The\nmotives of the fasting unto death started by Rathana Thero are confusing. Has\nhe got the backing of Catholic Church?  He is a Buddhist Monk. \nMuslim terrorists attacked Catholic Churches.  Cardinal Malcolm Cooray\nappropriately provided an effective leadership at that critical moment\npreventing escalation of  revenge attacks.  Malwatte and Asgiriya\nwere in hibernation as usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\nthis situation, one would expect Catholic Priests to commence a fasting unto\ndeath demanding removal of Muslim Extremists Ministers, who have secretly\nconverted Sri Lankan Buddhist society to a Muslim Power House<\/strong>.  Sri\nLankan Muslims with mere 9.7%  population has more rights and privileges\nthan Indonesian Muslims with 87%.  As a person who lived in Indonesia for\nover 15 years and a frequent visitor, the writer can testify  that the\nnonsensical Muslim habits in Sri Lanka cannot be found in\nIndonesia.   Muslim women  are quite happy to show their beautiful<\/strong>\nfaces in public. Indonesian  Muslims frequently mix with other religious\npartners. Indonesian Muslims enjoy a balanced social life.  They enjoy\ntheir best Beer, Bir Bintang. They even enjoy Satay Chicken and Satay Pork<\/strong>.\nPork is available in all parts of Indonesia in Super Markets as well as at\nTraditional markets called PASAR, mostly serving low middle and low income\ngroups. In Sri Lanka, down south, after you pass Wadduwa, you cannot find\nPork.  To take the fight upto Muslim Political Leaders, Sinhala traders\nmust start selling Pork in all parts of Sri Lanka.<\/strong> When I made enquiries\nwith Weligama Pradeeshiya Saba Chairman, he said that there are no laws\npreventing issue of licences for Pork Stalls, but fear Muslim Business \nprotests.  90% of Weligama, Galbokka and nearby areas businesses are\nMuslim owned.   Opening Pork Stalls by Sinhala  is a small\nTRICK, but will be a sound business proposition providing best desired results\nand  an additional income base plus a solution for unemployed youths\nespecially in down south where foreigners frequestly visit.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indonesian\nMuslims  are religious, but the Indonesian society is not a MUSLIM MAD\nHOUSE.  Indonesia had 68% Buddhists, Borobudur Temple is a living\ntestimony.  Today Buddhists are 2.5% in Indonesia.   Muslim\npolitical leaders in Sri Lanka had virtually destroyed Sri Lankan Buddhist\nsociety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nMuslim Ministers, apart from accumulating wealth, infrastructure framework has\nbeen done over the years for a Muslim State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\nwas Gnanasara Thero who exploded loud and clear of the dangers.  His\naggressive vocabulary and some of the past personal behaviours eroded his\nreputation, resulting less attention paid to his claim.   But the\nfacts and figures provided by Gnanasara Thero had now been substantiated after\na massive loss of human lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\nhas always been Buddhist Monks, taking leadership in national interest.  I\nquestion myself why Catholic Priests are not joining the protest of the Rathana\nThero?  Prime Minister Ranil Wickremasinghe will not care for Buddhist\nMonks, he is happy  if they die or  put them behind bars, but if\nCatholic Priests also join the protest, then Ranil as a born Catholic will feel\nthe pressure to initiate action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During\n30 year Tamil Terrorists War against Sri Lankan Sinhala Buddhists, Sri Lanka\nlost thousands of Sinhala Buddhists, including Buddhist Priests, Army, Navy,\nPolice personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now\nthey are fighting against the attack on Catholic Churches by Muslims.  Are\nCatholic Priests also hibernating like our Malwatte-Asgiriya Prelates?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
