Another Muslim owned shop “Just for you”, a shoe store has been set ablaze just a kilometre away from the leather shop that came under petrol bomb attack in Wijerama junction less than twenty four hours before. CCTV footage obtained by Colombo Telegraph shows a lone man in a bicycle throwing a petrol bomb and running away. A strategy to drive the Muslims away from this Government is in full swing.

Another Muslim owned shop “Just for you”, a shoe store has been set ablaze just a kilometre away from the leather shop that came under petrol bomb attack in Wijerama junction less than twenty four hours before. CCTV footage obtained by Colombo Telegraph shows a lone man in a bicycle throwing a petrol bomb and running away. A strategy to drive the Muslims away from this Government is in full swing. Who is the architect of this strategy?
A shop in Maharagama came under a firebomb attack at around 2:20 am on
7th of June. None of the local media has reported this incident. There
is strong suspicion that local media have been advised by the security
forces not to highlight these attacks as the European Union and other
diplomats have expressed their concern over the Government’s
indifference, inability or lack of resolve to address the growing
intolerance of minority communities by some Buddhist racist elements,
including a few from the Buddhist clergy.
The Muslims who observe fast during this sacred month of Ramadan have
been severely constrained in observing their religious rituals. The
mosques all over the country have called upon Muslims to show total
restraint as they believe that some forces are working to destabilize
the country and force a regime change through cross overs in Parliament.
The Muslim politicians have been advised by the Muslim religious and
civil leadership to ensure that they stand united in defending the
rights of Muslims to practice their religion without fear.
A Muslim youth who spoke to Colombo Telegraph on condition of anonymity
expressed his disgust at the way the Government is continuing to ignore
the numerous demands of the Muslim community to arrest the perpetrators
of these crimes.
“we need to deal with our wheeler-dealing politicians and bring back a
political culture which would ensure that our parliamentary
representatives will first and foremost fight for the rights of the
Muslims to live as equal citizens in this country while practicing our
religion. Failure may drive our youth to extremism which would be
disastrous to the country,”he further said,.
