what do you mean by muslims should learn their place? what place are yu taling about when some idiotic fk comes and starts buring their livelihood
He is an islamaphobe
and my dear friend if not for pakistan your country would be run over by LTTE!!! if not for Pakistan you would be nothing but indian slave!
Sri Lanka always respected the support Pakistan rendered during her hour of need. There is a reason why we sent our cricket team to Pakistan ignoring securing considerations in 2009 and returned even after we were bombed.
I cant understand why you drag it here. What we have is a law and order problem and the current gover's extreme inefficiency in curbing the situation. Sri Lanka is a multi ethnic and multi religious country, it is not a theocracy. The government took action to control the situation and hundreds are jailed now.
pakistan is a country made for muslims in south asia with muslim laws and customs in mind, isn't it? so if someone wants to live under such conditions, he should consider moving to a country where his ideals and attitudes match more with the prevailing culture of the said country.
No Muslims in SL have asked for Shariah. What we see is a large islamophobic wave in Sri Lanka and it should be tackled.
Than your constitution gives them right to practice within the domain of their country.No? And if they are violating any rights as per you, than its the responsibility of state to act. No?
That is why the state acted and controlled the situation. More than hundred people are jailed. And large majority in SL condemn this violence. Apart from a minority of misguided fellows who go after these islamophobic organisations, the rest of SL stood with Muslims. There is a way we handle such situations and we have again this time as well.
That still does not give mob the right to take justice in their own hands.Whether anyone is Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, at the end of the day they are all srilankans and have equal rights. If a national park is being destroyed, again its the state who will have to decide if its legal or illegal and not some bunch of goons burning shops.
yes and that is why the situation was controlled and the violent ones were jailed.
I thought Sri Lanka has around 100% literacy rate.
Actually the high literacy rates has not really helped us. Sadly
Muslims are acting lawlessly. That is why Sinhalese people have taken law into their own hands.
So instead of respecting the state laws and customs you suggest Muslims to take arms if they can't to what they like? This is the exact reason why Muslims being targeted all around the world.
Sri Lankan police is more than willing to take the side of Muslim in the name of political correctness. This is why Sinhalese have lost their confident of the law and police itself.
We are utterly thankful for Pakistan for come to our own aid in 1999. But, other than the warm relationship between both countries there are no religious connection between both the countries.
I dont think there is NO point in blaming the victim here. You have to accept Islamophobia is a big problem in SL today in fact more than Islamic extremism. The government needs to take tough measures to control it.
But you support the buddist extremists and fanatics attacking a unarmed minority?
How am I a hypocrite I already said everyone has thev right to self defense, if being attacked by extremists especially if the law does nothing to protect them like in sri Lanka
There you go blaming buddist extremism on others.
The sri Lankan Muslims are a poor unarmed minority, you have already falsely claimed that entire sri lankan government panders to this poor minority (a lie on your part to justify persecution)
You are justifying Buddhist extremism by saying "oh look at why Buddhists are turning into fanatics" as if there is a legitimate excuse
Sri Lankan law has not just failed to protect this small unarmed Muslim minority but also failed to track down and imprison the buddist monks guilty of hate speech
Sri Lanka has protected the Muslim minority in this case, with so much difficulty. That is why the violence ended with only 1 death and damage to property which can be rebuilt with compensation. The Muslim community were protected and some of them were housed in Buddhist temples. Local Buddhist monks went inside mosques and spent the nights with Buddhist young men to defend mosques. That is how it was done and more damage was avoided.
What police inaction? The police were out there firing tear gas as soon as the riots started. The riots happened in the suburbs of Kandy where organizing and mobilizing a anti-riot force takes much more time than the main city or Colombo
Also there is no such a thing as "Non Buddhist Tamil" areas, that is hillarious and stupid. So do we now have lands with races and religions? Also the temple you show is a historic one, the Nagadeepa Raja Maha Viharaya is one of the most sacred Temples in Sri Lanka and a ancient one as well, unless your definition of "new" is based on centuries.
There is no restrictions on building Temples or Mosques or Churches in Sri Lanka. Mosques ,Hindu Kovils and Cristian churches are built almost everywhere even where their populations are quite low. You can see many Kovils and Mosques all around the Western and Southern Provinces
Yes this is pure police inaction and government inefficiency. Any fool can understand when known islamaphobes, went to the funeral of the killed Buddhist and started speeches, something violent could happen. Instead of controlling the situation, the government was idle.
I think a more populist govt with strong roots will solve this new problem in Lanka
Rajapaksas need to be back.
Why the sudden interest now? Buddhist have been ethically cleansing Tamil Hindus for decades In Sri Lanka , mass civil war , suddenly if Muslim gets targeted here it becomes international news?
Then how come Tamil population in SL is rising?
Sri Lanka sees rise of islamophobia at the moment. More and more islamophobic material from english websites are translated to local languages brainwashing people. It is like how west was met with islamophobia few years back. The government has to take action on that.
The Sri Lankan army is in charge of the area
The Northern province is under an election provincial council.
How Sri Lanka is controlling the issue
