Buddhists target Sri Lanka's Muslims

You can say that again..Seriously the country is still recovering from the age long civil war that wreck havoc on many of our lives, and scarred us all in some way or the other.

Let's hope and pray the power-hungry,warmongering crazies, extremists and haters don't win any rounds this time!

A group of them, fueled and funded by some corrupt politicians and other nefarious individuals, have indeed strayed away from their religions teachings and are trying their utter best to create interracial and interfaith conflicts. The Halal issue is only one of their strategies that thankfully seems have failed.

So far only ones to take the bait appears to be extremists and ignorant folks from both sides. Thankfully plenty of Lankans, from all faiths and races, are not only condemning their actions but going all out to ensure their attempts fail!

The words speak for themselves. "We, them, us". Is this the true thinking within this religion? I can't see it being so. I'm just going to throw it out there, are they really true Buddhists? Or has one or two strayed from the flock and made an issue out of a non-issue?

Wasn't this issue of Halal meat sorted out a week before?? I do remember reading that news.

Before a certification is issues, various methods are used to ensure the samples / products are as per stipulated standard, in this case halal items are utilized. So to perform these checks one needs resources and experts specialized in it. Do you think these come for free? Do they not have to charger the vendors a nominal fee to cover cost? A little bit of rational thinking would help.

It's a conflict between a few Buddhist extremists & a few Muslim extremists . It appears some other parties are behind all these and they are striving to destroy the peace and unity among Muslims & Buddhists.

They are hanging little child and cutting muslims like cattles.

societies get destablise when Mutual Respect disappears.Muslims have full right to live their life according to their religious beliefs as Budhists have their own way.

The funny part in the picture is that it is all about the money

And we acuse the west for being materialistic

So just eat and drink ... Dont pray , and julia roberts go to h* ll :P

yr right one shot those who follow budhism they wud never even try to kill plants or animals but nowadays fake budhist kill innocents people for sake of money and power

I heard that the government is really frustrating muslims there

1- banning hijab or cover for the head for women

2- preventing the athan ( call for prayer)

3- preventing the halal meat

I think it is like if i slap u then u got silent then u got slapped and kept ur mouth shot then u got slapped and u punched back i ll say

AAAAhhh see people he is attacking me

F** u terrorist

Then beat the crap our of him

I thought budhism is very "peaceful religion"

Whenever they have a problem they medidate

Hhh in this case they are closing their eyes imagining how to hang kids of these terrorists

but surprised ur compel to eat halal meat in qatar even though u wud prefer haraam food better to final exit from qatar to srilanka

correct they r nonsense like out thesurprised looking for attention

Buddhists are Vegetarian. How come that Halah or no halal label create problem to them. Their demand make no sense to me.

the Buddhist don't want to pay the extra money to produce halal meat. did they tell u personally

If one actually reads a little, the issue is being blown out of proportion.

All that is happening is that the halal label will be removed from the products sold in the country.

a compromise and win / win for both

Huh. Hardline Buddhists. Well I never.

Strange.. Buddhism gets different face in these days.
