BBS fresco on ISIS in Sri Lanka
Monks have got a great respect among all Sri Lankan communities. We all respect them and the majority of monks are very good people. They do not like to harm anyone even an insect. Yet, there are some monks who make trouble for peace and harmony. Gnanasara thero as a monk may be a good man and yet, he has been used by some politicians to make some gains. BBS has been manipulating and twisting news reports.
( July 31, 2015, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) It is not
a secret Bodu Bala Sena ( BBS) is trying to cashing in from BBS fresco
in Sri Lanka. Recent revelation of Muslim man being killed in Syria is
an excuse for BBS to preach its false lies about Muslims in Sri Lanka.
BSS is always trying to find faults in Muslim community without any
logical and rational reason. Today, religious preaching of BBS is mixed
up with its political agendas. Political bankruptcy of BBS is exposed
once again. It is now claiming that ISIS has threated its members with
death. It claims that some death threating phone calls came from
Afghanistan. Let BBS now release the phone numbers of people who
called them from Afghanistan. Why cannot they find them out from Sri
Lankan telecommunication to make sure from where it came from? BBS is
trying to con entire Sri Lankan people. They are trying to con Sri
Lankan politicians, bureaucratic, police officers, Intelligences
services and all other professionals. Each and every isolated incident
takes place in any part of Muslim world, BBS is trying is get some
political gains from it. This is complete garbage and full lies. They
accuses Muslim community of anything and everything. There is no
credibility in what they say and they claim. BBS is in a lost and people
no longer like to listen to them. They are really trouble makers in Sri
Lanka today.
CEO of BBS Dr. Dilantha Withanage said “they were threatened with death
over the phone several times and some of them were from Afghanistan”.
What a makeup is this? If this is true that they should take it up with
Sri Lankan and Afghanistan governments so that they could verify who
made these calls rather than making a big fuss about it.
If a trouble maker brings you news, check it first in case, you wrong
others unwittingly and later regret what you have done (49:6). How many
times, BBS has made this mistakes. Reporting and spreading wrong News
without any proper check and clarification. Why do they do this? It
means they do not have any moral standard in life. They do not follow
teaching of Buddha rather they are making up with their own desires and
inclination.
BBS is morally bankrupt political party and its philosophy is to
divide and rule. Its mission is to spread hated among communities in Sri
Lanka. It knows well that it cannot get grassroots support from
Sinhalese community. Sinhalese people rejected. People know well its
venomous agenda and its dirty tricks. BBS knows well that people no
longer support them. It was in hype of Gota’s time that BBS got its
political influence and support. Now, MR and co are in back seats. BBS
does not have any support. They do try to get support from public but
people do not care about them now at all.
All what it does now is making some media hype to get public attention.
Yet, now public cannot be fooled as before. People know the truth from
falsehood now. This Gnanasara Thero has brought shame to Buddhism as
ISIS does to Islam. There is no difference in these two groups in
ideology, principle and mission. Al-Qaeda, Taliban, IS, ISIS and BBS all
are in one mission. All are identical groups. They all use religion to
spread hatred, they all epitomise racism, discrimination, hatred, hate
mongering, and aggression, they all make trouble for humanity. They all
hate peace, harmony and communal amity. These groups are enemies of
humanity.
Monks have got a great respect among all Sri Lankan communities. We all
respect them and the majority of monks are very good people. They do not
like to harm anyone even an insect. Yet, there are some monks who make
trouble for peace and harmony. Gnanasara thero as a monk may be a good
man and yet, he has been used by some politicians to make some gains.
BBS has been manipulating and twisting news reports.
The entire world knows that it has been ransacking and burning down
Muslim shops, mosques and shrine. Indeed, BBS thugs killed three people
in down south in Sri Lanka. And yet, it is has been shamelessly blaming
Muslims people. It has been twisting facts about Muslim people. It has
been blaming Muslims for all what happened. Yet, it is very much clear
for any discerning people that BBS is fabricating stories and telling
lies against innocent Muslims in Sri Lanka. It has been trying to incite
and provoke Muslim people so that it can get some justification to do
more harm on false pretexts. It Muslim community today did not behave in
any reactionary manners as any other groups rather Muslim community has
been maintaining patience and tolerance. Muslims have indeed, left all
these aggressions and atrocities in the hands of God. No one can protect
Muslims in this condition except God. This BBS aggression elevated
Muslim faith in God. BBS indeed, has done a great job in this sense.
Today, BBS is not accepted among their own people. It has been rejected
by 90% of Singhalese people. It will meet its sudden death. Indeed, it
has already met its waterloo with the last presidential election defeat.
In Sri Lanka there will be no more racial hatred, bias and
discrimination. People of all religions, faiths and culture will
prosper. That is the foundation of this nation. To welcome and
accommodate all faiths and all groups. Sri Lankan history testifies this
in details. Read history and know the truth. Sinhalese kings and monks
never and ever harm any other religions in this soil. History tell us
Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam were protected by Sinhalese kings and
Buddhist monks. There are so many historical accounts to support this
argument. We do not need to recall them here.
Today, Sri Lanka needs cooperation of all communities to build this
nation. It is reported that Sri Lankan economy is facing huge challenges
these days. Mismanagement, unsustainable mega projects, frauds and
corruptions of the previous government placed Sri Lankan economy in a
very much precarious situation. To overcome all these, Sri Lankan people
must be united and cooperate each other. Rather than making any
communal division. Today, a communal unity among Sri Lankan people is a
must. BBS is a great threat for this unity and it is working against
national interest in this sense.
No one tries to harm Buddhism in Sri Lanka. It is BBS that harms
Buddhism today in Sri Lanka. It is BBS who make trouble in Sri Lanka
just in the name of Buddhism. It uses religion make all these troubles.
May God protect this great nation?
