I posted on 18 March on the role played by the Muslims in Sri Lankan War on Tamils and indicated that Sri Lanka will turn on Muslims now that Tamils are subjugated.
I did not imagine that the Day of reckoning would be so near!
The attacks have intensified after after Gotabhaya Rajapaksa,brother of Mahinda Rajapakshe, publicly associated himself with the Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) and less than a fortnight after the outfits’ Rabble-Rouser-in-Chief, Rev. Galagoda-Atte Gnanasara Thero.
I fear the worst to come.
I have posted in my blogpost(google) on the Fanaticism of The Buddhists in Myanmar.
Rev. Galagoda-Atte Gnanasara Thero. launched an uncouth diatribe against the Muslim owners of the ‘Fashion Bug’, accusing them of conspiring to turn pure Sinhala-Buddhist maidens into harem-inmates…
According to media reports, the mob-attack happened consequent to a rumour of a 15 year old Sinhala-Buddhist employee of Fashion Bug being raped, within the premises, by a Muslim fellow-employee. The connection between this wholly apocryphal rumour and Ven. Gnanasara Thero’s Kandy-diatribe against ‘Fashion Bug’ is obvious. Like the Nazis and the White Racists, the BBS is using the image of the ‘Lascivious and Predatory Muslim’ threatening Sinhala-Buddhist womanhood, and by extension Mother Lanka, in order to weld ordinary, law-abiding Sinhala-Buddhist men into a baying mob. Muslim-owned establishments are being depicted as dens of sexual iniquity; implicit and explicit images/charges of a sexual nature are being used to titillate and incite Sinhala-Buddhist men, and to provide the resultant mob with a cast-iron and time-honoured justification for hating – and attacking – any Muslim.
According to video footage, the mobs were led by monks. Reports indicate that the attackers took their time, undeterred by a heavy police/riot-police/STF presence2. The criminal-mob was not tear-gassed, baton-charged or water-cannoned by the uniformed guardians of law and order. Even when the advance guard of the mob manhandled police officers, the police forbore to react3. Why the screaming horde got the licence denied to law-abiding political demonstrators is not hard to guess. Which policeman is going to lift a finger against a saffron-mob, after Gotabhaya Rajapaksa came out of the closet and paraded his affinity with the BBS? Which policeman wants to risk a sudden punishment-transfer to nowhere?
The tactics used by the Rajapaksas and the BBS, to clear themselves of any blame for this deadly incident, are identical to the politico-propaganda ploys used during the ‘Humanitarian Operation’. The attack is being de-politicised by depicting it as an ordinary crime, caused by an ordinary girl-boy issue. The purpose is to deceive the international community and that part of the Lankan public still sane enough to be alarmed by the thought of another Black July.
The modus operandi is clear. Incite the Sinhala-Buddhists to fear and hate Muslims. Instigate/permit a few attacks on Muslim establishments. Mouth pious-platitudes about peace and harmony. Impose an unofficial censorship on the media. Use lies and half truths to explain/justify any crime which cannot be covered-up. Blame the opposition, the NGOs or international conspirators if things get out of hand.
If it’s over LTTE or The Tamils , the Sri Lankan Government would not have gone ahead and displayed its cheap and vulgar display of the decimation of the LTTE as it has done now, as if to rub salt in the wounds of The Tamils.
If a Nation destroys Terrorism , it does not display its ‘win’ by a museum.
How many Museums have been set up in The UK on IRA, Israel on PLA, Al Fatah.Italy of Red Brigade,US on The Killing of Osama Bin Laden, India on the killing of Bhindranwale, or the win over Pakistan in the creation of Bangladesh?
If you were /are assisting the Minority Tamils from The clutches of The Terrorists , is it the way you go about it?

Nor would the use of Tamil in the Museum(?) where only Sinhalese and English are displayed.
Probably you are driving even hard-core moderates into embracing Extremism.
Do you want to solve the problem of The Tamils to be solved or is it your ploy to drive them out of Sri Lanka?
If it is the latter, Sri Lanka is quite mistaken.
Sri Lanka will be reviving Tamil extremism again.
Despite some world countries protecting Sri Lanka, China and Sri Lanka for its Human Rights violations in wiping out the Tamils by genocide,the World opinion ( of the people , not necessarily Government’s) will force you to do what you dread ‘Separate Tamil Elam‘
The Museum or the vulgar show of strength would be the final nail of the coffin of a Unified Sri Lanka!
Some days back I lamented that I had been posting some serious stuff and posted some light reading material.
Now this story.
I do not know whether to take this under serious stuff or funny or reflect as to what level people can degenerate into.
At this rate. some may raise funds for men to visit a Brothel!
The aspiring Model was operated upon and the NHS paid for it as it fell within the laid down Policies!
Story:
Josie Cunningham, 22, said being a 32A, left, was ruining her life, but now she is a 36DD,right, she is happy
An aspiring glamour model had her breasts enlarged to size 36DD on the NHS, it emerged yesterday.
The surgery to 22-year-old Josie Cunningham, cost taxpayers £4,800.
She convinced doctors to operate by claiming her flat chest was ‘ruining her life’ and causing emotional distress.
But last night critics were appalled at the decision, branding it a waste of taxpayers’ cash. Under NHS guidelines, cosmetic surgery should be funded only in rare circumstances ‘to protect a person’s health’.
Miss Cunningham, who works in telesales, says her new breasts have given her the ‘confidence’ she needs to pursue her dream of topless modelling.
But health bosses were unable to say yesterday why such an enormous cleavage was necessary for Miss Cunningham’s wellbeing.
Matthew Sinclair, chief executive of the TaxPayers’ Alliance said: ‘This is an outrageous waste of NHS money and taxpayers will be appalled that they are having to foot the bill
‘People expect scarce NHS resources to be used to help people with serious medical needs, not to subsidise anyone who fancies a career as a glamour model.’
It is understood Miss Cunningham, previously a 32A, went to her GP with a ‘congenital medical condition’ which left her with no breast tissue.
She said she ‘lived in terror’ of being seen in a bikini and did not feel comfortable venturing out without a padded bra.
It is understood Miss Cunningham, previously a 32A, went to her GP with a ¿congenital medical condition¿ which left her with no breast tissue.
‘I was never depressed about my flat chest,’ Miss Cunningham admitted. ‘I just got emotional when I was explaining to my GP that I felt I couldn’t live a full life the way I was – and he agreed to refer me.
‘They gave me a top surgeon. He said he’d have to give me 36DD implants just to achieve the appearance of a 36C, because there was literally nothing there in the first place.’
The NHS usually pays for cosmetic surgery only when it is considered necessary for health reasons. For instance it will fund breast reduction if the weight of a woman’s breasts are causing her back problems.
However, the criteria for breast enhancement are decided by each local health trust, with no national guidelines available.
In Leeds, it can be granted if the woman suffers from developmental failure, or if she has had a mastectomy or lumpectomy.
It can also be granted for women with asymmetric breasts. However, it is unclear whether there is a limit on how big the implants should be.
NHS Airedale, Bradford and Leeds said it could not comment on individual cases but added: ‘We would like to clarify that cosmetic surgery is not routinely funded by the NHS.’
The decision in Miss Cunningham’s case would have been made by a panel including clinicians, it said.
Cosmetic surgery is provided by the NHS only if there is a clinical need
Cosmetic procedures are not normally done on the NHS unless doctors decide there is a clinical need.
This decision is taken at a local level, by the Primary Care Trust (PCT), on the basis of reports submitted by a patient’s doctors.
PCTs set their own criteria according to what, in their view, are the health needs of the local community.
For cosmetic surgery, the usual protocol is that the PCT must decide there is some kind of clinical, ie health, need for the operation to be funded on the NHS. Simply wanting to look nicer in itself is not reason enough.
Leeds Primary Care Trust, also known as NHS Leeds, offers a list of cosmetic procedures that may be available on its website. They include breast augmentation, breast reduction, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), and rhytidectomy (wrinkle removal including face lift).
It says these may be available ‘providing certain criteria can be met’, and lists the criteria.
The criteria required for breast augmentation include suffering from certain rare syndromes, severe asymmetry (more than two cup sizes difference), or lumpectomy that results in deformity.
Rare cases, however, such as Ms Cunningham’s, have to be go through the Individual Funding Request process, in which each case is decided upon its individual merits.
An Image resembling an Angel has been captured by NASA’s Rover.
As is normal, this is being disputed.
Andel Like Form in Mars?
Story.
Now this is a mind blowing photo from the Opportunity Rover. It shows a human-like figure that seemingly has wings. Also it’s easy to make out its legs, a toga like robe and two antenna like objects coming from the top of its head. On its left side, its wing seems to have been in motion, because there is a slight blur there from being to fast for the camera to focus. This sits well with my theory that angels on Earth were actuallyancient aliens that have evolved into light beings.
