Aani,
Sinthaka in the country I live in there is guarantee of freedom of speech. The law is same for everyone. There are anti discrimination acts. There is press freedom. And I can stand in the middle of a hundred white people and wear a Verti and pottu without fearing for my physical safety:))
Right-ho! UK is a paradise....we've head this before :)))
PLEASE DO NOT Google 'Religious Hate Crimes in UK', or you might face some depressing articles.

Aani,
Please look away. Paradise UK is Un-Paradising it self. You don't want to see this....it wouldn't appeal to your White man washing instincts.
Religious hate crimes rise fivefold
The number of faith hate crimes has risen fivefold in the fortnight since the London bombings, the Guardian has learned. The Metropolitan Police has recorded 800 race and faith hate crimes since the July 7 attacks.
The number of faith hate crimes, predominantly directed at British Muslims, has passed the 200 mark. In the same fortnight last year, 30 faith hate incidents were reported by the Met.
Nationally, the figure for hate incidents directed at Muslims has passed 1,200 as a backlash continues.
The intelligence pattern of incidents and attacks provides one small comfort. There was no intensification in hate crimes after the revelation that the attacks were carried out by British-born Muslim suicide bombers.
Analysts believe the attacks are continuing at the same intensity as before. Most incidents are of name-calling and threatening phone calls.
The figures are almost certainly lower than the actual level, with studies showing hate crimes are under reported by a factor of four.
Police have won broad praise from Muslim groups for their efforts to protect them from a backlash. But ministers know that if police are seen to be failing to protect Muslims, that would further damage the chances that any information Islamic communities have about extremist activity is passed on.
After Thursday's failed bombings, police are trying to damp down any increased tensions which could trigger a rise in attacks.
The Met has now passed the effort to counter hate crime to its most senior Muslim officer, assistant commissioner Tarique Ghaffur. The Guardian has learned he will also spearhead the force's efforts to get British Muslims to inform on extremists, and those youngsters at risk of being influenced by extremists.
Senior officers have talked of a gulf in trust between the police and Britain's diverse communities.
The concern, underscored by a belief that more intelligence will come from Muslim communities if they feel confidence in the police, explains Met commissioner Sir Ian Blair's words of reassurance yesterday that his force was targeting 'criminals', not members of one community.
The backlash is feared to have led to one murder in Nottingham, and arson attacks against several mosques. The once notorious Finsbury Park mosque in north London has received 30 threatening calls in the past fortnight.

If you are in Australia it is a big lie.
Police have been pushed, pelted with beer bottles and had their patrol cars stomped on as violence worsens at Sydney's Cronulla Beach.
Racial tension turned to violence today as at least 5000 angry people converged on the beach after simmering anger and disputes between beach users flared last week.

The lion flag with the borders is the Kandyan flag. The minorities were added as an afterthought, 4 years later. The minorities are outside the flag within flag, the lion flag. Also the armecd lion is looking threateningly at the minorities.
ANAI,
The problem here is not in the way the Lion is posing or where the minorities are placed in the flag, but in the way you look at it, which in essence is racist.
Had the lion faced opposite direction, your ilk would now be whinging about Lion turning its back to the minorities. Had the strips denoting the minorities placed within the area which denotes Sinhala Buddhists, your ilk would have viewed that as a part of a grand plan to dissolve the identities of minorities.
The cleansing of Srilanka started in 1948, when more than a million Tamils were excluded from citizenship overnight.
Mister, if you don't know the facts, first try to understand what actually has happened. All those Indians (and Pakistanis) were brought in here as subjects of the King of England and not as subjects of any Sinhala or Sri Lankan administration.
Prior to independence, it was agreed through Indo-Ceylon discussions (held from 1940 onwards) that Indians who had been here continuously for over two generations would be entitled to Ceylon citizenship through descent. Only about 5000 qualified (out of about 800,000 Indian workers here). Thereafter, for purposes of retaining some more Indians here (to work in the estates) the Indian and Pakistani Residents (Citizenship) Act was enacted in. 1949. Based on this Act, a further 134,000 obtained citizenship. These were the people who had had continuous residence here for 7 years (in the case of married persons) or for 10 years (in the case of unmarried persons) from 1.1.1940. Under Article 8 of the Indian constitution, the rest of the Indian workers here (who, like all Ceylonese had been British citizens upto independence) were deemed Indian citizens. Accordingly, those Indians who did not qualify for Ceylon citizenship under the descent law or the 1949 Acts automatically remained Indian citizens. They did not become 'stateless' nor were they 'disenfranchised', but remained Indian citizens under the Indian law. This myth of 'statelessness' and 'disenfranchisement' was deliberately spread by India sponsored trade unions and anti-UNP Marxists who (ie. the LSSP) were a branch of the Indian Bolshevik-Leninist Party, Thus, the local LSSP had to toe a pro-Indian line on orders of their mentors in India.
So Mr. ANAI, the best thing you can possibly do right now is stop uttering nonsense. If you find it difficult to rid of that life long practice, at least try your best to utter such things to an audience who are ready to listen to such crap.
