Are the Tamils Terrorists?

Even Prabhakaran cannot be labelled as terrorist.
Tribute to the LTTE and Tamil People

(MELBOURNE) - In the Tube below the NPC Chief Minister Hon. Wigneswaren
stated categorically that it is wrong for the Sinhalese to look upon the
Tamils as terrorists. With the US 'War on Terror' SL found it
convenient to brand the Tamils as terrorist to get the Western and
Indian support to fight the Tigers and win the war. Rajapaksa still
believes he can wave the magic wand and get away with murder. Please
view the tube on what the Chief Minister had to say and read what he
said.
Even Prabhakaran cannot be labelled as terrorist. At no point of time he
attacked any targets other than what belonged to the Sinhalese. There
would have been no Prabhakaran had the Sinhalese honoured the agreements
signed with the Colonial Britain and the Tamils. Failure to honour
these agreements led to the peaceful resistance and demonstrations. When
these demonstrations were crushed with brutal force by thugs and
police, and the series of riots that led to thousands of deaths, the
youths decided to take up arms against the terrorist state 30 year
later. That led to the ethnic problem in Sri Lanka that ended with the
Mullivaaykkal Genocide in May 2009 and is still carrying on to this
date.
The Sinhalese leaders had, long before the date of Independence in
February 1948, drawn a road map to colonise the whole of Sri Lanka and
turn it into a Sinhala- Buddhist state. In the very year of independence
in 1948 they disfranchised the Indian Tamils and declared them
stateless. These Tamils had sacrificed their lives in the malaria
infested jungles to clear it and start the plantation industries. In the
whole process thousands of them died. Today they are living in squalor.
Next they went for the Sri Lankan Tamils, that led to the present
conflict. Even when that conflict is not over yet, the Sinhalese
Buddhist have begun attacking the Muslims, their properties and their
mosques. The Muslims are right now facing the music the other
communities faced earlier. When they are totally marginalised the island
becomes a fully Sinhala-Buddhist country.
Western powers, who were responsible to bring the Tamils to their
present plight are now trying to separate the Tamils from the
terrorists. Although the PPT had declared their connivance in the
genocide, they still insists that they fought the terrorists, the LTTE.
In the tube below the UK ambassador, John Ruskins states that the Tamils
will not go back to the days of the LTTE. He fails to realise the
Tamils look upon the Tigers as their protectors and the Sinhalese as
their oppressors.
