Muli-billionaire businessmen behind Buddhist – Islam ‘bomb’

Sri Lanka is a country where Sinhalese, Tamil, Muslim, Burgher and other masses live peacefully. There should be divers

ity among communities. Their beliefs should be respected. Imperialists are waiting to ignite the ‘Ssooryasinghe’ and ‘Halal’ bombs. What is behind this issue is a business war. The government should comprehend this clearly and act accordingly,” said the Leader of the JVP Somawansa Amarasinghe at Dambulla.

Speaking further at a meeting held at Gimanhala Hotel at Dambulla on the 10th under the theme ‘Intellectual dialogue against regime that torments masses’ Mr. Amarasinghe said, “The ‘Halal’ bomb is about to explode in the country. ‘Halal’ is, according to Islam’ is to do good; to follow good principles. Every religion teaches to do good and abstain from evil. Buddhism we follow too teaches us to be good.

However, what is being done using these principles will lead to a catastrophe. It is the USA that clashed with Islam religion first. It is due to the greed for oil. Here too it is a business war. There are multi-billionaires behind these clashes. The dominance is unleashed in various ways due to their economic interests.

Sri Lankans who have gone to the Middle East are engaged in a life struggle. Some lose their lives. They go abroad as it is difficult to find a living here.

We should carefully identify the forces that kindle these clashes. There are no conflicts between poor Sinhalese, Tamil and Muslim masses. It is the forces that want to maintain the vile capitalist system that are behind such conflicts.”
