LTTE and the Christian Church
It is quite common to see the conflict in Sri Lanka being portrayed as
one between Buddhists and Hindus - especially in the Western media,
deliberately ignoring the Christian factor, which is becoming more and
more important in the light of the recent developments pertaining to
the unethical conversions controversy.
Christianity was introduced to Sri Lanka in 1505 by the Portuguese
invaders who arrived with a sword in one hand and a bible in the
other. They burned down thousands of Buddhist temples, universities
and other hallowed places and built Christian churches and schools on
the rubble in order to "civilize" and bring "salvation" to the native
"infidels". Dr Susantha Gunatilleke, in his recent speeches to several
international forums, has explained in great detail the extent to
which these Western imperialists have succeeded in destroying the
indigenous Sinhala Buddhist civilization during the last 5 centuries.
Hundreds of thousands of natives who refused to convert were
massacred. Graphic accounts of how infant children were impaled with
bayonets show the brutality of these fanatics and their warped vision
of the world. Genocide in the name of God is nothing new to
Christianity, which teaches that God created the world and everything
in it for the consumption of (Christian) mankind. I read in the
newspaper today how millions of Native Americans were systematically
wiped out by the European Imperialists through the Church and other
religio-cultural institutions such as the school system. It is
estimated that over 200 million people have been killed during the
last 20 centuries in the name of this religion. The situation in Iraq
is another good example of the Christian crusade to dominate and
Christianise the whole world.
Until the arrival of the Europeans, the Tamil population in Sri Lanka
was very insignificant, with a few primitive settlements in and around
the Jaffna peninsula, most of their inhabitants being descendents of
Dravidian invaders, mercenaries and slaves. Historical accounts by the
European imperialists themselves attest to this fact. It was the
Europeans who brought tens of thousands of Tamils to Sri Lanka to work
in tobacco, coffee and tea plantations. These Tamils were more than
happy to help and collaborate with the Europeans to oppress the
Sinhalese and contain Sinhalese resistance. In return, more and more
schools were built for Tamils while the Sinhalese were taxed even for
owning dogs and having coconut trees, a disproportionately large
number of Tamils were inducted into the civil service, land and other
properties taken away from the Sinhalese were given to Tamils (eg: the
massive land grab from Sinhalese in Nuwaraeliya and adjoining areas in
the 1840s). The same divide and rule system with blatant
discrimination against the indigenous majority was to be seen in many
other countries under the British tyranny. India more or less had the
same situation as Sri Lanka where Hindus were socially, educationally,
religiously and culturally oppressed while Muslims and Tamils
(especially those who converted to Christianity) were favoured.
I believe that the core of the problem has a lot to do with a very
Christian concept, Creation. As far as the Tamils are concerned, this
country and everything in it were "created" for them and them alone by
the European masters (read: God) and how dare the Sinhalese take that
from them! 55% of the civil service consisting of Tamils is not a
problem, because that's how the Master-Creator intended it to be. How
dare the "Sinhala-chauvinist" government try to make things a little
fair for the poor Sinhalese children by devising a quota system that
gave them an equal chance of getting into universities! What right do
the Sinhalese have to change the name of the country to Sri Lanka,
when Ceylon (which, ironically, is a derivative of Sinhalé while Sri
Lanka was an ancient Indian name) was the name Master-Creator had
chosen! And on top of it all, how could they make Sinhalese the
official language, the language understood by the majority of the
population and the only language unique to the country, but deprive
Tamil of the same status. Of course, the fact that it is not an
official language even in its birthplace India where it is spoken by
over 50 million people and Tamils having to learn Hindi to survive in
that country or the fact that Tamils who are significant minorities in
over 70 countries ranging from Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Fiji
and Australia in the Asia-Pacific, and South Africa, Mozambique and
Mauritius in Africa, and Canada, USA, Guyana and West Indies in the
Americas, and Norway, Britain, Sweden, France and Germany in Europe,
timidly and obediently learn the indigenous languages of those
countries and try to assimilate with the natives, would be
conveniently ignored.
Even though the Christian population is "still" at 7%, the Christian
Church has tremendous political influence in Sri Lanka. A majority of
the major business tycoons, media organization owners, civil activists
and almost all the senior cabinet members of the former UNP government
(which suffered the worst electoral defeat in its history at the
recent PC elections) were Christians. Both Ranil Wickremesinghe and
Chandrika Kumaratunge are also widely believed to be closet
Christians. In the early decades of the 20th century, the major aim of
the Ceylon Church was to prevent Sinhalese from obtaining universal
franchise (read publications by the Christian Church of Ceylon at that
time). In the 40s, it was to stop the Sinhalese from getting free
education (read Dr CWW Kannangara's Biography). Today it is using its
proxy, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam to achieve its ultimate
goal, to divide up the country to pieces with ample help from Nordic
countries, Britain and the European Union, hundreds of assorted NGOs
and leftist/liberal political parties funded by either the above
countries or directly by the Church (especially World Vision, Redd
Bana, National Peace Council, CPA, Amnesty International, FMM, Red
Cross, UNHRC, New Left Front, National People's Party etc.) involved
in such innocent sounding activities as peace making, conflict
resolution, poverty alleviation, human rights protection, community
development, media freedom etc, which are actually covers for
evangelisation and promoting separatism (case in point: World Vision's
activities in the North/East and Hambantota). A separate essay would
have to be written to explain the antics of these groups and their
holier-than-thou peace-mongering activists who preach that the cause
of all the problems in Sri Lanka is the Sinhalese and the panacea is
federalism and secularism (euphemism for Christianisation). Read
"Lords of Poverty: The Power, Prestige and Corruption of the
International Aid Business" by Graham Hancock, "Road to Hell: The
Ravaging Effects of Foreign Aid and International Charity" by Michael
Maren, David Rieff's "A Bed for the Night: Humanitarianism in Crisis",
recent columns by Rajpal Abeynayake and Neville de Silva in Sunday
Times and especially the communiqué from President Tejan Kabbah of
Sierra Leone to Kofi Annan just before the 1997 Western backed
military coup, who accused the London based but Nordic funded NGO
International Alert of meddling in Sierra Leone's internal affairs and
supporting the RUF terrorists and "sabotaging all efforts at
implementing the peace", for more information. Iraqis and Afghans seem
to have taken the initiative against these groups in a very Islamic
way, as seen from the attacks on UN, RSF, Red Cross, Korean
missionaries and Christian churches etc in those countries. While we
must sympathize with the victims of terror attacks, these are nothing
compared to what Christians have been doing to believers of other
religions for centuries.
Tamil Tigers are not the only terrorists supported by the Church. Some
others are the African National Congress of South Africa, Sudanese
rebels, Palestinian terrorists (hatred for Jews apparently surpassing
that for Muslims), so-called pro-democracy movements in Myanmar,
anti-Mugabe forces in Zimbabwe, various separatist movements in India,
Northern Alliance of Afghanistan and many others which have been
exalted to the freedom-fighter status by the Western media. The
reasons for the Church and these Western countries to back these
organizations are more politically and economically motivated than
religious per se. The ultimate goal is weakening and destabilizing
these countries so that their natural resources etc. could be
exploited freely and the holy message of the gospel could be brought
to the "uncivilized" masses. In the Sri Lankan context, it is the
potential oil reserves in the North Sea, the Trincomalee natural
harbour, the fish in the shallow sea area surrounding the island and
millions of impoverished people just waiting for divine salvation that
attract them. The first Portuguese marauder that landed in the Indian
coast over 500 years ago is said to have declared, "We came for spices
and Christians". It is the same story even today.
The father of modern separatism, late Mr Chelvanayagam, MP was a
Christian. As the renowned Tamil writer DBS Jeyaraj wrote in the
(Christian owned) Sunday Leader a few months back, Christians have
contributed much more to the "Tamil cause" than Hindus. LTTE's
ideologue Dr Anton Balasingham, a former employee of the British
embassy in Sri Lanka is also a Christian. The same goes for Velupillai
Pirapaharan's son, Charles Anthony and most of LTTE's lackeys across
the globe, ranging from NGO wallahs to left-wing extremists to British
and Canadian parliamentarians. In fact, it is the Bishop of Mannar,
Most Rev Rasappu Joseph who declared open the "Embassy of the Tamil
Eelam", the Eelam House in London.
If you are still not convinced, take a look at LTTE's recently
established Human Rights Centre (joke of the decade to most of us).
Its chairman is a Christian priest! When was the last time you saw a
Hindu priest in any LTTE ceremony or function? Never? But Christian
priests are as a necessary ingredient to those events as are the
representatives from Nordic countries, Britain, EU, Japan, NGOs and
the World Bank. Today hundreds of foreign funded radical evangelical
groups that are openly anti-Buddhist and anti-Hindu have sprung all
over the country, especially along the A9 highway, targeting the Tamil
population there who are very vulnerable following the 20-year war.
There is clear proof that the new proselytes are used to
systematically vandalize Buddhist and Hindu places of worship. The
Western media, which gave huge publicity to the alleged destruction of
Christian "churches" following the death of Ven Soma Thera which was
blamed on the evangelical groups, with headlines along the lines of
"Anti-Christian feeling rises in Buddhist Sri Lanka" etc but most of
these so called churches were huts and temporary structures and many
attacks were self induced in order to blame the Buddhists. What the
Western media also does not report is the religious war that the
evangelical groups have unleashed in Sri Lanka with LTTE's help. Every
night, the walls in Colombo get covered by provocative posters
insulting Buddhists in the lowliest ways. In the past few weeks,
several Buddhist monks have been murdered and one female monk was
raped and killed and the LTTE is clearly responsible for at least one
of these attacks. The President, who wound herself up to a frenzy
following the attacks on the Christian "churches" and ordered 24-hour
police protection for all Christian churches, has not even denounced
these acts. Same applies for all those human rights bleeding-hearts
who are actually trying to justify the attacks on Buddhists. There
were also recent reports of several Hindu temples having been looted
by the LTTE. This seems to have been going on for a while.
Also worth mentioning is the fact that many of these evangelical
groups have been established in Sri Lanka by parliamentary bills
proposed by Tamil National Alliance MPs. LTTE's past attacks on
Buddhists, including the bombing of the Temple of the Tooth Relic in
Kandy - one of the most sacred places for Buddhists in the world,
massacre of novice monks in Aranthalawa, shooting of hundreds of old
devotees at the site of the sacred Bo tree in Anuradhapura etc, all
have the hidden paw of the Church behind them.
Something that you might find interesting is the case of funny Mr T
Maheswaran, UNP MP and former Minister of Hindu Affairs. Mr
Maheswaran, while being a very vocal supporter of the LTTE, also
showed a lot of concern for the issue of mass scale conversion of
Hindu Tamils by evangelists. Just before the April polls, there were
two failed assassination attempts on him but nobody took
responsibility and Mr Maheswaran decided to lay low for a while. Last
month, he re-emerged with the shocking revelation that he's convinced
that the LTTE was responsible for the attacks and threatened to leave
the country for good unless the police stepped up his security. Could
there be any reason save for the obvious for why they tried to kill
him?
There is also evidence that Christian priests have been directly
aiding and abetting the LTTE to carry out terrorist attacks. In the
late 90s, reports of Christian priests being caught trying to smuggle
in banned items used to make bombs to uncleared areas were not rare in
daily newspapers. It is also suspected that the Tigers have been using
some churches in the Kotahena as safe houses. LTTE's renegade
commander issued a warning a few weeks ago, warning his ex-cadres not
to surrender to the Bishop of a certain Eastern district as those who
had, have been turned over to the LTTE to be executed. Not a hoot from
our human rights activists though.
LTTE's ISGA proposals, which aims to set-up a quasi-sovereign
mono-ethnic, effectively mono-religious, apartheid-like parallel state
comprising 1/3rd of the country, has a clause explaining the so-called
"secular" nature of the proposed state. As I said earlier, a secular
state is essentially a Christian one (explained in detail by eminent
Indian scholar Dr Gangadhara) and no truly religion-less state exists
in the world. For example, look at the United States where the church
is constitutionally separated from the state, but every dollar note
has the motto "In God We Trust", and the pledge of allegiance says
"one nation, under God", the presidential candidates always quote from
the bible and the current president utilizes federal funds to finance
Pastor Billy Graham's operations in this part of the world. Where is
the separation, pray tell? The Vatican recently said that Europe
either has to be Christian or it is not Europe. Isn't religion the
main reason for Turkey not being accepted as a EU member? In Britain,
the head of state is also the head of the Church and the national
anthem is "God save the Queen" and the Law accepts "act of God" as a
defence for some crimes and torts. The constitutions of the Lutheran
Norway and other Nordic countries have many references to God and the
Christian religion. Secular indeed! There is reason to believe that
the moment the Eelam is created, the Church of South India that has
contributed so much to the Tamil separatist cause, is set to
re-establish itself as the "Church of Tamil Eelam" and become the
official Church of the new state. This is the ultimate end that the
Western countries, NGOs, the Christian Church and the LTTE are
striving for.
To sum it up, they have brought in the Tamils, planted the seeds of
separatism and the Promised Land (Eelam) in their minds, helped them
take up arms, created a war, bought our servile, spineless and
treacherous President and Opposition leader with Nobel peace prize
carrots (in my opinion, the prize awarded to the biggest traitor in
the world who had betrayed his/her nation and was the most obedient of
all to his/her Western Imperialistic masters), and offered us a
"solution" to the so called ethnic conflict that we are supposed to
accept or become extinct. This is the land of the Sinhalese and it
cannot be run according to the whims and fancies of alien minorities
nor the so-called "International community" which is nothing but a
cartel of modern imperialists consisting of EU, USA, Canada and Japan
out to rob 3rd world countries of their resources. Sri Lanka is a
sovereign, independent state and not a European, American or Japanese
colony and it is time that all these special envoys and peace
messengers from every nook and cranny of the world waltzing around in
our country as if it was occupied territory, realized that!

Buddhists too should re-examine themselves
Sunday Essay by Ajith Samaranayake
(first appeared on www.sundayobserver.lk)
An old spectre is haunting Sri Lanka, a hoary genie is out of a
long-forgotten bottle. Time was when 'Catholic Action' was the war cry
on the lips of the more militant Sinhala Buddhists (during the 1950s
and 1960s) when the newly-independent country was being churned up the
forces of nationalist and religious zealotry. For long oppressed by
the British Raj, the Sinhalese Buddhists, when they recovered their
sense of identity, chose to turn against the Tamils and the Christians
(the two being synonymous in some cases) rather than against the mimic
men who had inherited the so-called Independence and were holding the
menacing English 'kaduva' over the entirely Sinhala or Tamil-educated
larger masses.
The Tamils and the Christians (it was the Catholics who were singled
out as the pet hate objects) it was argued had the lion's share of
everything and particularly employment in the Government sector and
this order of things had to be reversed so that the Sinhalese who
constituted the majority could come into their own. It was a classic
example of a warped sense of post-colonial nationalism.
A particularly comic-sinister aspect of this crusade was the singling
out of the nursing nuns for hostility. At that time there were
Catholic nuns who were serving as nursing sisters in Government
hospitals and there was general agreement that they were doing a
thoroughly good job.
But their critics contended that there was a hidden motive in their
service and that their real aim was to convert hapless Buddhist
patients to their religion. The outcome was that these nursing sisters
were prohibited from engaging in their work in the hospitals.
Now, 40 years after, the old spectre is stalking the land again. The
name of the game this time round is Conversion and all the forces of
righteousness ranging from the Buddha Sasana Minister to the Jathika
Hela Urumaya (JHU) have converged to banish the spectre through their
mantras and ritual incantations.
The Sinhala editorialists have waxed indignant and the tub-thumpers
and rabble-rousers (forever on the look out for obscurantist crusades)
have jumped the bandwagon with relish. Even as the Government has
announced its intention of bringing in deterrent legislation, the JHU
has rushed with its own Private Members' Bill announced by some
sections of the press with fetching naivete as the first piece of
legislation to be brought before the present Parliament as if a
Private Members' Bill can carry the same weight and authority as
Government-sponsored legislation.
That crusade against Catholic Action had the long-term effect of
dislodging the Tamils from their privileged position in the Government
service since under the Official Languages Act, it became compulsory
for Tamil Government servants to gain proficiency in Sinhala.
This contributed to the sense of alienation of the Tamil people which
has today snowballed into fulsome cries for a fully-fledged separate
State. Similarly, the vocal campaign carried out by sections of the
Maha Sangha today against the so-called conversions directed at the
Buddhists and the proposed legislation against it have led to a sense
of disquiet and anxiety among the Christians in our midst.
Anglicised elite
If during the 1950-60 period, there was some justification for the
attacks against the Catholic Church, since then the church has
admirably adjusted itself to the changing social, political and
cultural realities of the time.
The immediate post-Independence period was one in which the church
acted basically as a buttress for the privileged anglicised elite
which had succeeded the former colonial rulers. With its vast wealth
and the support of the Vatican, the church was the bastion of class
privilege and stood for all the backward and retrograde values of a
conservative social order.
But since then, two currents of change have transformed the face of
the church. One is the political movement towards a Liberation
Theology sprung from the church in Latin America which has made
influential sections of the clergy identify themselves with the
movements for radical, political and economic change in Third World
countries such as Sri Lanka.
The second has been the movement towards indigenous culture and ways
of life and away from the outmoded anglicised manners and mores which
has made the Catholic liturgy and music more in tune with the
indigenous motifs of the Sri Lankan way of life.
What those who have raised a storm over conversions do not know or
appreciate is that the Catholic Church is as affected as the Buddhists
by the activities of the fundamentalist groups who are in the thick of
these conversions.
For the main thrust of these fundamentalist groups on the fringes of
orthodox Christianity is to convert people to their own brand of
Christianity which has little to do with the way in which the
established churches are organised. They engage in loud singing with
upraised arms, speaking in tongues, faith healing and other such
esoteric practices and have managed to attract some Christians who
have become jaded with the strait-laced ways of the established church
or are after more exotic thrills.
Buddhism itself has not been without such experiences in the past.
Old-timers will recall the Vinayawardhana Movement and the Thapasa
Nikaya, which created a stir among Buddhists in the 1950s and early
1960s. The monks of the Thapasa Nikaya particularly proclaimed that
with their ascetic ways, they were keen to take Buddhism back to its
roots while the Vinayawardhana Movement was intent on purifying
Buddhism and restoring it to its pristine status.
It will be salutary therefore for those who are concerned with the
present day conversions to see the activities of the Christian
fundamentalist groups in a similar light and recognise that this is a
challenge to the established Christian church rather than see such
activities as the work of the church itself to deprive Buddhism of its
adherents.
Existing malaise
If any fundamentalist religious groups are exploiting the
poverty-stricken circumstances of Buddhists to convert them to other
faiths, it should be quite obvious that they are only making use of an
already existing malaise.
There would have been a time when poor Buddhists would have been
reconciled to their lot either attributing their straitened
circumstances to karma or because they did not, in keeping with their
ascetic conditioning hanker after the good things of life which were
beyond their reach. But in the highly competitive consumerist society
in which we live, such ascetic ideals are steadily on the retreat and
even the remotest peasantry is being seduced by the commercials on
television.
In such a context, it is no cause for wonder that people, whether they
are Buddhists or otherwise, should fall prey to the money bags dangled
by mercenary elements, whether they are Christian fundamentalists or
any other similar group.
It is therefore opportune for Buddhists, both clerics as well as
laity, to re-appraise what they have done for the less fortunate of
their co-religionists. It is quite clear that in a context of
widespread poverty, individual acts of philanthropy or benevolence are
not adequate. There has to be an organised movement to address and
attack the problems of rural poverty.
For example, what have the richer temples in our midst done to
alleviate the problem of poverty in the society surrounding them?
Cannot the 'raja maha viharayas' with all their tracts of land donated
by the ancient kings make a more positive contribution to improving
the lot of the landless peasants.
For two long have the temples expected the people to come to them and
help in their upkeep. It is time that the ramparts separating the
temple from the village are breached and the temple reaches out to the
village.
Tolerant view
It is also time that Buddhists as a whole led by the Maha Sangha take
a more tolerant view of other religions and conduct themselves with a
greater degree of civic consciousness. Perhaps because Buddhism is a
way of individual salvation, it has not bred a communitarian ethos,
but in a society such as the present day social order a sense of
community is imperative.
While Buddhism has been conferred the foremost place by the
Constitution no less, it is necessary that Buddhists should not flaunt
this position in the face of other religionists. For example, there is
this steadily increasing phenomenon of 'pirith' being broadcast
through loudspeakers both morning and evening.
On the road in which I live, this is being done by the Ven. Akmeemana
Dayaratana Thera, Member of Parliament of the JHU. Pirith is among the
most mellifluous music known to man, but when it is broadcast at 5.30
a.m. and 6 p.m. daily for a full hour in a mixed neighbourhood of
Sinhalese, Tamils, Muslims, Buddhists, Christians and Hindus, it loses
whatever sacred meaning it has and becomes another assault on the
ear-drums of a people battered daily by the urban cacophony.
These then are some of the other issues which flow from the current
preoccupation with unethical conversions. Our obsession with
conversions should not preclude us from giving our minds to these
issues as well because if Buddhists become a more tolerant people
mindful of the community round them and their obligations to their
less fortunate fellowmen and women, that will needless to say lead to
the all-round enrichment of society as a whole.

Gerald is a Sinhala Buddhist chauvinist and he reproduces racist
articles that he thinks can be used to convince Tamils. Atleast he is
true to his colour. You on the other hand profess to be a Christian
but write the usual, "we are Sinhalaese, lets gang up and chase the
tamils out of Sinhala dweepa". Is this your understanding of
Christianity? Is this what the Sinhala church preaches?
For your information there are Christian Tamils; percentage wise they
make up about 7% of the Tamil population. The remaining are Hindus.
The fact is, Tamil people put cultural identity before religion. In
Sinhala SouthWest, they have got it the other way round. Just reason a
little bit. If Sinhalese cannot accept their own people because they
hold different religious values, what hope is there that they will
ever accord tamils the dignity and respect they desrve? Absolutely
none.

I'm a christian with very hard line views...i think sri lanka is
'essentially' a sinhalese country.. with what is 'essentially' a
sinhalese civillisation populating it. Sinhalese is also only spoken
in sri lanka and the sinhalese buddhist culture is unique to buddhist
cultures elsewhere in the world: That makes sri lanka 'essentially'
OURS. We outnumber you too, so we can 'essentially' get our own way
(if we wanted) through the democratic processes in place (u have to
resort to violence cos' ur a bunch of whingers..u also fight like
girls/..pfft.. suicide attacks! how wussbag!). Democracy is not
'essentially' meant to be kind to minorities (try to remember that at
all times).
The views of some amateur punter on this NG does not constitute fact
(keep that in mind also). The majority of Buddhists in Sri Lanka are
opportunists...they would like to have the anti-conversion laws, but
they can't be assed to do anything about it. The more intelligent
buddhists know that it's just a farce. the monks are losing street
cred in the rural areas of sri lanka, they can't compete with the
financial fire power of some of these US/European backed evangelical
organisations...hence they want to be punces about it and go change
the constitution. Yeah! I'm sure Buddha would have done that! its a
game of bluff my friend. At the end of the day no anti-conversion
laws..just more mud in the faces of those dumbass monks that supported
it. i urge all buddhists to back the right cause and ignore the
minority jingo's in sri lankan politics...
do as the JVP did and beat the shit out of one of these robe wearing
thieves.
I have a heck of respect for most Buddhists (i've met a lot of them
and i've never run into anyone that was out to get me cos' of my
beliefs), but there's always a few fruit loops in the packet. they
have 'funny' ideas about sinhalaven and what that means. Buddhism is a
philosophical idea, sinhala is a language and culture, very simple. If
you cunts want to insist that they are both the same ..bring it on. No
one could ever say that with any credibility. Sure Buddhism INFLUENCED
sinhalese art, culture and literature ...but this is not the same as :
"sinhalese means you gotta be buddhist". cunts who expouse this theory
are just out for a beating..they get no support from their own peeps
(ie. most rational minded buddhists..) and they get no support from
the int'l community..or for that matter the small but influential
christian community of sri lanka. Face it guys you lost before you
started!
good riddens to the jingo's and lets keep an eye out for coming out on
top at the end of these so-called peace talks...

have a problem with traitors. there are loads of good sinhala
christians in sri lanka. it's the bad apples like jehan perera, some
of the bishops that give all christians a bad name.
in yesterday (friday)'s island newspaper, a letter from a good
patriotic christian by the name of ann something was published (go
read it on island.lk.. yesterday... opinion). she said she supported
the unethical conversions act and criticized the christian church for
not condeming the bomb attack on the dalada maligawa and calling
pirapaharan a humane person.

man! you are one sick pussy machan! but in all fairness ur one of us
and i don't (generally) go after a fellow sinhalese...but in your case
u lost that title ages ago. i think your insanely biast hate for
sinhalese christians (and christians in general) is somewhat of a
cover for your own insecurities as a sinhalese person (not to mention
those thinly veiled sectarian political ambitions you harbour in that
tin can of an excuse for a head). You call me a manipulator, but i
think it is you who is doing all the manipulating here. If anyone is
interested in what i stand for, it's all there on google search (so
let them be the judge of what or who i am). it's true, i'm not like
you in many ways...i for one don't start shit with the tamil members
on this newsgroup. i usually just observe and put in my two cents when
i feel its appropriate. you on the other hand want to take on the
world...a real 'hero' aren't you mate! maybe you think you're more
patriotic than me cos you type more shit on the net? who knows..ur
sick in the head, so i wouldn't put it past you. i try to build up the
sinhalese race, ur always trying to tear it down (i think that's the
most important distinction between you and me). You're an aggressive
twerp, while i'm generally looking for a chance to express my side of
the story in a reasonable and empathetic manner. once upon a time i
did try to reason with you..but sadly, ur beyond reasoning with. if
anyone wants to know what i stand for..it's all there..just look it up
under "jiffyspaceman" or "j2k4". On the other hand what does this
**"bittertruth"/"thetruth" stand for? That's right, go on... compare
what i've said over the past year and a bit to what you've said over
your entire inane existence here on soc.culture.sri-lanka. it becomes
very apparent to anyone reading "who's who" on this newsgroup.
stick to what you're good at machan: propaganda!
j2k4
ps! **bittertruth was formerly known on this ng as "thetruth"

1. homo ceylonese jungle bunnies
2. homo hindu jungle bunnies
3. homo catholic jungle bunnies
4. homo pope of vatican
5. other child molesters they have in mind at any given moment
There is no Nordic authority there on this island of niggers whatever this
faggot with one inch penis says from kannada. what the pervert does in
kannada in the first place. the homo should go and fight for fartherland. to
be prepared to give his life for other niggers of ceylon. All the power is
in the hands of niggers themselves. Nobody here is anyhow motivated to run a
country of homosexuals on an island whose GDP is about one hundreds of the
share of the city of Helsinki. You have nothing, you are nothing and you
fight for nothing, that you are homosexuals is not anyone else's fault. so
just bugger off homos. Not sudanese, chinese, colombians, mayan indians and
so on are cross posting into soc.culture.nordic. only a handful of ceylonese
homosexuals with minute penis. try penis enlargerment. this is the world of
men not of mice. buy guns, liquidate your enemy, have flags high (die Fahne
Hoch) and die heroicly. stop entertaining your homo boyfriends but go for
guns. start a new and proud life. kill them all. for instance some 65 years
ago communist homosexuals assaulted Finland. Finnish military force then
just slayed the foe to death. you better do the same and stop this forthless
homosexual babble of yours. it doesn't lead anywhere. and above all stay
away from soc.culture.nordic because you are merely disturbing people who
are just alien to you and absolutely superior to you. your hebe foreskins
stinks. go to bethlehem.
