    Better still ban all religions. We have has enough of these jokers practicing and preaching delusions. Start by not robbing and set an example.

    Mohamed Rizvi Wednesday, 14 April 2021 02:05 PM

    True, very happy they have implemented PCol request. But the report requested to ban Bodu bala Sena also! why haven't they done that?

    This country is targeting only Muslims. What about Buddhist organizations? No religious Groups should involve In politics. Kind regards

    tom Thursday, 15 April 2021 07:23 AM

    @mod.Anver, with the spread of wahabbism, and it's believers in Srilanka, practically applying to go to heaven by slaughtering non Muslims, for that idiotic belief,and stupid among us willing to follow that myth, as a result, not targeting but corner them and keep shoulder length, just love of own life and safety community

    Sri Lanka Jamathe Islami? Where it is? Jamathus Salamah? Where it is?

    Maqs Wednesday, 14 April 2021 02:36 PM

    If I am right, the PCI has recommended some other organizations as well. What about those?

    Sam Wednesday, 14 April 2021 07:56 PM

    All extremists groups should be banned including BBS, sinhala ravaya,sinha- ley,ravana balaya and mahason balakaya..we know what happened to burning of shops and mosques?law should be equally implemented.

    Psychologist Wednesday, 14 April 2021 09:57 PM

    First arrest the Sinhala politicians who stir up racism. I am aware it will not be done. However as a psychologist I am aware this will badly bounce back.Wait and see. Do not try to be too smart and clever.

    Shan Thursday, 15 April 2021 07:30 AM

    Where are their addresses located? What about the Sinhalese extremist groups?

    Indyd Thursday, 15 April 2021 08:09 AM

    When do we get the cancellation or amendment to this???

    Ranaweera Thursday, 15 April 2021 10:07 AM

    Some people are upset about this ban. May be they are members of these organisations. They were not banned before and operated freely to radicalize their youth.

    Punchi Banda Thursday, 15 April 2021 11:00 AM

    Countries that claim Islamic superiority is to counter the reality of subordination to superior Christian Jewish civilisation. Similarly the countries that promote Buddhist supremacy are in the trash cans of civilisation

    Jeeves Thursday, 15 April 2021 12:26 PM

    20 years imprisonment is too short a sentence. UK recently gave a life sentence to a Muslim extremist who was plotting attacks during their lockdown period. We should follow similar punishments, otherwise where's the deterrent?

    Chanaka J Thursday, 15 April 2021 12:29 PM

    Should adopt "No bail, straight to jail" policy! And what about stripping citizenship of people abroad who raise funds/ promote extremism for terrorism in Sri Lanka?

    SarangaDS Thursday, 15 April 2021 12:32 PM

    To the critics of Buddhists- Buddhist clergy have a right to protect Buddhism; our cultural heritage for 2600 years! And even western countries have constitutional issues based on religion of majority!
