The moral obligation for all people living in Sri Lanka is to live in harmony with each other and particularly in harmony with the pre- dominant religious culture and beliefs and not hurt the moral sensitivities of the majority.
This requirement prevails in all Countries influenced by Abrahamic religions, especially in Islamic countries.
This condition also prevailed in Sri Lanka prior to 1505.
When in Rome do as the Romans is a wise way to avoid conflict between communities.
This requirement needs to be stressed by the State in Schools, Media, Public Relations, and be made part of public policy.
We, in Sri Lanka, can no longer afford to take chances with failed ideas and experiments not of our own making.
