    This was already know that the Islamic State with the help of Local Sri Lankan Muslims carried out this deadly blasts and killed innocent Civilians and Tourists. Really sad and shame that the Seculars in Sri Lanka cannot beleive this bitter truth and condemn the Islami Terror

    Just like some people claiming the war victory and saying how they could have prevented this.

    question Tuesday, 23 April 2019 05:21 PM

    Where exactly is this "state" located?

    observer Tuesday, 23 April 2019 05:28 PM

    familiar situation. USA used Muslims(Afghanistan and Pakistanis) to defeat the Soviets and won the cold war. then Muslims felt used and cheated by USA and terrorism began against the west. there is always consequences. Sri lanka used Muslims help extensively in the east and elsewhere ( weapons from pakistan etc) to defeat ltte. As soon as the war was over Buddhist extremist were rioting against them instead of being grateful to Muslims. now it appears IS has moved into fill the local grievances.

    A request govt to respond Tuesday, 23 April 2019 05:43 PM

    And yet after the recent Digana riots and killing many Muslims and destroying their homes and businesses - Has the govt. punished those responsible - except giving bail and forgetting about the issue. Was such publicity given for the riots at Digana ,Kandy, and other places ? Why?
