Dawatagaha mosque trustee must demand EU & Non-EU envoys to stop harassing & attacking Muslims in their countries

EU and non EU-envoys gathered at Dawatagaha mosque to humiliate and ridicule the Sinhala Buddhists in Sri Lanka. It was a melodrama by these envoys playing politics in internal affairs flouting diplomatic protocol. Be that as it may, these busy body envoys should spend a little more time looking at what is going on in their countries before trying to become wannabe politicians. If the Dawatagaha mosque that entertained these envoys are concerned about the plight of Muslims and were not playing politics themselves, these Trustees must now pay a visit to the embassies of these envoys and officially log a complaint against the large scale of attacks against Muslims taking place in their countries! These attacks are far more dangerous than the unsubstantiated attacks being claimed in Sri Lanka. Please note that the claims of attacks on religious places has been nullified by Cardinal Malcolm himself!
In UK following the London Bridge attacks there has been at least 54 reported attacks per day. There have been 141 hate crimes since Manchester attack in May.
There were 800 attacks against refugees in Germany alone. In 2016, 91 mosques had been attacked in Germany. In 2016, there had been 400 anti-Muslim hate crimes.
FBI reports hate crimes against Muslims surged by 67% in 2015 – 5,850 incidents in the US.
The Muslims in Sri Lanka must be thankful that they are not undergoing what fellow Muslims are undergoing in EU and non-EU countries.
However, we would like to caution the Muslims in Sri Lanka in particular political leaders and their stooges that riding on the hides of these foreign envoys (who are nothing but opportunistic political players) to use political pressure against Sri Lanka and win for themselves unfair demands and authenticate illegal incursions is very wrong and not done and politically detrimental to the national security of Sri Lanka.
Please understand it is trained jihadists that are being transported all over the world claiming to be ‘immigrants’ and ‘refugees’ who are starting all the trouble that begins conflicts that only result in death and mayhem to innocent people.
Muslims must themselves introspect and ask themselves why the whole world is virtually going against them. They cannot deny this either. It is now openly visible. There is no difference in Muslims living in the West or East. Are the issues against Muslims common across the world? Is there a valid basis to these allegations? If so what have the Muslims to say in response? Muslims cannot continue to say ‘we are the victims’ without taking some accountability. Muslims too have some questions to ask themselves and many of the answers are found in their actions, inactions and delayed actions.
As for the EU & Non-EU envoys they may have to chew their own words – ensure no immunity for hate-crimes” these envoys told Sri Lanka and all we can say is look at your own backyards first! http://www.dailymirror.lk/article/Ensure-no-impunity-for-hate-crimes-EU-130055.html
Moreover, these countries in particular the UK that has been quick to slap travel advisories against Sri Lanka should be slapped a travel advisory themselves. Not only is the UK unsafe for Muslims it is unsafe for all tourists travelling to UK too and probably the same situation applies to all EU nations as well.

Shenali,
Please read NeelaMahaYoda’s comment on Muslim takeover of the UK on the article “Aney Sisira, apita himi dey denna.”!
I am not sure who needs more help, the Brits or the Muslim quickly transforming the UK into a Sharia Law Muslim state.
Nevertheless, your point is well taken; the Sinhala majority of Sri Lanka and the native Britis majority of the UK CLEARLY ARE IN THE SAME jihadist SOUP!

Shenali did you see the Islamic State Caliphate plan. They had painted India and Sri Lanka as black meaning they intend to incorporate India and Sri Lanka as part of their caliphate. What this means is at some point in the future Islamic State terrorists will attack Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka has to get ready for the coming onslaught from these thugs, at some point in the future it will happen. Sri Lanka until now unlike India has managed to escape attacks from the religion of peace but it would be wise to be vigilant against this threat to Sri Lanka.
Sri Lankans must demand from the muslim community any intelligence on any extremists in their midst especially in the eastern province region.
Muslim Community has had very good relations with Sinhalese Buddhists in the past decades, hopefully this will continue with the Muslim Community helping to expose any extremists in their midst who could be a possible threat to Sri Lankans who have already dealt with one terrorist threat.
I don’t think the LTTE will ever come back again. They were destroyed permanently in May 2009.
However I believe a credible threat from IS terrorists could exist in the future to Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka must continue to remain vigilant against this menace.

I also agree with Shenali, that UK and rest of Europe are unsafe to visit for tourists. Yes UK likes to slap a travel ban on Sri lanka. It really should be the other way around. Sri Lanka is a far safer place than UK and Europe right now. I agree 100 percent with Shenali.
Maybe Ananda-USA could shed more light on this because he lives in the US. I think the US these days is far more safer to visit for tourists than UK and Europe who would have thought. United States now far more safer place than UK and Europe these days. I think tourists will visit US now more often as they avoid more and more UK and Europe. Normally very popular tourists destinations in the past decades for the world’s tourists during the the northern hemisphere summer months.
