Perhaps he stumbled upon a computer one glorious day, looked in amazement as the keys, once tapped, brought into the visual the thoughts running through his head. So supercilious was he that he at once decided that it was only right that he share his charming little rant, and thus decided to pour his (slanted and poorly researched )bile down the throats of innocents pursuing the wonderfully wondrous world wide web. Oh I do apologize for going off onto to quite a ridiculous tangent there, but seeing as you seem to enjoy senseless nonsense it might just be exactly what you need. Make no mistake, d from k’s article deserves some serious attention. It is one kind of terrorist that straps themselves with explosives and decides it’s alright to take innocent lives, but it is the other kind of terrorist that I fear the most, the kind that pollute the world around them, using religion as a front for their racist tendencies. This article represents what the people of this country must fight against, and that is division. If the last few decades have taught us anything it is that when divided, we all fall, and we will keep falling unless people learn to look at the issues facing the country with a broader perspective and not what can be achieved for me and my people but what is best for people (full stop). Singhalese tolerance= oxymoron, is that unfair? Maybe so, but look at where ‘Mother Lanka’ is , there is no tolerance, only hurled accusations, about ancient cities and sacred cites, people are dying, get over it.

In the light of what has happenend in the past, locally as well as internationally, and still happening, the fears of Buddhists are understandable. If his facts are wrong, all that needs to be done is present the correct picture without name calling. Name calling always mars the truth. Darmitha’s article deserves serious attention.

I suppose there is nothing wrong in being a racist, especialy as you are most probably economically underprivileged. However, before you write a whole load of unresearched rubbish, pause for a moment and reflect " Am I wasting my time?"

Things are done through power and money with no disregard to any other except for their own. They will do whatever it takes to throw out everyone else out of major cities/towns and get everything the way the want and the way only for their people, but not for the country as a whole. If you look around they have done whatever they want, whenever they want as and when they feel like it with no regard to the public. Our bloody other ministers are afraid and they follow them and kiss their backsides as they have the power and money to control them. I don't live in Sri Lanka anymore but from what I read in the news and hear from many in the country, Sri Lanka is being played by some of these people. It's a shame it was a beautiful country.

I suggest you visit the Jailany Mosque, walk until you get to the viewing ledge at the edge of the mountain, admire the beautiful view, and then perhaps jump off. And Dummy, can I call you Dummy? You should thank whatever it is that you thank that someone like Mr. Aboosally was ever a part of the Sri Lankan government, that he chose to serve the Sri Lankan people, even individuals like you, who were so unworthy of his time. You, in particular, would not amount to a sole on his shoe in a hundred lifetimes; this is fact, which will seem quite a change from the fiction you appear to write. However, if Mr. Aboosally were alive to read this ridiculous article, I have a feeling that he would say that you were entitled to your own opinion, (while I personally, would like to coat it in red ants and shove it down your throat). He would also forgive you for this serious error in judgment, sincerely forgive you, because Mr. Aboosally was that special combination of everything that makes someone great, the country should be thankful that he was a Sri Lankan citizen, let alone one of it’s most competent leaders “…masterpiece of vandalism”??

Thank god the Jaffna Library contained no priceless books of historical value! Otherwise it would be a case of pot-kettle-black. You are so right - Sinhala tolerance knows no bounds.

It is bigots and uneducated racists like yourself that give Buddhism a bad name in Sri Lanka.

(I have been there many times) If you actually did bother to visit instead of spouting ridiculous statements (of which you have provided no evidence) you'd see that the Jailany rock cave mosque and Kuragala are actually not in the same place. Plus if you actually speak to any Balangoda Buddhist priest you will hear for yourself exactly what the Late Mr Aboosally did for communal harmony in Balangoda. "Fanaticism, nationalism or extremism must not be used against the Sinhalese who upto date have not destroyed any sites which belong to others" So those Churches that were burnt after the Ven. Soma Thera's death just spontaneously combusted. Idiot Have you even been to Jailany?
