Bleeding Mate,
Before starting to kill Arabs, Americans nuked Japan killing hundreds of millions of Buddhists
There is also some thing called cause and effect.
Do you remember or aware of the atrocities committed by the Japanese against Chinese before 2nd world war and also against the people in the occupied countries during the 2nd world war. Do you remember how they treated the prisoners of war and they were not very different to how the Jews were treated by Hitler and were only bones and skin left behind.
Who unfairly started the war against the US by just bombing Pear's harbour.
Nuclear bomb may not have been dropped had Japan accepted the defeat and surrendered. At that time the two bombs saved many human lives instead of continuing war but of course no one realised the long term impact.
I don't deny the crimes committed by the US in Korea and Vietnam but when you split hair all have some hands in these crimes. One can even justify Hitler's action and also for Japan to go into the war because of the West's attitude in Japan.
Can we call Arabs innocent? They kill more of their own people than what the US had done. Just look at Syria and how they bomb and kill its own people and its very country. This is exactly what SL too did to tamils in Vanni and some other Tamil areas.
This is why we must be careful when we try to interpret the ethnic conflict in SL where both sides have equal share for this chaos. It is absolutely funny when Sinhalese (some) claim that tamils are responsible for all these!! |

If religion and its practices lack patience and understanding then it is not a religion at all.
But the people who build places of worship should have a sense of decency and try to respect others feelings, believes and values.
If an area if classified as sacred area for a particular religion then other religion should not go in to that area and put up buildings or statues.
Sadly this problem is seen mainly (in SL) with the Buddists and of course Muslims in other countries. In the past history of course christins too did that.
One should see how ancient Hindu temples were damaged and replaced with mosquese. Of course there are decent rulers like in Istanbul where huge beautiful churches were converetd to mosques but they did not erase the christian identity.
In SL Buddist are well known for these activities. kataragama and now Ketheswaram and also Muneswaram which are all ancient Hindu historic 'Thalams' are at least partly invaded by Buddist monuments. The funniest part is that Buddists are faithful followers of Hinduism and yet they want tyo enfoce Buddism into that which is mostly a political or authoritarian symbol of Sinhala Buddists.
In N&E where there are no Buddist at all in some areas where as they are just building buddist temples and for what?

That Jaffna was occupied by the Sinhalese earlier than by the Tamils is seen not only in the place names of Jaffna, but also in some of the habits and customs of the people
Extracts from 'Ancient Jaffna' by Mudaliyar C Rasanayagam (1926).
After the massacre of the Christians, Sankili's ( king of Jaffna) insane fury longed for more victims and he fell upon the Buddhists of Jaffna who were all Sinhalese

we live in a global village mate...what happened to SL in geneva could happen to PAK or IND next time... without other countries support whose going to help?
You miss the point. The issue is, between SL and Muslim countries, who needs whose support and I have given clear examples which I don't need to repeat.
same thing happned to Japan during the world war, and because of our then president JR that USA didnt put econimic sanctions to Japan... thats why Japan is SL's friend :)
I am a little confused. JR was President from 1977 and the war, by which I believe you are referring to WWII, ended in 1945. So how could JR have stopped the US from imposing sanctions on Japan?

as long as SL has the support of Russia and China, which we have, we dont have to be afraid of not getting the help of muslims... true that they provide oil to us,not only for us but they provide oil for most of other countries in the world
but do you know that oil will be dissapeared from the globe in after another 50 -60 yrs?
:D

the Ceylonese Finance Minister J. R. Jayawardena spoke in defense for a free Japan and informed the conference of Ceylon s refusal to accept the payment of reparations that would harm Japan s economy. His reason was We in Ceylon were fortunate that we were not invaded, but the damage caused by air raids, by the stationing of enormous armies under the South-East Asia Command, and by the slaughter-tapping of one of our main commodities, rubber, when we were the only producer of natural rubber for the Allies, entitles us to ask that the damage so caused should be repaired. We do not intend to do so for we believe in the words of the Great Teacher Buddha whose message has ennobled the lives of countless millions in Asia that hatred ceases not by hatred but by love .
Minister Jayewardene s speech was received with resounding applause. Afterwards newspapers such as the New York Times stated The voice of free Asia eloquent, melancholy and strong with the tilt of an Oxford accent dominated the Conference. The ablest Asian spokesman at the Conference was Ceylon s Finance Minister J. R. Jayewardene .

The latest measurements confirm that the world's oil and natural gas supplies are running out too fast. At some time between 2010 and 2020 the world's supply of oil and gas will fall below the level required to meet international demand.
The US government is aware that we are about to endure a disastrous international energy shortage. According to Dr James McKenzie, a senior member of the climate change programme at the World Resources Institute in Washington, USA: 'That's why we went to war in Iraq.'
We always knew the world's oil reserves would run out eventually. The oil was formed by natural geological processes which occurred over millions of years. Oil consumption presently exceeds 25 billion barrels a year and demand continues to spiral upward, out of control. The outcome is inevitable. |

this is typical rubbish. Pollonaruwa kingdom, Kandyan kingdoms had hindu temples and why did they have when there were no Tamils according to this distorter?
There were several hindus at that time including kings, queens and many workers including soldiers and hence the need for hindu temples. And more importantly many Buddists even today patronise hindu temples in flocks and go there for all their urgent and sensitive issues. Even the ruling King Percy and co is not an exception.
On the other hand Hindus hardly ever went to Buddist temples. So no point building buddist temples in areas where there are no Buddists. In some places they even plant army to guard the temples, what a shame.
This simple principle should be understood by this racist idiot before uttering his two cents.
The simple message is that (1) Buddism is used as a symbol of oppression of the minorities (2) It is just complex and insecurity in the minds of sinhala buddists about their identity.
