P007, Is 'Tahmbi' a bad word or a derogatory word?

Wick

Whether 'Thambiya' is a derogatory term or not I don't know for sure. You should really ask yourself, if you are a Sinhalese that is, whether you use it derogatorily and ask a Muslim whether he takes it derogatorily. As far as I know, it is used and taken in a derogatory sense, just like the term 'nigger' is used against blacks.

The term 'Thambi' is used affectionately and differently to 'Thambiya' which you rightly say is used frequently in a derogatory manner.

As far as Hakeem and gang are concerned....good riddance! He was a forked-tongue two-timing guy who doesnt serve the muslime or tamil people and only works for his personal gain so it doesnt really matter which side he's currently on....he's a bad egg. The only true leader the muslim people had, Ashraf met an untimely end at the hands of the LTTE. No one has truly taken over since then.

This man has done the right thing. Better leave honorably than be a piece of a bent Government.

Some MPs of SLMC take decision according to the direction of their hat shaking. Howmany times SLMC crossed over to UNP and SLFP?. SLMC must have a good leader like Asrof because hakeem is bias.

Hakeem did not do this for 'Summa'. Hakeem was very well looked after by the Tigers/Traitor Ranil.

When the LTTE was contrlling the East, Hakeem did not have any land issues.....Now that the Tiger's defeated in the East Hakeem has got land issues!! How come these land issues NEVER cropped up during the 2nd reading of the budget for which Hakeem voted with the Govt.???

This has nothing to do with Land for Muslims....Hakeem has accepted money from LTTE/Traitor Ranil/Gnanakone alliance....
