I hope one day this mahabharta style war ends.

Looks like nations around the world are finally getting fed up with this anarchist crap. Thankfully UK has sent yet another S. Lankan Hindu separatists to jail. This Col Karuna is nothing but a petty anarchist.

Hello!

I hope the conflict comes to a peaceful end soon too.

But I thought the Tamil population in Sri Lanka consisted of a lot of Christians and Muslims too?

Isnt it a ethnic war. Tamil vs Sinhalese.

There are Muslim Tamils and Christian Tamils too.

Tamil Hindus are 80% in S Lank and yes the rest of mostly Christians and some Muslims. However S. Lankan Muslims of Tamil origins do not associate with majority Tamils from S. Lanka.

If you look at the Tamil leadership, it is mostly Hindu. So yes it is an ethnic conflict where the one ethnicity is majority Hindu and the other is majority Buddhist.

Do you have any pets?

Most of the LTTE leadership is christian.
Almost all the muslims are tamil are stuck in the middle. They are not liked by hindus and the buddhists. However, the muslims prefer to live in Hindu areas.

So Col Karuna is a Christian? Man you are the real knowledgeable person.

Hello there!

I had also heard that there were lot of Christians in the LTTE or some splinter group of rebels. That is why I was surprised that you would characterize this as a Hindu Bhuddhist conflict.

Even if no Christians are involved I have never heard of the Sri Lanka conflict referred to as anything to do with religions. It is simply a ethnic with the Tamils wanting provincial freedom.

I will be interested to read any corroborative material you may have that lead you thinking it is because of religious differences.

another of those thread to show that LTTE is a hindu terrorist organisation. Give me one propaganda article of them showing their religious leanings. Is there anybody!!!

Actually Muslims are 93% “Moors” and are distinct from Tamils. LTTE has been involved in ethnic cleansing of Muslims in some of its areas, particularly Jaffna, so there is the religious element to it.

As for those saying there is no association with the religion, please read this

Sometimes, it makes me wonder why all the neighbouring countries to india (including pakistan) suffer from internal ethnic hatred which gives rise to roits, bloodshed, grief, unrest in these countries and all of that gives rise to "DEMAND FOR PROVINCIAL FREEDOM". This hatred continues to grow more and more over the years. The activists of these 'seperate movements' in these countries or rather those exploited ones in those countries need to wake up, look around, learn a lesson and start to live in unity instead of being exploited by the negative elements/agents sent by the enemy because it only makes them weaker as a country and their enemy stronger.

Just a thought.

I have lived in Sri-Lanka in the early 1990's for 2 years. I know all the details.

The LTTE leadership is entirely Christian or "Low caste" Tamil Hindus.

The muslims of sri-lanka all claim origin from 7 arab sailors who arrived a few hunderd years ago. The arab sailors married into the Tamil population. The muslims of sri-lanka speak only Tamil and prefer to live with the tamil hindus.

In your link, it never says that LTTE is involved in recruiting people using temples. On the other hand, they uses the temples to gather funds mostly by threats and coercion. They use temple to further their cause just because many srilankans happen to come to these temples. Few of the names mentioned are christians infact.

you have burqa not only to your face for your eyes
if you read the whole article, there no word like hindu, buddhist, hindus believe Buddha as a Hindu God and we pray to him,

Re: Sri lanka - Peace may be at hand? Or there will be 1000 year Hindu-Buddhist war?

obviously they're not recruiting in canada when their war is in sri lanka. funds are collected mainly from temples however, and several temples actually have pictures of prabhakaran. Not just in Canada but in UK and South Africa too. What coercion in western democratic countries, how can it be so widespread in countries with such strong rule of law? Obviously they play on religious sympathies much the same way you find jihadi fundraising going on in some masjids.

There is a sizable christian component, it is basically a nexus of hinduism and christian beliefs.

If you read about how they rationalize the martyrdom (suicide bombing) it is a mixture of Hindu and Christian ideas along with Tamil traditions.

Pakistani women I swear

^so how does that become a hindu terrorist organisation. Which part of Hinduism do they follow, they dont even cremate their dead. As u said they have their local culture and they use all meeting places of tamils to gather money. Ofcourse many Srilankan tamil would support them, because all these people who are in these western countries have been there as refugees to escape from the fighting and have sympathy for tamil tigers. Are they fighting to establish a hindu land. Do they have problem with Budhist culture. Its an ethenic issue and it had to be dealt like that.

Re: Sri lanka - Peace may be at hand? Or there will be 1000 year Hindu-Buddhist war?

here is their logic very simple
when Sindhi hate Muhajirs and Punjabis, it is ethnic conflict, because both have same religions
when Srilankan Tamil fights with Sinhalese then it is Hindu - Buddihist conflict

i’m a hindu, i regularly visit Buddhist temple when i was in tokyo
and vice versa with Buddhist
and for all your guys Buddha is the incarnation of Lord Vishnu,Avatar - Wikipedia
so both religions are almost same, and most of Buddhist temples in India are Managed by Hindus

even if you say crore crore times they don’t listen your words
for us it is ethnic conflict and for them its religious conflict, so no worry

BTW, Not all Hindus Cremate the dead body
in south india, we do both either cremate or burry

Re: Sri lanka - Peace may be at hand? Or there will be 1000 year Hindu-Buddhist war?

I think, un married people are burried and married people are cremated.

18

Re: Sri lanka - Peace may be at hand? Or there will be 1000 year Hindu-Buddhist war?

what if a person is divorced? which category he will belong to?

19

Re: Sri lanka - Peace may be at hand? Or there will be 1000 year Hindu-Buddhist war?

the actual thing is the young people are burried and married are cremated
, in south India (Only Tamilnadu, and south Andhra and Karnataka) they burry even the married people also, like my father and my grand mother both are burried not cremated

Chintu
divorce people come under married ones

This is may be true in India. Ask Tamilian hindus in S. Lanka to go pray in Buddhist temples, and the situation may be different.

Remember this article is about S. Lanka and not India.

p.s. There has been a blowback of Tamilian anarchy in India. Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated by Tamilian suicide bomber.
