Dear Rushdi Gataderiya,
you have started in a very positive note and I am happy to hear that from you. But then you have gone on labeling BBS or other Buddhists as extremists. Did you notice any reason for them to be so? Referring your own words, you have stated that Sinhalese enjoy the freedom mostly in the post war ear ect.If so what is the reason for them to be extremists ? The thing you have forgot to mention is about the Muslim Invasions in SL. All of the Muslims Mosques which were destroyed were built on top of Buddhist Temples. do you agree or not? Have we ever heard any issue related to a Mosques destruction in an area where there was no Buddhist Heritage? Why are you not writing any thing on Muslims destroying Buddhist Temples and building Mosques on top of it? Any thing about Asad Sally calling the Kuragala Ancient Temple a 1400 year old Muslim Site? When you point one finger , there is always four fingers pointed at you. The thing you should understand it Buddhism is a way of life in Sri lanka. It has been so for the last 2000 years. We dont have any issues with Muslims or Tamils as long as they live in peace. That has been the case ever since. But when ever the minorities get violent, then the majority has to respond.(that's the nature) You have gone on expressing your displeasure on the Halal Ban? just think it this way, Buddhist Monks are going to charge 10 Rps from every item you purchase. Do you as a Muslim agree to it? Then again you have mentioned about the wrong doings in the resettlement's happening in the north, please take a look at the Cencus records in the North in the late 1960′s. Lastly , not only Muslims in the country are without basic needs like education, why did you neglect that aspect?
