    How can a democratic and secular country like Sri Lanka conclude an extradition treaty with a fanatical Islamic dictatorship that commits serious human rights violations? Women are depressed, there is a religious police that is above the law, convicts are hung on cranes, blasphemy is punishable by death. Murder orders are pronounced worldwide (Salman Rushdie) and all in the name of a god.
