        What did you do when the historic Buddhist statue was blasted in Afganisthan ?. Celiberate ?. By the way, if you believe in Karma, what happened within six months after destroying the statue was amazing. Wasn’t it. Now the country is f……..d.

          For what afghans do u mean to say sri Lankan Muslims are responsible?Before looking at afghanistan look at our own backyard at Dambulla where that baldies start attacking the place of worship.Isn;t the act is a form of terrorism?

      You mean like Vimal Weerawangsa and the rest of the robed gang in crying their throat hoarse. What showed here is the genuine anger of the people who have great love for their leader. So there’s no hypocracy in what they do.

        Yes,when u attack the muslim place of worship in Dambulla,kurunegala,Dehiwela etc, and making the sri Lankan muslims insecure,you mean to say Muslims are violent.Further singhalese insults muslims and yet for last 4 decades they stretch their legs in Middleast.If u hate muslims why the hell are the Sri Lankan men and women running to Middle eastern countries like mad dogs?If they love the country they should be in Sri Lanka sweeping the roads and sweeping the toilets,an ungrateful people like no other.

      Exactly right..! ! Just give one of those loosers a visa to the US and I’m sure that they will forget about the religion and strat drooling about the better days… Hypocrits indeed. Most of the protesters are un-educated and cant even spell the United States of America…

        Yeah, because those arabs treat women like second class citizens. What about women’s rights ?. If you are born as a muslim woman it is like a life time in prison.

    It is amazing to note why the peaceful Buddhist did not burn the Koran when the

    Muslims destroyed the Sacred and Historically Important Buddha Statues on

    Afganistan.

      Even if the whole quran in the whole world is burned it dont take that much of a time to put it back in a book form as we have the highest number of people in the world who had memorised it as we have only one version of quran.in the case of christians its difficult to memorise had they got 77 versions written by different authors.

        What about the book on Mahawamsa?
        How many versions are there.

        Understand a new version is under preparation to include Mahinda and deleting all victories by Tamil kings.

        Tuan…why can’t you keep the ‘Christians’ and the Bible out of this trash dialog between you and a few others….it’s so amazing that you are so bugged about the so called ‘versions’ of the Bible! Thats INSECURITY my dear tuan, INSECURITY. Bless you my brainwashed friend. I hope you will walk in the light one day!

    Isn’t it better to burn a flag than to incinerate an embassy or murder embassy staff? Burning a flag or effigy is considered freedom of speech although this act will not pass anymore in the USA as free speech. If doing so, be forewarned that the charges could be be one of or a combination of the following: unpatriotic behaviour under Prevention of Terrorism, disorderly conduct, public menacing, littering in public, illegal burning or smothering without a permit, sexual harassment of US flag/effigy or any combination of concocted and exaggerated charges. If one is non-white, expect a much swifter sentence. ff MUSLIM – guilty beyond reasonable doubt and forget innocence. If Muslim with a beard and baggy clothes – One way ticket to GITMO and for ablution – enjoy the water boarding! In Sri lanka, we just wish them all a ‘suba-anagathayak’
