Islamist fundamentalism is posing a growing threat to universal liberal society unquestionably. This seems quite apparent also in Sri Lanka in recent times. Considering the bloody ethnic strife involving religious as well as ethnic differences initiated by the Tamil Tigers now vanquished- hopefully never to resurge, it may be fortuitous for the administrators and legislators of Sri Lanka today to keep a watchful eye on the conflicts between Muslims and Buddhists and never let them esacalate into becoming an uncontrollable issue as Sri Lanka can ill afford such a lapse given her recent history relative to the Tamil Tiger insurrection which took a heavy toll on the country, her economy and her inhabitants.<\/p>\n

Quoting from a recent world report “Islamist militancy and aggression is generating many issues plaguing the world today. In Bangladesh, for example, liberal commentators have been killed by alleged Islamic fundamentalists. In Malaysia, self-declared atheists have been bullied by militant Islamic organizations. In Indonesia, Muslim fundamentalists have seized the political initiative. ” Then there is the ISIS conflict in the Middle East which thankfully seems to be gradually being overcome by those against it and a redeeming factor for the world although resistance seems to be stubborn.\u00a0 Pockets of ISIS sympathisers tend to crop up in various parts of the world as well as the wretched Islamic militant groups such as the Taliban, Al Quaeda et al which continue to wreak havoc in various parts of the world where they are tolerated with impunity where in reality they need to be wiped out for the good of all humanity.<\/p>\n

It is imperative that immediate intervention be necessary to quell, dissuade or completely destroy any signs of\u00a0\u00a0 Muslim \/ Buddhist\u00a0 unrest and for the Muslims to realise they have no right to initiate or provoke any unrest within Sri Lanka inasmuch as the Tamil militants who in the end are in a very visible minority where the majority rules and will always prevail . A majority that is not only tolerant of all Sri Lankan citizens and aware of their inherant rights but are also conciliatory to all their needs but to tolerate them indulging in excessive aggression towards whatever they devise their cause to be seems irrelevant and even downright dangerous from many perspectives of which National Security stands out apart from the rights and comforts of all law abiding citizens.<\/p>\n

The warning signs towards this is fast becoming apparent and perhaps time appropriate for the Administration to take necessary remedial action and prevent the Nation from slipping back into the quagmire it has just extricated itself from or face the consequences.<\/p>\n
