Raving mad BBS monks and junks destroy church building carvings and historic moonstone
(Lanka-e-News-23.June.2013,
4.30PM) The Bodhu Bala Sena (BBS) , a paramilitary extremist terror
group of the Rajapakse regime, has in its latest maniacal violence in
the series of attacks on people and places of worship of other religions
, had begun attacking catholic churches. The BBS claiming that the
various sculpted figures in the churches are belonging to Buddhism ,
have broken into the catholic churches , and destroyed them.
The first of these BBS terror attacks had been begun on the 20th at the Kalutara , Maggona , Laggala Kumara Kanda church, according to reports. After claiming that a moonstone in a semi circle in the front side of the door belongs only to the Buddhists had removed it forcibly and taken to a Buddhist temple close by. As it has become a common practice in Sri Lanka under a regime which enthrones lawlessness , so these religious extremists had been permitted to do whatever they want in their maniacal and fanatical obsession , and nothing has been done to prevent their lawless criminal actions.
The second round of violence in close succession was unleashed on the 21 st on the Kalutara , Katukurunda St. Philipneris church. As far back as 1965 , Rev. Henry Rodrigo , a catholic father built this church with a view to retain its Sri Lankan identity. He therefore had on its door a ‘punkalas’ pot carving , and carvings on the walls .
In addition a number of carvings including the semi circle moonstone adorned the entrance to the church.
The BBS religious maniacs who broke into the church on the 21 st had attempted to destroy them alleging that those sculptures belong to Buddhists , and churches are not entitled to have them.
With the tolling of the church bell , the residents of the area had begun thronging the church when a dispute had erupted between the BBS trouble makers who are looking for trouble like the vultures looking for their prey, and the other group. The police who arrived on the scene had managed to avert a clash. However not a single BBS goon or a gun toting priest had been arrested. Police security has now been detailed around the church.
Since of late , the organized violence and hooliganism of the Buddhist extremist groups enjoying patronage of the Rajapakse regime are burgeoning across the country . We have already reported in so many articles , how the police force higher ups who ought to be enforcing the law have instead taken the law into their hands and committed abductions , murders and extortions outrageously and with impunity taking advantage of the anarchy in the country under a despotic regime .
Throughout history it had been proved that whoever stoked and safeguarded extremism and fanaticism under whatever pretext had finally met their waterloo at the hands of the very Frankenstein monster they created. This is an unassailable and indestructible truth .
The most unfortunate part of this Frankenstein drama is , before these creators of these monsters are destroyed by their creation , it is the innocent civilians and law abiding citizens who suffer and die in the interim. It is therefore hoped that before the Frankenstein monster and its creator can unleash more violence and untold sufferings on the country where Lord Buddha preached peace and harmony , these so called self seeking opportunistic cardboard Buddhist heroes who are practicing violence instead of peace and stoking disharmony instead of harmony are annihilated for the greater good of all and specially the true Buddhists.
