Jillball,
I take it that you don't know a lot about the world then...
In London, muslims are outraged by constant raids. Most raids produce nothing but the muslims there are helpless.
I am quite sure the British police would have taken every effort to ensure the legality of those raids, you are throwing up a strawman here. I haven't heard of any Muslim media personalities or journalists being abducted or killed in any of these countries, have you?
I haven't heard of large numbers of Muslims being taken into custody in the middle of the night with no evidence whatsoever.
I haven't heard of torture being the regular routine policy when dealing with muslim detainees in those countries (and please don't bring up gitmo, having you quaran flushed down the toilet is not torture!).
In fact it seems every muslim detainee or their lawyer gets quite a bit of media time too, do you hear anything about the Tamils who are detained in this way, do they even get a lawyer? You only find their bodies a few days later. |

Hi JohnA, his case is a little complicated, yes he was all what you say there, however he was Tamil in name only, thus all though his entire outlook was with the Sinhala majority, that one factor that he was 'Tamil' was used as a tool by the GoSL to give legitimacy to what he said. Which is why I consider him the lowest of the low.
That is your problem! If you stopped seeing them as belonging to different races, and identify them as Sri Lankans who are committed to Nation Building then you would have a clear understanding of how it is done! |

I think on this issue we have to agree to disagree. You see it as a Tamil living in SL ?, but I see it as a westerner who frequently visits the country. I can tell you that Karidigamar has done more for the intellectual image of the country than any other citizen of the country since 1948, with the possible exception of Arthur C Clarke. His death was the worst possible event for Sri Lanka, because it showed the nation as a whole, and the Tamils in particular, as a bunch of 21st Century Luddites. If you don't like, you don't disagree, you destroy. |

Two weeks ago there was a plan afoot to blow up 8 transatlantic jets by Islaamic groups in the UK. Not by Buddhist or Hindu militants, not Jehovahs Witnesses or Plymouth Bretheren extremist movements, but by Islaamic militants. If minority immigrant groups foster militancy in their bosom, they cannot really complain if they come under particularly exacting scrutiny from the host nation.
Hi John, this was my point, even under these circumstances the authorities in all this countries treat muslims equally under the law and make sure they have evidence to back up any detentions and even after detention they are treated fairly. All of which are missing in Sri Lanka with regard to normal Tamils, let alone any suspected LTTE. |

Don't be ludacris. Women work for women. I don't know whether it is a man or a woman. The comment was dum. If it is statement made by a woman, I never said this is the most dummest woman. I said this is the dummest comment I heard! |

Revy,
You are throwing something from LTTE['s so called peace office.
In Britain there is no such menace like what the sri lanka has to go through. there is no killing of innocent civilians by a terrrist group like LTTE. But only threats and occasional incidents, which are countered in the appropriate way. In Sri lanka, the police is doing their utmost to protect civilians from constant threat of drug smuggling, cyanide biting, LTTE. The scales are different. |

Less you talk, more you show your intelligence and awareness of the world.
There was a very controversial arrest of two brothers by the British Police in London. the brothers were released with no charges made against them. they are now charging the police for arrest and brutality.
Then there were arrest of 24 people. Obviously part of them were backed by evidence but the rest have not been charged yet, police are struggling.
Why don't you speak about tamil film industry? |

UK...Never had terrorism ? Sorry but in the UK, do you not remember the IRA ? Manchester bombings, Birmingham bombings and the London docklands ? This is the very reason why when dealing with terrorism it is the British security service that are the first port of call, because they have had extensive experience of dealing first hand, and with a degree of success. |
