Sad, I think there is nothing left for a cremation as it was given with the compliments of Khan.

Kikazaru: like there was nothing to bury for grieving Muslims after the mandatory cremations in your own country?

Politicians who destroy the local economy are the biggest culprits. If conditions were good in Lanka no one would go to these dangerous places to make a living.

European, cremation was mandatory for everyone not just Muslims. None was asking for special arrangements except Muslims. This feeling that you are entitled to specialities the problem of the Muslims.

What a way to go. Sad. Also lets not forget this happened in our land too, and a lady got raped by a Provincial Councilor and his cohorts. I cant recall if justice was served

Sach: but mandatory cremation was only very hurtful for Muslims and Christians, because of their religion.

European Monday, 06 December 2021 03:48 PM

To Sach: you exactly confirm my opinion. No knowledge or sympathy for other religions at all. I am an atheïst by the way.
