Political Islam is a global problem and not confined to Sri Lanka alone
Posted on July 19th, 2014
Shenali D Waduge
The propagandists enjoy flashing across mainstream media to project the notion that Muslims are targeted only in Sri Lanka and only by Buddhists. We know that is not so. Every country around the globe including the 57 Muslim countries of the world are having issues with Muslims. If it is not about Muslims and non-Muslims the conflicts surround Muslims against Muslims. The problem is not a small one especially when 23% of the world is Muslim (1.62billion). If Islam is a religion of peace exactly how has Muslims ended up in arms fighting either themselves or non-Muslims? Is the violence the fault of non-Muslims or is it found in the religious texts of Islam? What needs to be accepted by all Muslims is that leaving aside hyped propaganda, a problem does exist. If it is not to do with Muslims-Muslims it is Muslims vs Non-Muslims. Given that there are always the mischief makers looking to make personal gains from these conflicts, the most important question is what are we going to do about the problem or in particular what does the Muslim world propose to do about the problem. They can either deny or decide to resolve the issue at 2 levels: the Muslim-Muslim differences and the Muslim-Non-Muslim integration. In both issues the inability to co-exist takes centre stage. How can Muslims co-exist because if they cannot co-exist amongst themselves how can they co-exist with non-Muslims and who or what is stopping them from co-existing is what Muslims need to now identify?
The general allegation is that non-Muslims do not understand Muslims or Islam. We can next ask whether do Muslims understand themselves or Islam because the factions and differences are so strong that violence has become the only chosen way of silencing the other. The Muslim world cannot deny Muslim attacks on Muslims.
The primary issue is that Islam the religion of peace, the foundation of a world civilization does not add up with ground realties and these realities pervade worse in countries where
Muslims are in charge of their own. Almost all majority Muslim nations are backward, people are illiterate and women are abused. There are only 500 universities in the 57 Muslim countries in the world whereas in US alone there are 5758 universities and 8407 in India. Literacy in the Muslim world is just 40%.
How global is the problem
Incidentally the issues that citizens around the world are complaining about are the same as in Sri Lanka.
- Mushrooming mosques/madrassas
- Demand for halal labels
- New Muslim dress and behavior in both men and women
- Loudspeakers from mosques disturbing with intent to drive away non-Muslims and create ghetto areas
- Challenging the existing value system of the indigenous natives and demanding upperhand for Arabic values
- Minority Muslims dictating how the indigenous natives of countries should live
- Creating cities within cities where a new Islamic system pervades
- Demanding parallel law with Sharia / Islamic banking /
- Cattle slaughter/Animal sacrifice/ritual killing
If Sinhalese Buddhist say that the new trend challenges the Buddhist ethos and Buddhist sensitivities it is no different to what the British, Dutch, French and natives elsewhere around Europe are saying. When ghetto areas have already been created, with Muslim cities ruled by Koran running parallel to the existing country law, naturally Sinhalese Buddhists have every right to be concerned. Political correctness created the mess in Europe and political selfishness and greed is creating the mess in Sri Lanka. Politicians and lethargic public officials are largely to blame for the situation going out of control.
If the UK Education department is now introducing a new set of rules to govern schools in the light of the new dictates taking place, should Sri Lanka not do the same instead of caving in to unjustified demands?
Minorities cannot dictate how a country’s majority population should live especially when it was that majority population that built the Sinhale nation and gave safe haven to the minorities when targeted for slaughter by colonial invaders. This has become only a terms of reference.
If in the UK there are Islamic no-go zones, it is a blueprint taking place elsewhere too. Non-Muslims are being driven out of these areas by subtle ways starting with the excessive loudspeaker usage to which authorities have turned a blind eye inspite of judicial instructions. France has a list of a 1000 lost territories to Islam inside France. Brussels the capital of the EU is ¼ occupied by Muslims where Islamic districts prevail. Police are even scared to enter these areas. Non-Muslim teachers had been even forced out of Birmingham and many schools in the UK had to follow practices of fasting and segregation of sexes. The Muslim Council of Britain has declared that UK needs Muslim values. None of these examples are signs of peaceful co-existence that the secular Muslims are chanting.
If these incursions are not part of Islam why is it being promoted on the banner of Islam and there are Muslims to ready to follow these dictates? Is it not because there is a steady following of people aligned to the new Islamic dictates that the troubles are increasing and not likely to be solved? If none of the incursions highlighted are part of Islam or in the Koran why have Muslims agreed to follow this new pattern that people are seeing an increase in. It is not just in Sri Lanka that people are noticing the list of incursions. The West has begun to notice these same incursions as well. If the mullahs are brainwashing and demonizing the Muslims, should the Muslims not stand up against this? To solve the problem should it not be the Muslims themselves not to align to the incursions that are directly meant to challenge peaceful co-existence and thus create tensions?
There is statistical proof to show that Muslims have chosen the path towards tension. Pew study reveals that
- The majority (52 percent) of Egyptians support the Sept 11th killings.
- The majority of Lebanese support suicide bombing.
- 40 percent of Indonesian Muslims would use violence against those blaspheming Islam.
- 76 percent of Moroccans want strict sharia in every Islamic country.
- 86 percent of Jordanians support death for anyone who leaves Islam.
- 84 percent of Egyptians support death for anyone who leaves Islam.
The rest of the statistics is alarming too. In Denmark 5% of Muslim immigrants consume 40% of welfare. This 5% make up the majority of those convicted of rape on non-Muslims.
Another aspect that even Sri Lanka is now awakening to is the self-imposed isolation by Muslims. Who is dictating that Muslims move only amongst their own?
Factors not yet prevalent in Sri Lanka but very much a concern in Europe are forced marriages, threats to kill Muslims who convert from Islam, honor killings etc.
The biggest concern Sri Lanka has that can be matched with what Europe is experiencing is the demands for Islamic law. With Sri Lanka having given the all important portfolio of Justice to a Muslim political leader, a man who has a history of political kangarooing from one party to the other for personal gain, it is no exaggeration to say that a lot of manipulations and pro-Muslim bias is taking place within the judicial system at all levels (from education to administration) and the country’s leaders are silent with inaction.
If Europe is now saying that cultural relativism must end and proudly proclaim western culture, Sri Lanka with a civilization of over 2500 years has every right to declare the Buddhist ethos must prevail in Sri Lanka and that the sensitivities of the Buddhists must be respected by all citizens. If the British want Britain back to the British, the Sinhale nation belongs to the Buddhists that built it.
While we can confidently say that minorities are the safest in the hands of the Buddhists can we say the same treatment for Buddhists by minorities? In Muslim majority nations can one find the freedom for non-Muslims as non-Muslims find in Sri Lanka?
In Muslim majority cities even within Sri Lanka, are Buddhists treated with respect using the same slogans of what Islam supposedly claims to preach? Have Buddhists in these Muslim majority cities being covertly driven out so that Muslim ghetto areas could be created and have been created? Do we need to give examples of how predominately Buddhist cities are today occupied by only Muslims? In areas where Muslims dominate is there anything that is secular or multicultural taking place of late? Where are the examples that can be given to show the same compassionate and freedom given by Buddhists to non-Buddhists is given by Muslims to non-Muslims in the same proportion? The answers to these clearly indicate why the Buddhists have awoken to the ground realities which politicians have conveniently swept under the carpet because for them their only concern is to lead a plush life and remain in power. The minority political leaders are however dictated by their ideology and because funds are sent to ensure that their gameplan takes shape while pretending to function as representing the people. There are no minority leaders like Sir Ponnambalam Ramanathan today we have only political opportunists.
If Europeans and the British are now calling to rally around in a united front against the tide of incursions it is what the Buddhists of Sri Lanka have every right to do. The mushrooming mosques, churches, madrassas, prayer centres, faith healers abound throughout the country and along the main roads indicting to any tourist that a visible change is taking place to a predominately Buddhist nation. Archaic colonial laws have not changed to reverse the parallel systems created aware that with time these seeds would reap trouble. Post-independent governments have failed to return the independence of Sinhale that was handed over to the British. Until the Sinhale Nation is restored to the rightful owners we cannot say we are an independent nation.
What non-Buddhists cannot deny is that the safest religion in the world is Buddhism. It is all encompassing and the most harmless philosophy to follow. If not follow, it poses no threat, no challenge and no danger to non-Buddhists. There are no rules, no laws and brainwashing. Faith cannot be blind and people should have every right to question and Buddhism allows questions and gives answers.
Do Muslims find peace amongst their own?
The violence across the Muslim world has raised an important question – Is the belief in Islam sufficient to bind Muslims in peace with each other. It next raises another question, if it can’t then can we expect Muslims to be in peace with Non-Muslims? These are all questions for Muslims themselves to answer. Muslims cannot remain in denial or look for scapegoats.
At the centre of all conflicts is ‘hate’ – hate has fuelled gulfs dividing Muslims as well as non-Muslims and these are all sourced to the sacred texts of Islam and the different interpretations. Muslim leaders have found it convenient to only concentrate on areas where Muslims have been victim but totally ignored where violence and incursions have been instigated by Muslims.
If Muslims are as peaceful as they say what or who is making them violent and why are they quoting texts of the Koran in defending their violence and who exactly is equipped or able to stop the violence and incursions for not only is there a steady following of Muslims ready to be violent there are Muslims ready to take part in the incursions as well.
So on the one hand we have Muslims in arms against each other and against non-Muslims and then at another level we have a rising number of Muslims ready to make non-existent Islamic demands in non-Muslim nations that they had previously been living in harmony. This is the crux of the issues that the world is today plagued with.
Much of the fault line leads to the trilogy (Koran, Sira & Hadith) itself. Koran however comprises just 14% of that trilogy though 64% of the Koran is about non-believers or kafirs while 37% of Hadith refers to kafirs. Islam is 14% Allah and 86% Mohammed the prototype for a true Muslim. Koran tells 91 times that Mohammed is the perfect Muslim acceptable to Allah. The actions and words of Mohammed are Sunna (Sira is the biography of Mohammed while Hadith are a collection of stories about Mohammed). What many are not aware of is that the Koran of 632AD is not the Koran of today because the original Koran of Mohammed was destroyed by a caliph (Uthman). The historical Koran was written in Mecca while the later Koran was written in Medina. The early Koran is religious and poetic while the later is violent. Koran and Sunna have verses that contradict each other. Koran 2:219 says that Muslims should be tolerant and forgiving to People of the Book.
Koran 9:29 says to attack the People of the Book until they pay the jizyah, the dhimmi tax, submit to Sharia law and be humbled.
Many believe that Political Islam has taken over religious Islam because of the reference to kafirs and how to subjugate them. When Mohammed preached Islam for 13 years in Mecca he had only 150 followers. When he was forced to move to Media he became a politician and warrior every Arab was turned into a Muslim. Political Islam reaped results not religion. Core of Islam’s power has been violent and thus the reason to refer to it as a political ideology. Whenever non-Muslims bring quotes from the Koran or Sunna citing hate texts against non-Muslims the immediate response is to bring another quote. What needs to be said is that at no point in time is the earlier quote declared as wrong. Whatsmore, with so much reference to kafirs and the fact that there are 2 sets of rules for Muslims and non-Muslims it clearly depicts that Islam is not a religion of equality. The only good about kafirs in the Koran is just 2.6% (245 verses/4018 words). Even that good is contradicted.
In Sri Lanka, no one wants to live without peace. We have 30 years to know what it is like to not live in peace. What we do not want is to see minorities dictating how Buddhists should live in a nation that they built and a nation that they have defended from invaders over centuries. No non-Buddhist can deny that Sri Lanka has not welcomed them. Buddhists have not had the same treatment in return. Those that point fingers at Buddhists know this fact very well.
Muslims have been referred to as Tamil Muslims and the meaning extended drives home the reality that while Sri Lankan Muslims are now caving in to Arab imperialism the Sri Lankan Muslims will never be regarded or accepted on equal terms not even for marriage. It is this that requires Muslims to return to living as they did without falling prey to Arab imperialism shrouded by wahhabi influence.
Where should we go from here? For starters given the nature of this global problem, it is for Muslims of Sri Lanka to realize that the incursions pointed out are those that had not been an issue previously because Muslims did not demand such earlier. It is the removal of these that can only return to the past that was devoid of troubles with mutual respect. No Muslim can say they were denied right of their religion but Buddhists cannot say the same in majority-Muslim countries and majority-Muslim cities in Sri Lanka. There lies the difference and there lies the opportunity to make the change for peaceful co-existence

GOSL refuses to believe LTTE is regrouping. USE this as a cover to wipe out Tamil Elam politicians.
Future LTTE will be TAMIL MUSLIM terrorism.
“Three suspected members of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), who were arrested in Malaysia and charged with attempting to revive the now defunct terrorist organisation, were brought back to Sri Lanka, police said.
They were brought to Sri Lanka last night and are currently in the custody of the Terrorism Investigation Department (TID), which is conducting further investigations, the Police Spokesman’s Office said.
Edmond Singaraja a.k.a. Seelan a.k.a. Shashee, Aguru Kamkanamlage Indika Sanjina a.k.a. Mohamed Sanjaya Abdul and Abdul Saleem Bin Mohamed were arrested by operatives of Malaysian Special Branch’s Counter-Terrorism Division (SB-CTD) earlier this month.
The men were believed to be trying to revive LTTE and make Malaysia as a base for its operations.
The LTTE suspects had possessed refugee cards issued by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) at the time of their arrest, however after extensive investigations by Malaysian authorities measures were taken to deport them to Sri Lanka.”

There are many extremist politicians among muslim politicians.
How many Sinhala politicians talk for buddhists. Sinhala people are silent.
Rajitha Senarathne, he may be a Christian or a Catholic, came and blamed BBS when Aluthgama incident happened.
DM Jayarathne talked against buddhist monks because one monk hurt his feelings.

One of the most toxic brews has been the infusion of money into the Islamic world. The greatest trouble spots of Islam are in the Middle East. The spread of radical Islam such as Wahhabism has been from Saudi Arabia. The vast amount of money has not only created wars in the Middle East but funded Muslim upon Muslim wars across the world especially in the poorer African nations.
I would also like to add that Muslims perceive their intrusion into other faiths as “normal” act and should not be covered by the media as an intrusive act. Again the sheer wealth of oil has helped the Muslim world since the 20th century to take control of the world media outlets and in many cases, governments.
A case in point is Israel. Hamas has been launching rockets at Israel for years and the world media simply reports it sporadically and never takes a stand on the issue. The UN stays dead silent on the issue. Now Israel is demolishing dozens of tunnels dug by Hamas from the Palestinian region into Israel. What has been the world reaction? condemnation of Israel followed with a demand for immediate cease fire and Muslims taking to the streets in cities like Paris and London.
It is interesting to note that such violent street demonstrations HAVE NOT taken place in India which has one of the largest Muslim populations for any nation and in Sri Lanka. Muslims in these non Muslim nation know such actions will be not tolerated as in Europe. It tells that if Non Muslim nations exert a level of pressure on their Muslim minorities it does have an effect. If the voice of protests can be restricted then it opens the door to the extent Muslims in traditionally non Muslim nations can be controlled and eventually reduced in favor of the traditional faith of that nation.

Very good move. Deport ALL parasites including Tamil Nadu illegals in SL.
“Sri Lanka Controller of Immigration and Emigration Chulananda Perera said that all overstaying foreign nationals including the Pakistan and Afghan nationals who had applied for refugee status would be deported.
Last week, the government took steps to deport five Afghan nationals who had been overstaying in Sri Lanka, said the Controller of Immigration and Emigration.
He further stated that there were 1,450 Pakistan nationals and 40 Afghan nationals overstaying. They have applied for refugee status from the UNHCR office of Colombo and their applications are being processed.
They expect to migrate into another country after their application for political asylum is accepted.
Sri Lanka police had already arrested some of these Pakistan and Afghan nationals. They are held in Boossa and Mirihana detention centers and interrogated to ascertain whether they have any links with terrorism.
Many of these Pakistan nationals belong to Ahmadiyya Muslim sect and they claim that they are under constant threat of the mainstream Sunni Muslims.
NO WE DON’T WANT YOU. GET OUT OF SL!

Useless 13 amendment curse takes a new turn!!
Good for the foolish govt. for keeping these pieces of dirt (SLMC and provincial councils). SACK Hack-him.
“Sri Lanka’s major Muslim party Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC) has decided to demand the Chief Minister position of the Eastern Provincial Council.
SLMC claims that the President Mahinda Rajapaksa and the leadership of the ruling coalition United People’s Freedom Alliance (UPFA) had promised to give them the Chief Minister position after two and half years.
SLMC had consented to the Chief Minister Najeeb Abdul Majeed of ruling United People’s Freedom Alliance (UPFA) on this condition, said the secretary of the SLMC Hasan Ali.
According to this condition, he said, that the SLMC had to be given the Chief Minister position by next year.
Ruling UPFA won 22 seats including the seven seats won by SLMC at the election held in September 2012. The opposition has 15 seats making SLMC the crucial factor in forming a government in the Eastern Provincial Council.”

Thank you Shenali on listing out the problems being created by Muslims. Regarding the UK, the issue is exacerbated by the UK policies of “multiculturalism” which has now come back to bite the very same ‘policy makers’ !. Of course all that was done to ‘buy’ the votes of the minorities. Learning from the events in the UK, what is needed in Sri Lanka is not pandering to the minorities creating divisive communal forces but encouragement for integration. In your future comments I would like your inclusion of the failure of “multiculturalism” in the UK – S de Silva – London

How can Muslims co-exist because if they cannot co-exist amongst themselves how can they co-exist with non-Muslims and who or what is stopping them from co-existing is what Muslims need to now identify?”
This problem exacerbated with Saudi oil money and the Wahhabis. Why? There are two schools of Thought.
So, the Conflict is between Alllah Following Moderate Muslims, and the Devil Following Wahahbis and their clones, who wants to destroy Muslims,, their Primary Target.
1. The Wahaabi Claim that they Follow True and Pure Islam.
2. Non-Wahhabi claim they follow the Devil, Satan, Shaitan, predicted by by Hadith, and therefore they Follow the Devil in Opposition to God, Allah. That way, the Devil, Wahhabi can destroy the Muslims from within.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadith_of_Najd
The Hadith of Najd is a famous hadith with several chains of narration about three geographical locations. While all Sunni Muslims accept the group of hadith as authentic, the exact location of the area referred to as “Najd” is disputed.
A number of authors have claimed that the hadith refers to Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, the patronym of the Wahhabi movement. It is accounted that the origin of Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab is from the modern day Najd region of Saudi Arabia,[14] which happens to be the only surviving region that carried on the title of ‘Najd’ after the geographical codification regardless that there were several distinct locations known previously as ‘Najd’. This theory is generally supported by adherents to other various sects in Sunni Islam that have disdain for Wahhabism.
Similarly, BBS can be equated to Wahhabis, the Sinhala Buddhist Version of Maras, trying to destroy pristine Sinhala Buddhism. However much you try to whitewash,BBS Terrorism, the BBS Terrorism will be interpreted as Sinhala Buddhist Racism and Terrorism.
Karl Marx: “Religion is the Opium of the masses”
Steven Weinburg: “To make good people to do bad things, it takes Religion”
True for Wahhabi Devil Followers( Muslims?) as well as BBS Mara Followers. ( Sinhala Buddhists?)

Al-Maʿarri
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Ma%27arri
His religious skepticism and positively anti-religious views are expressed in a poem which states, “The inhabitants of the earth are of two sorts: those with brains, but no religion, and those with religion, but no brains.”[16]
Abul ʿAla Al-Maʿarri (Arabic أبو العلاء المعري Abū al-ʿAlāʾ al-Maʿarrī, full name أبو العلاء أحمد بن عبد الله بن سليمان التنوخي المعري Abū al-ʿAlāʾ Aḥmad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Sulaimān al-Tanūẖī al-Maʿarrī, born 973 CE / AH 363, died 1058 CE/ AH 449) was a blind Arabian philosopher, poet, and writer, who belonged to the Arabian tribe Al-tanukhi. [1] [2][3]
He was a controversial rationalist of his time, attacking the dogmas of religion and rejecting the claim that Islam or any other religion possessed the truths they claimed and considered the speech of prophets as a lie (literally, “forgery”) and “impossible” to be true. He was equally sarcastic towards the religions of Muslims, Jews, and Christians. He was also a vegan who argued for animal rights.
In 2013, almost a thousand years after his death, a Jihadist group beheaded the statue of Al Ma’arri during the conflict in Syria.[4] Al Ma’arri remains widely cited among modern Arab atheists.[5]
Philosophy
Al-Maʿarri was a skeptic in his beliefs and denounced superstition and dogmatism in religion. Thus, he has been described as a pessimistic freethinker.[9] One of the recurring themes of his philosophy was the rights of reason against the claims of custom, tradition, and authority.
Al-Maʿarri taught that religion was a “fable invented by the ancients”,[10] worthless except for those who exploit the credulous masses.[10]
Do not suppose the statements of the prophets to be true; they are all fabrications. Men lived comfortably till they came and spoiled life. The sacred books are only such a set of idle tales as any age could have and indeed did actually produce.[11]
Al-Maʿarri criticized many of the dogmas of Islam, such as the Hajj, which he called, “a pagan’s journey.”[12]
He rejected claims of any divine revelation.[13] His creed was that of a philosopher and ascetic, for whom reason provides a moral guide, and virtue is its own reward.[14]
Al-Maarri’s fundamental pessimism is expressed in his anti-natalist recommendation that no children should be begotten, so as to spare them the pains of life. In an elegy composed by him over the loss of a relative, he combines his grief with observations on the ephemerality of this life:
Soften your tread. Methinks the earth’s surface is but bodies of the dead,
Walk slowly in the air, so you do not trample on the remains of God’s servants.[15]
His religious skepticism and positively anti-religious views are expressed in a poem which states, “The inhabitants of the earth are of two sorts: those with brains, but no religion, and those with religion, but no brains.”[16]
He was equally sarcastic towards the religion of Islam as he was towards Judaism and Christianity. Al-Ma’arri remarked that monks in their cloisters or devotees in their mosques were blindly following the beliefs of their locality: if they were born among Magians or Sabians they would have become Magians or Sabians.[17]

Amarasiri is a well known Muslim extremist with a Sinhala father (hence the surname).
1. BBS cannot be equated to Wahabism. BBS follows the PUREST form of Buddhism. Their CONDUCT may differ because their conduct is NOT supported by Buddhism. Wahabis conduct is supported by ISLAM.
2. All this Aluthgama things happened because Muslim JIHAD terrorists (NOT Wahabi terrorists) attacked Buddhists. Please watch the video.
3. The biggest problem is Muslims breeding out of control in SL. That is the DISEASE. Aluthgama is a SYMPTOM of it.

“Amarasiri is a well known Muslim extremist with a Sinhala father (hence the surname).”
Bullshit from Lorenzao , aka Jim Softy -Avtars.
“The inhabitants of the earth are of two sorts: those with brains, but no religion, and those with religion, but no brains.” Al-Maʿarri
Examplew. Wahhabis and BBS and many others.
“1. BBS cannot be equated to Wahabism. BBS follows the PUREST form of Buddhism.”
Where in the Dhamma, Tipitaka, does it Show the destruction and killing by Buddha?
Wahhabis and Mara BBS want destruction.

Lorenzo, JimSwifty and Avatars,
“”3. The biggest problem is Muslims breeding out of control in SL. That is the DISEASE. Aluthgama is a SYMPTOM of it.”
Quantify with census data, the factors that contribute to it if true, compared to the other communities, taking into account the emigration of Sri Lankans during this period, and the data normalized.
July 21st, 2014 at 5:46 am
Lorenzo, JimSwifty and Avatars,
“BBS follows the PUREST form of Buddhism. ”
Compare the BBS “Buddhism” to What was tight by the enlightened Buddha. What are the differences. What did Mara and Devdatta teach?
You will see that BBS is Bullshit, “Goma” being thrown into pristine Buddhism, like Bullshit, Goma being thrown into pristine cow-milk.
Read up on, Buddhism and Hinduism too.
1. Read and understand the Summary of Buddhism , What Buddha Taught bt Rev. Dr. Walpola Rahula, ISBN 955-9219-19-7
2. More detals on Buddhism, you can read, The Buddha and His Teachings by Ven. Narada Thero, ISBN; 978-955-663-345-0. NEW EDITION 2012.
3. Remember, the Precursor to Buddhism is Hinduism. So you need to read up on Upanishads as well. Upanishads, A New Translation by Patrick Olivelle, Oxford WorlD’s Classics, ISBN 978-0-19054025-9 Buddha did not take a position on God or a creator God,

Lorenzo, I always knew Amaraya is an assumed name clearly taken up to misguide readers. I suspected Amaraya is a Muhammadan for he always comes up with lies and illogical logic to prove it. But I never knew bugger is fathered by a Sinhalaya. Shame shame shame on that man.
Here Amaraya is telling us about good Muslims and bad Muslims. As far as we who read about Muhammadanism is concerned, there cannot be any moderate Muslims. All Muhammadans either follow Koran to the letter or not follow it and become apostates. One cannot chose to follow some verses in the Koran and ignore the other verses. But the penalty for being apostate is death.
Amaraya Muhammad read a bit of Marxism here and there and try to correlate with the context of Koran verses as described in Hadith to tell us Wahhabis are Devils. If jihadi of Wahhabi or Salafi Thowheeds catch him they will skin him live. If Amaraya Muhammad gets near Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi of ISIS, they’ll send him to hell immediately.
Whoever interpreted the Koran right is no concern of Sinhala Buddhists. I like if Muhammadans continue to kill each other if only they leave we Sinhala Buddhists alone. As Shenali explained in her article, Muhammadans have become a threat to Sri Lanka and Sinhala Buddhists in particular much more than Tamils have ever been.
Whether BBS is following ‘MARA’ or not is not the point. The majority Sinhala Buddhists by far accepts that BBS has risen against the Muslims who are waging a cultural genocide of Sinhalas is the point Amaraya Muhammad should get to his thick head.
July 21st, 2014 at 7:58 am
Leela Says:
“Here Amaraya is telling us about good Muslims and bad Muslims.”- Bad Wahhabi, Salafi, Deobandi etc. Good ones chose good verses, bad ones choose bad verses.
Also Here Amaraya is also telling us about good Buddhists and bad Buddhists. Bad BBS. Good Buddhists choose Dhamma, Bad Buddhists choose Mara.
Why. Read Steven Weinburg: “To make good people to do bad things, it takes Religion”
Amaraya has been called Atheist. Mohammedan, Christian Fundamentalist, disoriented Buddhist, Juhadi, Communist, Veddah, Para-Demala, etc. Read comments in http://www.colombotelegraph.com
The correct way to characterize Amaraya, is as an Agnostic Egalitarian Philosopher.. Every other description is pure humbug. JUST address the Issue raisedRereligion people cannot argue their Myths, brainwashed and drowned in them. Rebirth, Reincarnation, karmic energy, Soul, no-Soul, Hell Heaven, Purgatory, and Limbo Myths.
Read Amaraya comments in http://www.colombotelegraph.com
“The inhabitants of the earth are of two sorts: those with brains, but no religion, and those with religion, but no brains.”[16].
Read:Al-Maʿarri Reason Vs, Revelation and Al Ghazali and other on the Reason vs. Revelation debate. Copernicus, Galileo and Kepler put an end to the Geocentric Myths of the Ancients and the Church.

eliminated. Or they have to leave the area. When this is repeated over
time country’s native disappear. That’s their dirty trick.
Then breeding gets out of control. Then they have to fight for resources.
These new breeds need food, schools, medicine, housing, jobs etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.
Then the mossies start killing each other. That’s nature’s mechanism to control things.
That’s why the 2004 tsunami killed mostly mossies. Too much breeding.
Breed, breed, breed and say lla will provide for them. Anybody on two legs
with an iota of brain will not believe that. But these are mossies.
Go to other people’s countries and breed and breed. Their book of terror says
kill all non-belivers while living in somebody else’s land. Who can call that a religion?

Lankaweb Moderator,
Why is it taking so long to put Amarasiri’s comments, whereas you put Lorenzo’s and Leelas’s comments quickly? Why double standards? Indigestion of the issues? Wahhabi do the same to atheists and agnostics.
The Christian Church banned the Heliocentric model… because of indigestion..

Shenali is right, we musn’t forget Political Islam in its modern form was created by the British Empire a hundred years ago in the Middle East as means to destabilise countries around the world. Also Britain is ludicrously blaming Russia for the downing of the Malyasian Airliner when Britain is one of the biggest sponsors of terrorism in the world from Al Qaida to the LTTE. As most Sri Lankans are well aware of. I hope lankaweb publishes this excellent article by Kurt Nimmo of inforwars.com which details a lot of the things that Shenali Waduge has been saying on lankaweb.com over the years.

Leela,
You are right.
Amarasiri is a Muslims EXTREMIST. There is NO PLACE for Muslims like him in SL.
SL’s largest HEROIN haul detected. As the previous RECORD HIGH, this one too is done by MUSLIMS! No surprise there.
“Three industrial grinding machines packed with heroin were seized at the Orugodawatta container yard by customs officers a short while ago, in what is believed to be the largest haul detected in the country, sources said.
The industrial grinding machines had arrived in the country from Karachi, Pakistan.
A suspect has been arrested with the machinery and is currently in the custody of Sri Lanka Customs. The two Clearance Officers responsible for clearing the equipment are also in custody, sources said.
However, they are yet to be question because they are fasting and they will be questioned as soon as they break-fast, sources said.
The total weight and value of the heroin haul is yet to be estimated while customs officials are currently dismantling the machines.
UPDATE: Customs says that the heroin haul is approximately 100 kilograms with a value of Rs 700 million.
Customs spokesman Leslie Gamini stated that the two Clearance Officers arrested with the heroin haul are not Sri Lanka Customs officers.”

Muhammad Amarasiri,
BBS does follow the PUREST form of Buddhism but their conduct is NOT always what the TEACHINGS say.
Wahabis follow a MORE TWISTED form of Islam, not the ordinary Islam you follow.
That is the difference.
July 21st, 2014 at 1:55 pm
AS,
They follow CIRCULAR LOGIC.
“Why do you believe the horrible violence in Koran?”
“Because Allah says so.”
“How do you know Allah said so?”
“Because the Koran says so.”
“Why do you believe the Koran?”
“Because Allah says so.”

“Because the Koran says so.”

Welcome Amarasiri , Leela, JimSwufty, Avatar and others to this web page. I have met you in other web sites and sometimes confront and exchange opinion on various subjects concerning Sri Lankan. So in my opinion it is very appropriate to meet their point of view and if warranted to correct them and guide them to think otherwise or positively.
So let us invite them to contribute to this page and meet them, unconcerned of who they are.

Yes.
It should be based on the items under discussion, unconcerned who they are, Atheists, Agnostics, Wahhabi, BBS follower, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Christian, Jew, etc. because facts and truth does not carry tags, other than the discoverer, inventor or eyewitness.
The Classic Example is the Heliocentric model, initially postulated by Polish Copernicus, additional conformation provided by Italian Galileo, and German Kepler, and the Gravity introduced by Newton as to why Earthlings did not fly off the rotating Earth.
Expose the Truth, and discard Falsehood.

U.S. Religious Knowledge Survey
Executive Summary
Atheists and agnostics, Jews and Mormons are among the highest-scoring groups on a new survey of religious knowledge, outperforming evangelical Protestants, mainline Protestants and Catholics on questions about the core teachings, history and leading figures of major world religions.

Lorenzo,
Is Buddhism a Religion? Is Islam a Religion?
Yes, Both are Religions, because, both are based on beliefs, and after-life.
What both lack is proof. However, the Priests, Monks and Mullahs have great Hegemony. They have not been able to convince agnostics.

Muhammad Amarasiri,
You are off the topic. Buddhism is NOT a religion. It is a philosophy. Modayas cannot understand it. For them there is Islam.
Let me remind you the topic.
Political Islam is a global problem and not confined to Sri Lanka alone
SLs are hand in hand with the WORLD in DESTROYING political Islam.
July 21st, 2014 at 4:56 pm
Lorenzo,
“You are off the topic. Buddhism is NOT a religion. It is a philosophy. Modayas cannot understand it. For them there is Islam.”
Greek Philosophy was Philosophy. Philos =love Sophy =Wisdom.
There is Buddhist Philosophy, and Islamic Philosophy. However, BOTH Buddhism and Islam, Hinduism, Christianity and Judaism ARE RELIGIONS, because they deal with AFTER-LIFE. So they are RELIGIONS, God or Not.
Ancient Greek philosophy arose in the 6th century BCE and continued through the Hellenistic period, at which point Ancient Greece was incorporated in the Roman Empire. It dealt with a wide variety of subjects, including political philosophy, ethics, metaphysics, ontology, logic, biology, rhetoric, and aesthetics

Leela Says:
“Lorenzo, I always knew Amaraya is an assumed name clearly taken up to misguide readers. I suspected Amaraya is a Muhammadan for he always comes up with lies and illogical logic to prove it. But I never knew bugger is fathered by a Sinhalaya. Shame shame shame on that man.”
Bull Shit. This is the standard defense, when one cannot address the issues at Hand.
The genealogy of Amarasi is not the Issue. The issue is political Islam and its causes and its impact globally and locally.
Who are the so-called Sinhala ? They are South Indians and most of them are Sinhala speaking Tamils. Test Their DNA with Tamils and South Indians. So They all are Paras, Foreigners, Para-Sinhala, Para-Tamil, Para-Muslim and other Paras, except of course the Native Veddah,. They were NOT Buddhists, They followed their Egalitarian Traditions until the Buddhist Monk Hegemony was imposed on in the Land of Native Veddah. They call them Aadivassi now, and keep stealing their land.
The different religions are not much different. They ALL are based on Myths. Political Islam and Political Buddhism, practiced in Lanka, the Land of Native Veddah is not much different.
“The inhabitants of the earth are of two sorts: those with brains, but no religion, and those with religion, but no brains.” Al-Maʿarri
So Leela has Religion, Buddhism, and No Brain, just like Lorenzo aka Jim Softy, has Religion, and no Brain
Agnostics have no Religion and therefore have Brain.

Spot on Lorenzo, spot on. Muhammad Amarasiri is going on a tangent as usual.

Leela aka K.A. Sumanasekaras says:
“Amaraya Muhammad read a bit of Marxism here and there and try to correlate with the context of Koran verses as described in Hadith to tell us Wahhabis are Devils. If jihadi of Wahhabi or Salafi Thowheeds catch him they will skin him live. If Amaraya Muhammad gets near Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi of ISIS, they’ll send him to hell immediately.”
Amaraya is an Egalitarian Agnostic Philosopher. Philosophy is Love of Wisdom. so Amaraya is looking for Wisdom, wherever he can find it, Engels, Marx, Abrahamic Religions, Buddhism, Upanishads etc. Cut one thing is clear.

Leela aka Sumanasekersa say: “If jihadi of Wahhabi or Salafi Thowheeds catch him they will skin him live. If Amaraya Muhammad gets near Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi of ISIS, they’ll send him to hell immediately”
If Amaraya was in Spain or Italy, 400 years ago the Inquisitors would have got him, and burned at the stake, just like what they did to Giordano Bruno in 1600 for claiming Copernicus was correct, the Earth goes around the Sun and that there were multiple worlds. Now that Inquisition Business is taken over by the Wahhabi and their clones, by calling their victims Apostates with these Devil Followers going berserk.
Looks like BBS monks and their goons wants to Emulate the Wahhabis, and go berserk, like they did at Aluthgama rampage.
That is why BOTH the WAHHABIS and BBS Follow the Devil, Mara, Satan. Strange Bedfellows.
July 22nd, 2014 at 5:04 pm
Muhammad Amarasiri,
Stop spreading Quranic hogwash.
More and more Muslims in SL follow WAHABI BS including SUFIS, SALAFIS, AL THAQQIYAS and SUNNIS. This is a fact.
The main problem is mosque-itos breeding out of control. Some ENFORCED birth control is needed to keep Muslim population STABLE at 5% of the SL population.
If you are what you say you are, you should see this mosque-itos breeding as the BIGGEST problem facing SL.
July 22nd, 2014 at 5:07 pm
Muhammad Amarasiri, you talk like Anvar Manatunga (may Satan be pleased with him).
