Christian Clergy Counter-Productive Moves?Prof. Hudson McLeanAs expressed by several contributors in Lanka Web, Christian and Catholic Clergy pro-LTTE activities are biased and counter productive to the Peace activity in Sri Lanka. As a practising Catholic, I am personally astonished, to say the least, to see Tamil Clergy playing a dominant pro-Terrorist role in the North. Perhaps one might say that the Buddhist clergy is acting in a similar mode. Let us face facts - No:1. Ceylon or Sri Lanka has been a predominant Buddhist civilization. Conversions of the Sinhala population by the invading Portuguese and the Dutch did not have much of an impact on the good relations between the Buddhist and the Christian Sinhala. If the Christian clergy wished to play any role in the integration of the populace in Sri Lanka, they should have invited and included both the Buddhist and Hindu clergy in their somewhat unnecessary visit to Wanniya. Let us face facts - No:2. There is no Peace Process in Sri Lanka. There has never been one. Only a temporary one sided (SLG) cessasion of hostilities between the Terrorists and the SLG. The LTTE never kept to their word. The Tamil Terrorists do not understand the meaning of Peace. They are violent by birth. Their life is built around violence. They depart this world in violence. The "white Tiger" partners Norway with their Cheer-leader Erik Solheim, now elevated to the title of a Minister, is a 100% LTTE Tiger Terrorist sympathizer. The SLG will not get any change from him. The SLG strategy to keep him on a long leash and allow him to make a complete ass of himself is a good one. If you look at the face and the eyes of Velupillai Prabahakaran, one will see what an evil pair of eyes he has. He portrays the features of Satan himself. This savage can never sit around a table and enter into a civilized conversation. Same applies to Dr. & Mrs Anton Balasingham. This is a face of global terrorism. The innovators of the suicide squad. The trainers of the women Tiger killer brigade. Like Milosovic, Saddam Hussein, Adolf Hilter, Stalin, Pol Pot, the LTTE Brigade should be taken Dead or Alive. Then the Peace has some prospect. And the Christian Clegy should know their place and not try to play God to all! I take this opportunity to -; WISH ALL SRI
