims
