Mad monk Gnanassara on the rampage again : attacks mosques in Kurunegala and Matugama !
(Lanka-e-News 25.May.2017, 10.20AM) Extremist mad monk Gnanassara the
robed dipsomaniac and his supporters who after visiting Kurunegala
incited racial and religious hatred among the people attacked a mosque
at Mallawapitiya with petrol bombs . This incident occurred on 20 th
night.
The mosque where religious classes are conducted was damaged. However so far no arrests have been made.
It is being said , when mad monk Gnanassara was in Kurunegala provoking
the people to engage in religious violence , the police went to arrest
him. The media that is pro Gnanassara however revealed , neither the
law and order minister nor minister of justice were aware of the arrest
of Gnanassara. To arrest a criminal , there is no necessity anywhere
under the law that ministers should be informed prior or later , even
if it is to arrest a fanatic or a lunatic who has escaped from the
mental asylum, let alone a robed eccentric. If any minister entertains
such a notion he /she should be admitted first to the lunatic asylum
for treatment .
Meanwhile 20th night again , an attempt was made to set fire to a shop
of a Muslim businessman at Matugama . The front iron door of the shop
was damaged in that violence.
It is well to recall these robed extremist monks during the corrupt Rajapakse era even contested elections . But to their utter consternation they could poll less than a thousand votes only. These monks who are failures in their own faith and religion (Buddha never preached violence or religious extremism ) , and rejected even by the people again seeking to unleash violence clearly stems from their mental imbalance and frustration. It is therefore little wonder their cravings are anti Buddhism and based on selfish self seeking ambitions.

It is the consensus it is to gratify the blood and power lust of
Rajapakses these extremist monks are on the rampage. It is
unforgettable the Rajapakses even when they were ruling survived on
killings , plundering the country, and fomenting religious and racial
hatred .
During the last few weeks , mosques in Panadura, Kohilawatte and Thopur were attacked and damaged.
The government must realize what can be nipped in the bud being allowed
to reach alarming proportions is not in the best interests of the nation
. Whether it is a Buddhist extremist , Muslim extremist or a Christian
extremist , none can be permitted to commit crimes , worst of all
under the name of religion . No religion preaches or advocates violence ,
murder or mayhem . These rascals whether they are committing those
crimes wearing the robes or without should be duly punished . Or if
they are mentally deranged they should be admitted to the mental asylum
, and treated even if it takes many years to cure them. Otherwise , the
civilized law abiding citizens will have no solution .
