Angry Expats Say They Will Arm Moslems

Los Angeles - Sri Lankan Moslems in several US states reacting to last
week's brutal massacre of Moslems in Sri Lanka by Tamil terrorists said
that they were exploring avenues to obtain arms for their compatriots
from foreign sources.
        "It is clear that the Sri Lankan government has failed
miserably in protecting both the Moslems and the Sinhalese.
Therefore, we have no alternative but to seek help from any Moslem
country or foreign organization willing to help us," said Omar Farook
of San Diego, CA.
        He said steps were being taken to unite Sri Lankan Moslem
organizations in the US and Canada with those in the Middle East for
the purpose of obtaining such aid.
        "We refuse to stand by idly while our people  are being
slaughtered," he added.
        While there are  only an estimated 500 Sri Lankan Moslems in
the US, there are thousands of Moslems in the US.
        Asked if they would call for a "Jihad" on the Tamil
separatists, several of the Moslems who spoke to the Express said that
they would not hesitate to call it a Jihad.
        The Tamil terrorists have declared war on us just because of
our religion. They don't want any Muslims living in the Eastern
province. We have no alternative but to call "Jihad" or holy war, you
can call it that. But we will fight back," one man said.
        Mohamed Ashraff, leader of the Moslem Congress, a political
party in Sri Lanka, recently asked the government to recruit a Moslem
battalion in the army. The proposal has been turned down.

I completely agree with Akila Weerapana on what was said about
Ranjith Suresh's "2067bh@gmuvax psycho" posting. Who does this guy
Ranjith Suresh think he is anyway? He's the cause of the most of
unnecessary arguments on soc.culture.sri-lanka. If he supports the
idea of separating our own motherland, and if he thinks mass killing
is so cool, why does he even bother to mess with soc.culture.sri-lanka?
Why doesn't he from his own soc.culture.eelam for a change?

Do not worry I can't think of any better way to respond to somebody as
obviously sick and deluded as this "person" obviously. I am only glad
that this 'person' is in the US 'cause even though 90% of what should
be rational discussion on soc.culture.sri-lanka is taken up by his
hysterics, at least that means there is one less psychopath at home.
Still it is frustrating that there is such little activity outside of
this guy so I guess we all have to blame ourselves for letting him ne

It seems to me that the original poster used "you" in it's plural sense.

Similarly imagine how the Tamils would feel if they are asked to trust
the other 
side when it's ingaged in every possible means of aggression against them.
Because of the horrific reality of the war, for many Tamils who are
constantly under fire (aerial and naval bombardment in residential
areas, tortures, disappearances, forcible starvation(Jaffna Peninsula)),
the issue is no longer 'settlement' but when will 'liberation' come?
They no longer see any correlation
between them and the government other that of an aggressor in the
war(from the SInhalase side). This is what 7 yrs of armed agression can
do to anyone's psychology. The level of distruction is such that in
terms of lost lives, destroyed infrastructue, homes and businesses even
Iraq fared better in the Gulf War. Atleast this much is very true.
Unfortunately, many Sinhalase fail to see
or understand the heavy toll of human suffering the SL armed forces has
inflicted and still doing so in northeast Sri Lanka. 'Factual'
journalism can
do some justice in this area. Or, going by the efficiency at which the
government 'takes care' of any sign of dissent among the Sinhalase, they
are simly voiceless.

Only one problem here.  It glorifies the SL armed forces. Now, clearly, even 
most Sinhalase would laugh at that one. I never glorify LTTE's activities.
If you think glorification of SL armed forces is good for the country, then
please leave the Tamils out of this 'country.'

Tamil Women Joined in Orgy of Killing
(by Daya Gamage)

Polonnaruwa - Eyewitness said a number of Tamil women were among the
attackers who went on the rampage in four villages in north-central
Sri Lanka last week, shooting and hacking to death over 180 people,
including 35 children.
        Eyewitness said they saw the LTTE guerrillas dressed in the
military uniform chasing their victims across the paddy fields and
cutting them down with knives.
        "One Tamil women in uniform chased and caught a little boy and
then hacked him to death," 30 year old Mohamed Ishak said.
        The Tamil attacks on a cluster of four pre-dominantly Moslem
villages on the Western bank of the Mahaveli in the Polonnaruwa
district started around 4.00am and continued for over two hours
before military rescue troops arrived.
        The attack has been described as as the worst since the Tamil
tigers killed 300 Moslems in two separate attacks in the eastern
province in 1990.
        The women of the LTTE have in recent years emerged as the
most ruthless terrorists. Witnesses to their past attacks on
civilians have reported seeing them burn their victims, mostly
Sinhalese and Moslem children, alive and then gathering around the
dead to sing the Eelam anthem.

The way things are looking now, there want be just one future.
There will be two futures. One for Sri Lanka and another for Eelam.
I don't think there's another way. Just look at the so called Parliamentary 
Committee's total failure in coming up with a solution. Sinhala hardliners are
not interested in peace because they are not interested in giving any
concessions. And the Tigers will not compromise at anything either. 
Where do I stand. I'm for a compromise that guarantees self-rule for
us(Tamils) but gives up parts of the East away(from Tamil rule). Trinco
will be under Tamil
admistrative control. Maybe, the port authority can be shared with the fedaral
government. Federal structure will be similar to that of Switzerland(sp?).

Anything less will not be acceptable even to me and most Tamils. There must be 
give-and-take if peace is to come. In long run concerning the Sinhalase,
something the Sinhala hardliners fail to see, they have the most to
lose.

Of course your "grasp of reality" is so strong that you make stereotypes
of people based on their names (direct quote "Since your last name is 
Perera, you're a Christian.") and make gross, across the board 
generalizations such as (paraphrased) "You Sinhalese people don't
