It is rather hilarious reading the hogwash of a Muslim commentator blaming Buddhists for extremism and violence. It is a sure but lame tactic to deflect attention from what happens around the world on a daily basis. Syria, Yemen, France, Kashmir and other places that dominate world news are all about Islamic violence. Sri Lanka is no exception. Over 32 well educated and rich Sri Lankan Muslims have joined ISIS. Trying to shoot the messenger dead will not save Muslims. They must do some soul searching and fix their religion and community before the whole world comes down on them like a ton of bricks and corner them into isolation \u2013 if it hasn\u2019t happened yet.<\/p>\n

Global Terrorism Index Ranks Muslim Countries in 8 Out of the 10 Worst<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Muslim countries (Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Egypt and Libya) dominate the 10 worst terrorism affected countries in Global Terrorism Index of 2015 (latest published in 2016). Islamic groups are responsible for the other 2 of the worst 10 (Nigeria and India). This means world\u2019s 10 worst terrorism infected countries are infested by Islamic terrorism.<\/p>\n

It is obvious the common denominator of terrorism is Islam.<\/p>\n

Hindu majority India is in an unenviable 8th<\/sup> place solely due to Islamic terrorism.<\/p>\n

Christian majority Nigeria ranks 4th<\/sup> thanks solely due to Islamic Boko Haram group. Buddhist countries (Singapore and Vietnam) are some of the most peaceful.<\/p>\n

Perusing the other parts of the Global Terrorism Index clearly proves that Islam cannot divorce itself from terrorism.<\/p>\n

This culprit has been same in all Global terrorism Indices since 2014.<\/p>\n

19 Out of 20 Worst Terrorist Acts By Islam Driven Terrorists<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Global Terrorism Index provides those responsible for the 20 worst acts of terrorism around the world. Except one (Dontesk People\u2019s \u00a0Republic), all other 19 groups are driven by Islam.<\/p>\n

These include Islamic State (Caliphate), Boko Haram, Taliban, Ansar Al-Din, Al-Shabaab, Fulani, Houthi and Aqaba Tharaa). All these are Quranic concepts!<\/p>\n

Further evidence can be found in The Religion of Peace website that is updated daily. Unfortunately, not a day passes by without killings attributed to Islam driven terrorists.<\/p>\n

Given these facts it is hilarious Buddhists are blamed by some Sri Lankan Muslims. Is it a concerted plan to deflect attention from brewing terrorism around the world and cancerous spread of elite Muslims in Sri Lanka joining ISIS? Sri Lanka\u2019s preoccupation with Tamil terrorists created a vacuum for Islamic terrorism to rise under the radar.<\/p>\n

Salman Rushdie (himself a Muslim) was prophetic when he predicted this decades ago.<\/p>\n

The Sri Lankan Muslim community and the global Muslim community have a lot to answer for. It is time they stopped blaming others are admit to terrorism and take concrete action to stop this madness. Otherwise the civilized world will gang up on them to save humanity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
