The Buddha Sasana and Religious Affairs Ministry is to introduce a new law seeking action against publications, either in print or online, that defames the original teachings and traditions of the major religions, officials said yesterday.lkboy Friday, 16 August 2013 05:59 AM
good. these will control extremists of all religions.

Purported original teachings!

The biggest joke of the century. The sinhalese are the worse example of buddhism to the world i.e. one has to ban meat and alchohol on Poya to make sinhalese not partake the same... thus it is these same criminal minded race that is planning to become the protector of buddhism. This is the greatest insult to the teachings of Lord Buddha.

Let's join the fundamentalist, paranoid club, another step into total morondom! Only approved publications by King kekille would be allowed!!

So, is it okay to defame the teachings of minor religions?
Perumal Friday, 16 August 2013 10:30 AM
The so called original teachings could be incorporated in Mahinda Chinthana!

Buddhism is build around the idea of freedom. Including freedom to follow and experiment with different view and ideas. How can a committee of Majority lay people and politicians decide what is and what is not Buddhist?

Selective justice? The law is already there without implementation for eg. if the law is strictly applied which religion has many not removed unauthorized structures?

This is another law to practice restriction on minority religion though it is said to introduce them to other religion. it would never happen and first of all, stop the activities of BBS, Sihala ravaya etc they are the ones spreading hatred blatantly and violently in public with total impunity

Will this zip the likes of gnassara......

Well said Sir BuffaloaCitizen. Don't you think it has a STINT to State Controlled Faiths? You may interpret Dhumma or Christian principle quite different to that of Wimal Weerawanse or Dr Harath.
All Sri Lankans enjoyed a Secular State to an extent and this is also against our Constitution.

Freedom of Speech, people. Take that away and you have the "Taliban". Leave things alone. Sooner or later, people will come to their senses and give up all this voodoo called religion.

Please.... including clause to ban destruction of worship places used by minorites as well :-)
CEEDEEBEE Saturday, 17 August 2013 02:17 AM
Why only major religions? who decides which religions are major or minor. The worshippers of some religions which may be deemed to be minor may not think so - Sri Lanka is known for it's openness of all religions - please keep it that way.
