Sri Lankan Buddhist Monks Want to Demolish Muslim Community Building in Colombo

Posted on 26 May 2012 by Emperor

Is this going to be Dambulla 2.0? (h/t: msmrishan)

Any opportunity that the anti-Muslim blogs get, they attempt to castigate Islam as a whole for the actions of a minority of fundamentalists. Can you imagine them even calling out these Monks actions and tying it to Buddhism?

What if they were Muslim?

Buddhist Monks Want To Demolish A Muslim Community Building In Colombo

by Colombia Telegraph

Buddhist monks took to the streets yesterday again demanding the demolition of yet another Muslim community building in Colombo, claiming it was illegal, Ceylon Today reports. Meanwhile Divaina newspaper claims that the building is a illegal cattle-killing place belong to Islam fundamentalists.

Over 250 protestors led by Buddhist monks staged a demonstration yesterday in front of Galvihara Road, Dehiwala, calling for the demolition of the Madarasa ‘Darul- Qur’an lil Baranil Iman. The protestors charged it is an illegal construction and a place where goats are scarified.

One of the monks leading the protest claimed the Madarasa should be demolished as the Muslims had constructed it illegally; a claim many Muslims in the area are disputing.

In response to this a member of the trustee board, Hizni Mohamed said the Madarasa named has been situated here for over 13 years. “It is a place mainly to teach and educate the children on religion and the Qur’an,” he said.

He said the monks’ claim that the Muslims were rearing goats and sacrificing them within the premises of the Madarasa, but nothing of that sort happened. “It is not an illegal construction. We have accurate deeds and the building has been there for so many years,” he said.

According to the Western Province UNP PC member Mujibur Rahman, this Madarasa has been frequented by the Muslims for 13 years and this problem of demolishing has begun all of a sudden. “Nothing illegal or unlawful is happening,” he confirmed.

When Ceylon Today contacted the Mayor of Dehiwala-Mount Lavinia, Municipal Council Dhanasiri Amaratunge said that a group of monks had complained to him regarding an illegal construction.

“I sent a team to inspect the area and we have found that the Madarasa is an illegal construction and we have summoned them to court on Monday. Even before the legal aspect could be done the villagers and the monks have begun a protest,” he said.

Okay than why was the percentage of terrorist attacks in the United States committed by Muslims according to a 2010 study so low?

All Terrorists are Muslims…Except the 94% that Aren’t

Also why was the percentage of terrorists who were Muslims in Europe even lower than in the United States according to another study that same year, despite the fact that Muslims are much greater percentage of the population there?

Had the building gone against islam, muslims would have simply blown it up themselves.

We all know that, dont make yourself dumber.

Khalid, Fanaticism is also forbidden in Jainism as well. Jainism is the most non-violent religion at there.

Does Taoism forbids fanaticism?

@ Black infidel

You are right, the Ultra orthodox “Haredi” Jews’ population doubles, each ten years their population doubles.

If we were amongst the looniverse we could say things like ” The Jooze are taking over the world”.

We should push this stupidity on the loons to see how “anti-semitic” we would be and how Islamophobic they are.
Khalid

Fanatacism is forbidden in the Buddhist and Bahá’í faiths, meaning one can not become virulent or obsessive in one aspect of life like work, marital life AND religion.

Just like the Hindu’s in Gujarat and the Muslim fanatics these people are having a self-identification crisis; when another is supposedly trampling all over you which backs you up into a corner and forces you into violence.

To sum up – these aren’t even real Buddhists.

@mindy1: The supposed peaceful ones are the Jains, not Buddhist.

This can go under the “What If They Were Muslim” category:

Call them out on it? Many come to mind who would openly endorse this, assuming they haven’t already. I wouldn’t be surprised if Spencer, et-al, came out cheered them on. The shear fact that these are non Muslims demanding that Muslims bow to their whom would make it something that a lot of them would openly support. Lets not also forget how Islamophobes see Madarasas.

I think Europe should stop immigration from Buddhist countries now.

There is also a typo, you misspelled “sacrifice” in the first paragraph.:)
