Wilpattu Plunder – Elephants and Leopards Replaced by Muslims?
Posted on April 19th, 2014

In one of the worst plunders this nation has seen after the British left, Wilpattu National Reserve is being destroyed by unscrupulous extremist elements. What is most surprising is this happens without anyone protesting against it! Wilpattu National Reserve is a national treasure. Forest cover of the island has reduced drastically from 25% four decades ago to just 15% today. With the plunder of Wilpattu, it will worsen dramatically. Led by a UPFA MP and minister, Muslim colonization of Wilpattu happens unabated. Interestingly the same is happening in Yala – the only other large National Reserve. The culprits are the same. The reason for this massive plunder is uncontrolled humongous population growth of the Muslim community. Government attention must be drawn to this time bomb which can have huge adverse ecological, sociological, economic and security implications. The root cause must be addressed, not the symptoms.

Astronomical population growth

Astronomical population growth of the community is at the heart of the problem. Since 1881 to 2012 the Muslim population increased 10 times compared to just 7 times for the others. At this tremendous population growth rate, Muslims have run out of land in their original places of abode. Hence expansion into national reserves and forests. Special laws apply to Muslims in the country including legal polygamy and ease of divorce. A Muslim man can be concurrently married to four women but if a non-Muslim concurrently marries two men, he commits a criminal offence! A Muslim may simply and quickly divorce his wife using the Islamic ‘Thalaak’ system but a non-Muslim has to undergo a gruelling and lengthy divorce process that may take up to 7 years for him to marry again. Contraception is not practiced widely in the Muslim community. Saudi Arabian financing reaches Sri Lankan Muslims to populate the island. These four reasons are the main driving forces of their unsustainable population growth.

Unless the government addresses these issues of legal discrimination in marriage and divorce, Arabic financing of population growth and lack of contraception in the Muslim community, this problem will worsen. Not just people of other creeds but also the flora and fauna will be pushed out to create room for them.                                                       

Over 100,000 Maldivian Muslims have illegally migrated to the island. This too adds to the burden. Had the Sri Lankan government entered into a legal agreement to accept Maldivians in return for area gains adjacent to the Exclusive Economic Zone it would have benefitted the nation. In the absence of such reciprocal gains, the influx of Maldivians into the island is a large burden.

Jaffna Muslims must be resettled in Jaffna                                                            

LTTE achieved two goals by the genocide of Muslims in Jaffna District in Black August 1990. Firstly it created a Tamil-only Jaffna District as desired by Tamil nationalists. Secondly, it caused a burden to Puttlam Sinhalese as these displaced Muslims (80,000 in number) settled in Puttlam District. The demographics of Puttlam District changed dramatically and a new Tamil speaking community was artificially established in Puttlam.

The war ended in May 2009 with the annihilation of Tamil Terrorists. All displaced Muslims from Jaffna District must be resettled in Jaffna. They should not be allowed to remain in Puttlam (unless they have their own land). Fear of Tamil reprisals and Tamil racist politics keep the government from resettling Muslims in Jaffna. This is a self defeating approach to a genuine problem. If all Jaffna displaced Muslims and their families are resettled in their original places of abode, the ruling party would have created a loyal vote base in otherwise barren TNA territory.                                                    

There are no designated ethnically exclusive homelands in this island. Displaced Muslims must be resettled back in Jaffna where they lived for centuries. They have the same right to live in Jaffna as Colombo Tamils have the right to live in Colombo.

    One answer to this de-stabilisation of the country from within:
    One Child to a Family should be made a law of the land.
    Or else there would not be no land, no water or no air to breathe soon!

  2. Lorenzo Says:

    There is a NEW TWIST to the story.

    TAMILS argue these Muslims were chased out of their homes when SL NAVY built a navy base!!

    Total lies.

    But this is the punishment the FOOLISH govt. gets when they (OUT OF FEAR of Tamil racists) don’t resettle Muslims in Jaffna.

    The second vest option is to create TENSION between Tamil racists and Muslims in Mannar to get rid of Kasippu Joseph Goebbels’s power of Tamil racism.

    ALL post 1990 Muslims in Putlam should be settled either in Jaffna or Mannar.

    “Over 100,000 Maldivian Muslims have illegally migrated to the island. This too adds to the burden”

    Very true. I put an ad to rent my house. Not a single local came initially. All Maldivians, until I kept telling “not for foreigners”. I could have rented to them for at least 50% higher. They have crowded Dehiwala- Mt. Lavinia area. I suspect, under the guise of educating children, they run brothels and drug business.

    Anyway coming back to the article, it is disgusting what is our BALL-less idiots doing. No wonder BBS is mad, Shagha have to behave like thugs whereas our buggers make merry keeping 2/3 majority by worshipping Muslims and betraying the Sinhala – Buddhists who voted them to power.

    Looking at the photo, it a disaster. Maha Ranee will have to pay for this crime.

    This is how thESE crafty people stole bangladesh, iran, pakesthan, afganisthan,
    maldives, indonesia, malaysia from Buddhists. BREED, BREED, BREED.
    It is still the same trick. After multiplying like xxxx they become voters in no time. Then mps, deputy
    ministers, ministers galore. Then start controlling the government. Sinhalese
    are divided thanks to the UNPatriotic party. This is ideal environment for the mossies.
    Thanks to TRAITOR DIASPORA the president had to beg mossie countries’ votes.
    Now he is bending over backward to promote the mossies in our country.
    These xxxx are a menace to any country. BREED BREED BREED AND OUTNUMBER.

    As I have stated before the “Muslim problem” along with the “Evangelical Christian problem” is going to destroy the Buddhist culture of Sri Lanka. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE! Sri Lanka has faced the specter of Buddhism be extinguished under the Portuguese Colonial rule. It took Thailand (then Siam) to bring back Buddhism to Sri Lanka.

    THIS TIME SRI LANKA WILL NOT BE THAT LUCKY!!! The global Islamic movement is spreading across many nations like a cancer. The article specifically places the blame on some laws of marriage and the fertility rate of Muslims. BUT IT DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE CONVERSION OF NON MUSLIMS!!!

    I will repeat this till I cannot anymore. SRI LANKA NEEDS TO BECOME A BUDDHIST THEOCRACY!! That forbids other faiths from converting Buddhists to their faiths. That gives the Buddhist Sanga the natural power it enjoyed since the days of King Devanampiyattissa. Stop the conversions. Start Converting those Sinhalese back to Buddhism. Remove special laws to religious minorities. By making Buddhism a state faith it forces everyone to adhere to the principles of Buddhism.

    The article states:”Government attention must be drawn to this time bomb which can have huge adverse ecological, sociological, economic and security implications. The root cause must be addressed, not the symptoms”.
    BY LOOKING AT THE PICTURE THE SOCIOLOGICAL AND ECOLOGICAL DAMAGE HAS ALREADY HAPPENED.

    As was the history of Sri Lanka if the government embraces alien foreign ideas to govern the nation then it falls upon the Buddhist Sanga to rectify this terrible calamity THAT HAS ALREADY TAKEN ITS TOLL. How long must one wait to realize the damage has already been done. It is not longer an issue of preventing a problem. Now it is how to fix the massive damage already done on the culture, the eco system, and the nation.

    Treat this Muslim/Christian problem in the same manner as the aggressive Tamil terrorism that plagued the nation for 30 years. Cut the “Muslim/Christian” movements NOW. Make it a central political issue for any government, AND simultaneously the Buddhist Sanga has to start the process of demanding that existing laws that favor religious minorities be removed. The invasion into these parks be immediately stopped till a court decision is reached or existing laws be used to remove them. Start reforesting the land. start reconverting the people. Start building the Buddhist infrastructure that has been taken down. ACT NOW OR LOSE THE WAR FOREVER!!

    Second comment:
    I am making a second comment so this would stand out from my first comment. 50 ODD MUSLIM NATIONS BRAZENLY PRACTICE A THEOCRACY THAT DOES NOT ALLOW ONE SINGLE FAITH TO TAKE ROOT IN THEIR NATIONS AND THE UN TO THIS VERY DAY HAS ALLOWED THAT AS PART OF THE MUSLIM FAITH.

    It can be done and meet the same standards of the United Nations who allow over 50 odd Muslim nation to do exactly what I stated in my first comment. None of those Muslim nations are considered to be human right violators for forbidding other religions to practice on their soil. I am NOT even asking that. All I am asking is that Sri Lanka takes the best from her Buddhist past and make it her 21st century ideology. Even in China Buddhism is making a huge comeback. To see the oldest unbroken Buddhist nation be hijacked by Islam or Christianity is too painful, to horrible.

    IF THE UN ALLOWS 50 ODD MUSLIM NATION THE LEVITY TO PROTECT THEIR FAITH THEN SRI LANKA ALREADY HAS A LEGAL PRECEDENCE UPON WHICH TO BECOME A BUDDHIST THEOCRACY THAT PROTECTS BUDDHISM AND BY THAT HER ECOLOGY, CULTURE, AND SOCIETY.

    Reduce parliamentary seats from Matara and Kurunegala and increase in Vavuniya and Nuwara Eliya. What the HELL?

    “Sri Lanka’s Election Department has reduced the number of slots in parliament assigned for Matara District in Southern Province and Kurunegala district in North Western Province.

    One slot each has been reduced from the Matara and Kurunegala districts and the two slots have been assigned as one each to the Vavuniya and Nuwara Eliya Districts.

    The Elections Commissioner makes an annual announcement of the parliamentary slots to each district in the country according to the voter population.

    The Elections Commissioner has recently issued the gazette notification announcing the number of MP slots for each district, which had shown the reduction of slots from the Matara and Kurunegala Districts and an increase in the slots for Vavuniya and Nuwara Eliya Districts.”
