Wake up! Stop the Islamic terrorist cancer now !

Thursday, May 9th, 2019

Ben Silva The present day Muslims are descendants of Yemani and Arab traders. They married local Sinhala woman. Ancient Sinhala Kings defended the Muslims from the aggression of Portuguese and Dutch invaders,  who would have wiped out the Muslims. In general the Muslims lived in peace with the Sinhalese.

Friday, June 6th, 2014

America’s Indian Ocean Bases, US Geneva Resolution, British way of subverting justice and Cameron’s Hypocrisy

Tuesday, April 29th, 2014

By Bandu de Silva  “Sri Lanka’s new port built at Hambantota figures very much in this discussion.
