In claiming that 'Buddhism the best gift to the world from Sri Lanka' is a lie, a big lie and such lies desecrates the noble faith Buddhism. It was India's gift to humanity Lord Buddha was born there and attained nirwana there. All religions are also gifts to humanity. Buddhism is further desecrated when it is associated with Sri Lanka more so as the Sinhala Dwipa. Sinhala Buddhism as practiced is Buddhist fundamentalism which has repeatedly committed genocide on the Muslims, the Christian, and now the Tamils. The whole world condemns the atrocities in SL but the leaders of that demon country take cover/justification for these the sins behind the noble and universal Buddhist religion. Over 250 000 Tamil civilians killed (discount the Buddhist/Sinhala figure of 70 000 in preference to figures given by independent non Buddhist observers ) over a million driven from their homes overseas as refugees, the rest (also millions) of the Tamils displaced over and over again through scotched earth policies devastating their livelihood in the North and now the Vanni, the arrests and the sufferings and the daily peddling of lies by the Buddhist/Sinhalas does make a mockery of these savages' claim that they are Buddhists. Are these sins the Buddhist dhaana to the Tamils? Are these Buddhist values (God forbid)that India and many other countries bade good bye to. These observations apply only to the Buddhist/Sinhala practitioners not Lord Buddha or his noble teachings.

Buddhist turned violent due Tamil nationalism/racism/violence.
Pre 1900 there was no ethnic violence in Sri Lanka. All ethic communities lived peacefully.
If Buddhist were violent they could have killed all the Tamils before present time and made Sri Lanka homogenous society. No UN or anyone to protest.
