Aluthgama And The March Of Triumphalism

“Lies are believed amongst every race; and was any race ever the sole possessor of Truth?”
Abdallah al-Ma’arri (Arab poet and sceptic 973-1057)
( June 19, 2014, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) In Aluthgama and Beruwala, violence has petered out and fires have died. But it will be a long while before normalcy returns to these afflicted localities, if at all. The memories and the fears will survive, and for the Muslim people of the area, life will have to be lived under an ominous cloud of dread and foreboding.
