Extremists? who? Ban KI, Navi and co.? Yep, the whole bunch, definitely !

I support this protest. The UN should look for problems elsewhere and leave S/L to find its own solutions.

-4+10 # Hal 2012-09-21 09:01

We as disciplined citizens do not support any from of protest.

-2+7 # Banda 2012-09-21 10:25

Why are these people so scared for an inquiry, you should not worry if your hands are clean.

live in peace, wait and see , its upto the Indians,

-11+45 # Hal 2012-09-20 22:48

This is very ironic as Lord Buddha campaigned for human right during his time in India. He was against the cast system which was against human rights.

Why do not offer that to Tamils first.. leave them alone. do not try to rule them

-29+16 # nalaka 2012-09-21 07:04

No one wants to rule Tamils what we want is to protect this country from being separated by the Tamils

"Let Us Live In Peace" !!
We telling it to the United Nations? What a silly thing !

-11+6 # Samantha 2012-09-21 04:48

Hi Labby,

Since people like you still think UN is the agent of Peace.. still westerners use UN for their work.. If UN is really in to peace they can do their mission properly in Afganistan and Iraq.
You live decades behind.

We need salvation, justice and peace not only to tamil people but to the whole country.

I dont see Modawansa among this anti-western Kolama.

-3+12 # Manoj 2012-09-20 23:58

i am a buddhist but these monks are looks to be kind of jockers. these issues must be handled at deplomatic level not at the road level

-2+10 # dass 2012-09-21 01:13

I wonder how many of these Buddhists will shorten the "sansara" by doing this protest. If not how many of them will born in a Tamil or Muslim womb ( if they are lucky to be human next lifetime)

Love USA! Love India!! Love Japan!!! = Peace
Love China?..

Where is the other joker (Wimal). He went on a fast then. Now he should do something more.

-6+22 # rumi 2012-09-21 02:04

our monks should continue to spread peace instead of asking from UN the peace. UN is here to piece the communities.

-2+8 # VICTOR 2012-09-21 02:15

According your protest mean that, you can do whatever you like
others not ask any question about massacred innocent people. Until you stop this silly protest there is no peace in this country.

To achieve peace and show to the world that they are genuine in the reconcialiation ,the goverment allowed UN personnel to enter Srilanka.Without protesting theJHU must help the goverment to perform the duties.

-4+12 # pretheepan 2012-09-21 03:44

I am wondering whether the JHU understand english?
In the first image they say that there is no 'good wars' yet when the war was going on they were supporting it and saying anyone who opposed it was a terrorist. They said it was their duty to fight and now they say it was not good?

There is no bad peace any educated person knows that this clearly not true, the main cause of the rise of Hitler and the start of world war two was the fact that the peace created at the end of world war one was BAD. Bad peace leads to another war.
Does the JHU believe in Slavery as that is a form of peace as there is no fighting?
Why did Sri lanka fight for independence, their was peace under British rule?

If the JHU is opposed to the UN conventions of human rights etc then they should use their power and withdraw Sri Lanka from the UN. You cannot belong to an organization and not accept the rules.

It would have been appropriate if it was written as "LET US LIVE IN PIECES"

-2+1 # cock eyed & crooked 2012-09-21 04:11

No court order to prevent their protest,
No water cannons,
No road blocks,
No ata pass fellows intimidating the protesters,
This bloody blatant violation on equal rights ....

-5+22 # gamarala 2012-09-21 04:34

JOBLESS PUPPETS.

-2+25 # Jayalath 2012-09-21 06:23

Let all Sri Lankans Live in Peace.
No Harassment;
No Majority Domination.
No Buddhist, Hindu, Cast domination.
No compulsion or intimidation for any Sri Lankans.
All Sri Lankans are EQUAL.
Equality in selection to Police, Army, Air force & Navy.
Equality in Selection of all Govt Sector Chairmen & staff.
Majority to Protect the Minority
Able to Protect the Dis-able,
Young to Protect the Old,

-2+6 # OutCast 2012-09-21 08:25

Majority domination is in the law my dear. for example, President of this country can only be a Buddhist.

If these can implied practically no one can point at us.. but currently it is failedthat is why the consequences.

Jayalath , well said , these protesters must follow BUDDHA'S
Preachings and practice same to protect this country , we all lived peacefully , suddenly something happend , please think

-4+10 # Upu 2012-09-21 07:08

I suggest slogan." LET US KILL EACH OTHER "

-3+11 # Man B 2012-09-21 07:43

"We" means who and who, Please avoid these kind of protests.

-3+6 # Hal 2012-09-21 09:03

I should like to remind the JHU that we can not forget what happened in the past. There has to be accountability a fundamental principal of the Buddhist Phyloshopy.

-3+2 # samosa 2012-09-21 10:17

Munta pissu, looks like they don't have much work at temples.

-0+0 # Sammy 2012-09-21 11:31

There are various types of wars being waged and covered up with the name of "peace". First be honest and eliminate prejudices in favour of the majority community, which the JHU is indulging in.

-2+4 # Davidson 2012-09-21 11:34

These protestors should go in front of Temple Trees.
