With Sri Lanka’s intelligence virtually crippled having key officers still kept in prison, the public have to do the duty of connecting the dots. There are some alarming developments taking place. Islamic fundamentalism and Western-created Islamic missionaries go hand in hand. Wahhabi faith is a creation of British intelligence while the present day Islamic terrorists are all Western-trained mercenaries hired from West’s Muslim allies. Therefore, fundamentalism and terrorism are part of the same chaos countries that are targets of Western hegemony end up having to face. It is a pity that the Muslim world will neither accept the truth about Wahhabi fundamentalism or refuse to become cannon fodder. Sri Lanka had to deal with 76million world Tamils. This time round it is 1.3 billion Muslims. Our leaders seriously need to wake up.

Some important factors

1. Islamic terror a Western created geopolitical tool aligned to West’s Muslim-friendly states (political Islam is West’s trump card for military interventions/illegal occupation)
2. Wahhabi Islam a creation of Britain and used to turn Muslims into fundamentalists (goal is to divide Muslims-Muslims and cause dissent between non-Muslims and Muslims) Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, UAE and even Turkey allies of West for this endeavor. http://www.worldaffairsjournal.org/article/saudi-connection-wahhabism-and-global-jihad
3. Western Govts, western-owned media, western-funded NGOs/Rights Groups promote ‘Muslims are victim’ bogus propaganda as a strategy to further antagonise the majority as these minorities are indirectly urged to indulge in incursive actions against majority to add further reasons to create the backlash when the West sees fit. (attempt to build a minaret above Dalada Maligawa, attempt to set up mosques in Buddhist sacred sites)
4. Inability of Muslims to understand 1), 2), & 3) and thereby becoming ready & willing guineapigs
5. West uses 1), 2) 3) & 4) to create dissent in targeted countries and thereafter arms both sides and enters scene as conflict-resolutionists while in reality putting a foothold in lands that provide geopolitical/trade advantage to them.

• July 2014 Web comment from Nalliah Thayabharan http://www.lankaweb.com/news/items/2014/07/03/muslims-wiped-out-complete-civilisations/ In Saudi Arabia there is no Church, Synagogue, Buddhist nor Hindu Temple is allowed. Wahhabism (pseudo Salafism) is NOT a religion of tolerance. Wahhabism provides the fundamental base for Jihadism which causes unending strife and misery. It is not Iran that should be bombed. In Iran there are still Jews living there and praying in their Synagogues…. Washington and London are protecting Wahhabi extremists…. In post- Muammar al-Gaddafi Libya,Wahhabi Jihadists bulldozed several Libyan Sufi mosques (including the Tripoli’s Al-Shaab Al-Dahman mosque) and Sufi graves (including the tombs of Libyan Sufi scholars Abdullah al-Sha’ab, Abdel Salam al-Asmar and of soldiers who fought Spanish colonialists). Wahhabi Jihadists also burned down several historic Sufi libraries in Libya recently. Wahhabis are trying to take the peaceful Islamic community in Sri Lanka down the path of extremism and violence. Wahhabis have already created deep divisions in among Sri Lankan Muslims and have formed gangs that intimidate moderate Muslims who speak out against Wahhabi fanatics. Wahhabis claim that moderate Sri Lankan Muslims do not know anything of Islam and only themselves are the real scholars of Islam. Saudi Arabia spends 87 billion US dollar per year to spread Wahhabism world-wide. Wahhabis have infiltrated Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation (SLBC). Almost all the participants and staffers in the Muslim section of Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation are Wahabis and use the State radio to propagate Wahhabism… more than sixty Muslim Wahhabi organizations helping in propagating the movement throughout Sri Lanka. CIA introduced Wahhabism in Sri Lanka through Saudi Arabia as a means of countering the growing support for Iran and Sufism among the Sri Lankan Muslims since CIA had calculated that Wahhabism would be an effective rival theology to prevent the spread of Iranian influence in Sri Lanka.

• The Halal labelling and the regulations requiring Muslims to enter non-Muslim businesses and look through the ingredients to confirm non-halal product usage while also charging non-Muslim companies to pay a separate amount was also a means to create dissent and disunity started by Thawheed wahhabists in Sri Lanka.

• In similar incursive fashion Islamic banking has also been introduced. These are all with long term goals and takes Sri Lanka a step close to making it another Maldives divested of its Buddhist past.

Saudi Arabia created by British – Saudi faith Wahhabism is not Islam

Just like Africa was divided amongst the Anglo-Americans, the Middle East too was redrawn out of the Ottoman Empire. The chaos the West has created and the areas under ‘West’s rebels’ are exactly the same as the map they created in 1930.

• The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was created by the British in 1932. http://www.globalresearch.ca/saudi-arabia-britains-hand-in-the-making-of-a-terror-state/5519995 /

Noteworthy is that Wahhabism was created by British before the creation of modern Saudi Arabia again by the British.

Origins of Wahhabism –

British spy named Hempher was responsible for shaping of the extreme tenets of Wahhabism as part of colonial British divide & rule policy (details in Memoirs of Hempher)

http://web.archive.org/web/20040805212422/http://asmar.perso.ch/wahhabies/htm/spy1.htm )

Britain’s orders to Hempher were “O Hempher, your next mission comprises these two tasks:

1. To discover Muslims’ weak points and the points through which we can enter their bodies and disjoin their limbs. Indeed, this is the way to beat the enemy.
2. The moment you have detected these points and done what I have told you to, [in other words, when you manage to sow discord among Muslims and set them at loggerheads with one another], you will be the most successful agent and earn a medal from the Ministry.”

Wahhabi fundamentalism influencing Muslims

• Saudis fund US mosques. There are over 1850 mosques in the UK.
• Until the seventies, women here were free to wear almost whatever they wanted. Bedouin women wore bright clothes and burqas, the parting of their hair and their kohl-lined eyes left exposed. Religious fanaticism led to the black abaya and facial covering being imposed on all female government employees, and on schools and universities. Wahhabi Islam demands conformity. All people must dress similarly – thus the black dress.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/10/30/saudi-activist-manal-al-sharif-on-why-she-removed-the-veil.html

http://209.157.64.201/focus/f-chat/3011042/posts

The abhaya, niqab, burka are not Islam but new cultures induced by Wahhabi Islam. This is why this new dress not seen earlier is now being promoted through the mosques and by influencing Muslim men to force their wives and children to adopt the new dress. The Defense Secretary Karunasena Hettiarachchi recently said that the rise in burqa which was not prevalent decades ago is a significant factor in understanding the level of fundamentalism that prevails.

Wahhabis in Sri Lanka act through a movement called Thawheed. In the small eastern town of Kattankudy a land area of 2.56sq.km with a population of 47,603 has over 42 mosques.

” This has never been the case and its alarming that the authorities didnt even pay due regard to this. Muslims of Sri Lanka have been a very vibrant part of the Lankan literature and culture. Never were their people imposing their beliefs systems on other Muslims. Those days a mosque festival used to be where the Sinhalese Tamil and Muslim children came to play and enjoy while the elders were reciting in the mosque. It was actually a feast with lights and decorations but today how many do we see?’ MAM Ismail a resident of Kandy told the Colombo Telegraph.

If you take Sinhala racism, the opposition comes from the Sinhalese itself. Even if its Tamil seperatism on social media its the Tamil community who first raise the flag and then joined by either racist or moderate Sinhalese. But what is alarming is the silence of Muslims. Muslims just do not ever speak against this and its on one hand sad and on the other very alarming”, Channa Abeetha Dahanayanke a researcher on anthropology and social media trends told the Colombo Telegraph.

It is crucial to put the zigsaw puzzles together. To do that one needs to understand the connections. If people understand that the Saudi Wahhabi faith has been created to not only divide & kill Muslims but as a means to sow dissent against Muslims by non-Muslims whiles these fundamentalists are been grown and brainwashed and spread to all corners so that the West can enter as conflict-resolutionists or to fulfil the ‘war on terror’ by illegal occupation … then we would all have understood the real story. If not, we will only be realizing the West’s goal and playing into the agenda ignorantly.
