says how muslims treated that man because he refused to convert to muslim
I am not sure whether you really read my reply. Read again. If you want to rely on a website of evangelists and accept a one-sided version as truth, you are not following the Buddha who said:
Believe nothing, O monks, merely because you have been told it, because it is traditional, or because you yourselves have imagined it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings - that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide.
Gautama Buddha (Source: Kalama Sutta, Pali Canon)

something that I will never approve
Are you a veggie? Or do you consume meat if it is not killed in the name of God but by other means? |

That means the President has done an excellent job between 2009 and now to lose the support he had in 2009.
nobody can control it when the super power controls everything. some of the african countries supported US bcos they get huge amount of donations from the US, which unfortunately as a developing country SL is in no capacity to do. but that doesnt mean we will give the peelam to peelamists :)
I have to agree with you on the eventual demise of the US empire. Like all empires before, the US also will have to face its collapse sooner or later. In spite of all their super technology, they are on course to meet their destiny.
thumbs up

dear friend, isnt that what we all have been doing and will be doing right now? we all listen to news and read news on internet, without really knowing what happened, we accept them as truth.
simply tamil diaspora are delivering a bad image about SL to the world... and the world without knowing what really happened/ is happening accept what peelam diaspora are saying as gospel truth..
even the recently visited Indian delegations were surprised to see the real situation in SL when all these times they were hearing the twisted truth
Are you a veggie? Or do you consume meat if it is not killed in the name of God but by other means?
I'm not a veggie, but certain meat I don't eat, not bcos of my religion but bcos of my personal views.
But we buddhists dont kill animals for a non existing god.. like humans animals too have a right to live..I wish I was a vegetarian but thats something you need to practice since childhood..
would you like if someone kills you in the name of god? animals too feel that same pain like humans when they are killed

Nuclear bomb may not have been dropped had Japan accepted the defeat and surrendered.
This is a subject of scholarly controversy with those who support the nuclear attack and those who oppose it. I tend to agree with those who oppose the nuking of Japan.
Those who oppose the bombings, among them many US military leaders as well as ex-president Herbert Hoover, argue that it was simply an extension of the already fierce conventional bombing campaign. This, together with the sea blockade and the collapse of Germany (with its implications regarding redeployment), would also have led to a Japanese surrender so the atomic bombings were militarily unnecessary. |

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.
What evidence do you have when you say that Arabs 'kill more of their own people than what the US had done.'?
Syria (and Libya too) is a classic example of 'Truth being the first casualty in a war'. In both cases, foreign force are involved. It was rather easy in Libya because the Libyan military was rather weak and NATO faced little or no opposition in finishing off the Libyan military and overthrow and lynch Gaddafi.
Syria is a different kettle of fish with strong air defences and NATO is reluctant to get involved for fear of losing its planes. Of course, the Russians would not permit any UN resolution authorising military intervention. Hence, the mercenaries are all on their own. That is why the so-called uprising in Syria has been going on for so long.
What the Syrian government is doing is fighting a foreign inspired attempt to overthrow it. Can the Syrian government be faulted in attempting to eliminate a threat, particularly when alien forces are behind the threat? |

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.
I have raised the question of sacred area in my posts. I wonder whether you read them. Do you agree with the concept of demarcating sacred areas in regard to Buddhism, without knowing for sure whether the Buddha had suggested this concept and outlined its details? |

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...
My friend, don't forget all these big countries have their own axes to grind. These two countries, in spite of their dependence on Iran for massive business (Russia) and oil requirements (China) voted against Iran when some UN sanctions were imposed. Why? because the Americans were able to blackmail them on some other issues.
Compared to Iran, SL is small fry. So, don't count on the Rusians or the Chinese. |

I have already answered it please check. buddha has never said abt sacred areas. but thats how we preserve them due to their historic values otherwise they will become another commercial area like katharagama.
buddhism is maninly involed with meditation. if a mosque is built there and you hear muslim prayers in a loudspeaker day/night, do you think the priests and all other ppl who go there will be able to meditate?
sacred areas, perahara, bodi pooja are unique to sri lankan culture and buddha has never mentioned anything abt them.
same way has allah told you that you need to sacrifice animals to respect him, never allow a buddha statue inside a mosque etc etc..
has hindu 'Shiva' asked to do animal sacrifice as pooja? has Shiva deiyyo said that ppl should put up kovils every where and chase away buddhists?
