Barbarism Of Sinhala Buddhist Extremist Forces Against Muslims
By Eastern Muslim University Teachers’ Association for Human Rights -June 16, 2014
The Eastern Muslim University Teachers’ Association condemns the outrageous barbarism unleashed against the Muslims of Sri Lanka by the Sinhala Buddhist extremist forces like Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) aimed at resurrecting another pogrom of 1915 or 1983.
The recent trend of hatred and intolerance coupled with incidents associated with violence towards Muslims underlines the ethno-religious politics of the successive government in the post-independence of Sri Lanka. In the aftermath of the war in the country, the Buddhist extremist forces like Bodu Bala Sena and Sinhala Ravaya whipping up anti-Muslim campaign or hysteria with the tacit approval of the government aims at wrecking the cordial and congenial relationship between Sinhelese and Muslims.
