What Humbug: EU/US are blowing Muslim nations in the Middle East to the stone age but promoting Muslim rights in Sri Lanka!

It is hilarious that a group of EU & Non-EU envoys have gone to meet Muslim leaders at the Dewatagaha Mosque in Colombo. These ambassadors must take the people of Sri Lanka for fools or else they are living in a fool’s paradise themselves. We ask these ambassadors to not violate diplomatic protocol by interfering in the internal affairs of nations and if they want to do any favors to Muslims, to stop bombing Muslim nations of the Middle East and destroying their ancient history by hiring trained terrorists. We must thank the EU nations for giving us the opportunity to showcase to the Muslims themselves the hypocrisy of a bunch of countries who are the real trouble makers of world chaos and disorder. To see the scale of anti Islam/anti Muslim, hate speech, discrimination and what attacks on mosques are the European examples are perfect for all Sri Lankans to wake up to the hypocrisies of these Western European Christian nations.
The EU bloc of nations comprise Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Republic of Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the UK
The European Court of Justice, based in Luxembourg, interprets the law for the 28-nation European Union, and its decisions are binding for member states. European Court of Justice (ECJ) allows employers to ban hijab.
European Islamophobia Report (EIR) declares that level of Islamophobia in the fields of education, employment, the media, politics, the justice system and the internet is on the rise.
According to Foundation for Political, Economic and Social Research (SETA) “Muslims are seen as the enemy ‘within’ Europe.” The report goes on to note that ”there is a wide consensus in Western societies that Muslims are not seen as equal citizens. Treating them as ‘others’ and subjecting them to differential treatment may also overlap with the dehumanization of Muslims.
Of the 137 mosques targeted in Europe in 2016, France saw the most with 60, followed by 54 in Germany, 21 in Sweden and two in Switzerland.

Austria:
Passed legislation in 2015 banning foreign sources of financing and requiring imams to be able to speak German. Muslims make up roughly 560,000 of Austria’s total population of 8.5 million. There were 156 assaults against Muslims in Austria in 2015, with the vast majority of incidents targeting women – 40% verbal attacks, 12% physical attacks on people, 5% discrimination, 3% graffiti. Guess what? As part of the ‘integration law’ Austria proposes to ban all Muslim face veils in public places in 2018. “We believe in an open society that is also based on open communication. Full-body veils in public spaces stand against that and will therefore be prohibited,” The integration law includes mandatory German language lessons and value courses for all refugees and migrants arriving in Austria. Those who refuse to attend the courses, would be ‘fined’ by having their social benefits cut. So everyone’s problem is learning Sinhala!

March 22, 2016, coordinated attacks at the Brussels international airport and a metro station killed 32 people and injured hundreds. ISIS claimed responsibility. Now Amnesty International says US has been supplying arms to ISIS! You can make your own deductions! Belgian Interior Minister Jan Jambon declared a significant” proportion of the Muslim community had been dancing” in the streets following the attacks on March 22; A significant section of the Muslim community danced when attacks took place,”

Sri Lanka is not a brothel
When Indian leaders want to increase Tamil Nadu votes, they come to Sri Lanka and assure Eelam. When EU leaders want to get votes from minorities, they come to Sri Lanka and do the same.
Muslims of Sri Lanka must surely wake up and realize that the Sinhalese are not their enemy and cease to take part in the drama being rolled out in both Sri Lanka & Myanmar using Muslim card this time now that the Tamil card has served its purpose.
If these EU ambassadors want to help Muslims – please stop bombing the Muslim countries, dropping chemicals that are causing birth defects and millions and millions of refugees and displaced people while nicely taking over their natural resources and pretending to give these people democracy and human rights and freedoms.

Shenali stop writing for a while and search and find out a good word for these hypocrites to include in the world dictionary so that we can use the word on these pigheads in the future. You always write something useful and in detail but who will read and take all this in to their stupid heads except people who loves this world and the human race? Politicians are there to suck the blood out of the human race and to fill their own stomach. They damn care about innocent civilians who killed in millions by unnecessary wars, floods, and other disasters around the world on daily basis. They spend millions only for talking and for discussions. If the world want’s to solve a problem they can solve it in no time but they drag on for years and waste time, money and energy unnecessarily. Take example the Palastine issue. How long is it going on? It’s sad how these hypocrites treat poor nations and it’s people.
Shenali your articles are very interesting and fabulous. I hope the big guns read these and learn something. No place for the truth in this world Shenali. Peace and freedom has been taken over by lies, death and destruction all over the world today.

Truth is always the truth but it get berried under the lies spread by the idiots and self-seekers. Senali, you have unearthed the berried truth in front of us. Thank you.
June 4th, 2017 at 6:38 am
Shenali, you are spot on…
I have no words to describe the level of hypocrisy these Western diplomats had displayed in Sri Lanka. These are the same people who created anti-Muslim hatred in the West, and fighting a Islamic terrorist war in their own backyard.
Yet, they have the audacity to show their fake HR bullshit in a developing country like Sri Lanka, to show that they really care about Muslims outside of their countries.
The truth is the West created this Islamic monster called ISIS, and now they are (the West) is reaping what they have sowed. Recent terrorists attacks in Europe are not surprising, considering US, UK, and their NATO allies have been murdering innocent citizens in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Pakistan, etc., for decades in the name of preserving freedom, democracy and HR’s, which is nothing more than a ploy to destabilize all the Muslim nations in the Middle East.
While hating Muslims who are in their own countries, they are shedding crocodile tears for Muslims in Sri Lanka. Part of this problem is due to our idiots in power who allowing this kind of BS in Sri Lanka. I don’t see any of these diplomats trying to pull a fast one on other countries like Philippines, Myanmar, or any other country for that matter. If they do, they will be kicked out immediately. But, not in SL.
Our political idiots will let anyone walk all over us, especially if they are from the West. I am disgusted the way they are allowing these westerners (or any other foreign nation) to dictate how to run our country.

Shenali good article again.
Also there is the problem. That for example Sri Lankan and Indians who are majority hindus and buddhists, or southern europeans such as Portuguese, Spanish, Italian or Greeks, or mexicans, central or south americans who live in northern europe for whatever reason etc who have absolutely nothing to do with Islam if living in central and northern european countries like UK etc. Will be a target of hate and prejudice by white anglo saxons just because they look muslim when in fact Sri Lankans,Indians and others etc have absolutely nothing to do with Muslims or Islam.
I don’t like being in the UK anyway and hopefully I get to get out of this S***hole at least for six months during the UK’s miserable winter months. When I will be spending time in Canada, United States, Australia and most of the time in sunny Sri Lanka during UK’s miserble winter months. Counting the days till I leave in early November. I can forget about the UK for six months at least does my mental well being a whole lot of good!

It is a good idea for anyone living permanently outside their homeland to blend in, as much as possible, to the main culture of the host country.
Sri Lanka should put a moratorium on the construction of all religous buildings for a period of 30 yrs or so ?
