There are indications the war on drugs has intensified in Sri Lanka over 2018, ending the year with this massive narcotics seizure. On December 31, 2018, the Sri Lankan Police Narcotics Bureau (PNB) conducted a raid on a large, upscale house in Dehiwala, south of Colombo, where the house was being occupied by two men from Bangladesh, ages 35 and 38. During the raid, police seized over 272kg of heroin and 5kg of cocaine, with a combined street value of $20 million USD. A police spokesman states this narcotics seizure from Islamic gangs is the largest haul of heroin ever recorded in Sri Lanka. Police say they will destroy the narcotics after the court case ends. In December 2018, over 500kg of heroin was seized in Sri Lanka, while police say 736kg of heroin was seized over the year of 2018.
The latest historic drug seizure follows a large drug bust earlier in December 2018, where according to Ceylon Today (December 17, 2018):
A 23-year-old Bangladeshi woman was arrested along with 32 kg of heroin, with a street value of Rs. 384 million, at a safe house in Ratmalana yesterday evening, a senior Policeman said.
He said the suspect woman was initially picked up from a location in neighbouring Dehiwala by undercover sleuths from the Police Narcotic Bureau (PNB) who had operated on a tip-off.
At the time of her arrest in Dehiwala, the suspect was in a possession of one kilogram of heroin and subsequently led sleuths to the larger haul of the narcotic at Ratmalana, he added. Investigators are certain that the woman was not a ‘lone wolf’ operator and are searching for other contacts both in the country and elsewhere.
According to sleuths close to the investigation the suspect is believed to have been involved in the narcotic trade for a considerable period of time. At the time of her arrest the suspect was living in a rented house.
Further details on this arrest come from The Island on December 31, 2018:
The 23-year-old woman was arrested at a restaurant on Galle Road in Dehiwala and she was in possession of one kilo of heroin at the time of arrest. The police found another 31.329 kilos of heroin hidden in the house she was living in, at Delgahawatta, Ratmalana.
The region of Dehiwala, south Colombo, has a large population of Muslims; considerable Islamic gang activity is concentrated there for the illegal drug trade. Most of the drugs seized by Sri Lankan authorities in December 2018 have identified the Dehiwala area as being the central distribution hub for the country’s drug trade. The two Bangladeshi men arrested for the latest historic drug seizure were living a lavish lifestyle in a large luxurious home, and the drugs were being transported using their expensive, high-end vehicles. Dehiwala is known for its high-income neighborhoods where these Islamic gang members led affluent lifestyles, owning many valuable properties in the area and laundering money into area businesses owned by Muslims.
However, beneath the polished exterior of these Bangladeshi drug traffickers, there is a sinister connection to merciless Islamic gangs and terror. Locals say these Islamic gangs are waging “chemical warfare” on non-Muslim families by creating a hard drug epidemic to destroy their communities, especially since the Islamic gang members typically do not use the drugs they are distributing into the local Sinhalese communities. The heroin seized in Sri Lanka comes from Afghanistan, by air and sea. The proceeds are used to finance terror networks across the world, so these recent historic drug seizures have likely had a direct impact on the global war on terror, possibly saving the lives of many innocent people.
Over the last few years, the drug problem in Sri Lanka has become so severe that in mid-2018, the government announced an end to the almost 50-year moratorium on the death penalty for convicted drug dealers. Usually, a convicted drug dealer has his or her death sentence, by hanging, commuted to life in prison, but this may no longer be the situation, as President Sirisena stated that he “was ready to sign the death warrants.” Despite criticism from human rights lobbyists in Sri Lanka, who tried unsuccessfully to eliminate the death penalty in 2018, the success of Filipino President Duterte’s war on drugs is being cited as a good starting point, because Sri Lanka has become an important destination for international drug smuggling. People believe these Islamic gangs have become so powerful in Sri Lanka that they are creating an underground army to become a serious threat to the government.
These fears reached critical levels in Sri Lanka when a conspiracy to assassinate President Sirisena, along with two top political leaders, was revealed in late October 2018. An investigation discovered the assassination plot was connected to a network of Islamic gangs in the criminal underworld, which resulted in some political upheaval within the coalition government. The war on drugs in Sri Lanka has become an issue of national security, so Duterte-style counter measures are seen as necessary for the government to maintain control against the growing influence of the criminal underworld led by dangerous Islamic gangs that have eliminated all other rivals in the illegal drug trade. After the complete eradication of the LTTE terror network in 2009, merciless Islamic gangs have emerged as the leaders of the criminal underworld in Sri Lanka.
There is an important connection to Bangladesh with these massive drug seizures. International networks of Islamic gangs from Bangladesh are notorious for human trafficking, terrorism, money laundering, weapons, fraud and drugs. These gangs are based inside Bangladesh, a country that has a major problem with organized crime, corruption and Islamic jihad activity. In 2018, over 650 Bangladeshi illegal migrants were apprehended trying to enter the US over the Southwest border. In one case from 2018, a major human trafficker from Bangladesh was arrested while living in a Mexican hotel close to the US border. Much more work must be done in order to stop ruthless Islamic gangs from infiltrating other countries, as they have direct links to international Islamic terror networks through the drug trade in Afghanistan.

We need the wall !!! NOW, stupid Democrat’s will destroy the world !! God will come back and destroy this Satan and bring his kingdom !!
LB says
Isn’t Iran funding drug cartels in South America? To JW readers, this should come as no surprise. How would we call this? Drug jihad?
Also, major props to Sri Lanka’s president for reinstating death penalty. Say what you want, but some crimes cannot be forgiven no matter how liberal your views are.

This above revealing article exposes those criminal and heinous Muslim gangs who are so very despicable that they commit unconscionable actions of evil. As this exposé shows that “those Islamic gangs are waging ‘chemical warfare’ on non-Muslim families by creating a hard drug epidemic to destroy communities…” This essay further reveals that those Islamic gangs “are notorious for human trafficking , terrorism , money laundering ,weapons fraud and drugs.”
To help explain but not justify the wicked behavior of hose hideous lawless Muslim ruffians who make up those Muslim hooligan gangs are engaging in the Islamic doctrine of “Muruna” which is the dogma of Islam that teaches committing evil for the greater good is a noble part of the jihad for Islam. This is, in essence, the same type of “philosophy” that the communists had gone by in the twentieth century. That it’s a “good thing “ to commit many evils to obtain a “worker’s paradise.” Likewise, during World War II even the Nazis had this line of thinking.” To express, as in to illustrate this idea, even more, is by using a twenty-first century movie. Near the end of this movie, just before the final defeat of the super-arch –villain General Zod , that super villain said “No matter how brutal and deadly I was I did it for the greater good.” That is the common mindset of many villains including those of those Muslim gangs.

They are working for Satan !! Hello
Walter Sieruk says
Yes, you are right ,they are working for Satan. Even through they are too blind and ignorance to know it.

Allah is Satan

Surely Walter is wearing pink-colored glasses. it’s likely only the cannon fodder who think they’re keeping Allah gainfully employed.

Some decent and good but naive people might be shocked when discovering out about those criminal Muslim gangs and all many evils they commit which ,are indeed wicked to the extreme. Those same decent but naive people might start to wonder and then ask “Just how could those Muslims, of the gangs, being religious men do so many unconscionable despicable and heinous actions ?”
The answer to that question is found in the Bible. For the Bible does inform its reader that there are some men who are so very vicious, vile and heartless callous ,cruel because they have had “their conscience seared with a hot iron.’ First Timothy 4:2. [K.J.V.]
The “hot iron” is this case is Islam.
Benedict says
The Sri Lankan government has to be very violent with these drug gangs and they have to be put down mercilessly. This is the only way that Sri Lanka can be drug and Islamic terror free.To hell with the human rights organization, they a nothing but a bunch of leftist thinkers. If the Lankans could get rid of the LTTE then they could get rid of these drug gangs.

Well, Islam certainly has no respect for human rights. Not surprised to see this here, considering the source.
mortimer says
Islam is steeped in the criminal ethos of its original founders, namely, the SA’ALIK and their cultist leader Mohammed. Mohammed led a violent, criminal act against non-Muslims every six weeks during the last 9 years of his life. Obviously, he went out on the next raid when the money of the previous booty had run short.
The SA’ALIK were so-named because they were vagabonds and ne’er-do-wells committing petty crimes. Mohmmed welded them into the enforcers of his death cult and extortion cult. The motto of early Muslims was ‘WE LOVE DEATH.’ That says it all.
Theft, murder and enslavement were the basics of early Islam. Muslims lived substantially from the slave trade for hundreds of years, so I ask you, is it any surprise that crime is the normative, default position in Islam?
Carol the 1st says
Several varied attempts to call up more information on Sa’alik using Google met with the expected poor results. I then decided to try Sandra Solomon since she’s spoken on the subject of Moe’s bandits. She says even muslims don’t realize how they fit into Moe’s life – even prior to Medina. In the video below she describes Dawa and Sa’alik (from 6:35 to end):

Narcoterrorism. Growing, manufacturing, smuggling, dealing, to make money, thereby funding terror. Afghanistan is known for its poppy fields…the main source of revenue for that country and its moslim population. This was revealed many years ago, when videos of the taliban supposedly being against the growth of the plant, while actually using the drug to fund their own terror groups. A major source for what is distributed around the earth.
Drug pipelines into the States fund the cartels and the terrorists who work with them.
Not only do the drugs enslave the users, the money funds further crimes and acts of terror.
Sri Lanka is just like many other countries in this regard.
lebel says
Just a question, if these are “Muslim” criminals acting for Islam does that mean that Islam promotes drug use and the drug trade? I’m asking because some of the biggest user countries of Afghan opiates are Muslim countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran. The author makes no mention of that for obvious reasons (evil Muslim doing evil Muslim things for jihadwatcher with need for simple narratives)
Second question, are the gangs that control the cocaine trade out of SA “christian gangs”? what about Meth out of Myanmar? or do we only mention the supposed religion of criminals if they have Muslim names?
gravenimage says
There is no problem in Islam selling drugs to the Infidels to fund violent Jihad.
This is widespread–but lebel hopes we haven’t noticed this.
peter says
Sir you have misunderstood the point There are bad people in all religions . There are bad HIndus, bad Christians ,bad Buddhists . But these bad Hindus , Christians and Buddhists doing these evil things , are not motivated by religious zeal nor is it sanctioned by their religion . They do it out of greed ,lust or whatever human weakness they might have . In case of Muslims ,it is basically thought to be Jihad with strong example of their prophet who is a source of inspiration for all the muslims That is the big difference .It is not the case of a evil person who happens to be a muslim but it is the muslim religious mindset ,that anything is OK as long as it is done with an intent to spread islam by any means and other religions are destroyed .
lebel says
There is no evidence from Islam that selling haram things (like drugs and alcohol) to non-Muslims is ever justified. It is the complete opposite. RS knows this but he also knows that his readers don’t know (or don’t care).
As a source for the above, I have chosen a strict salafi site out of Saudi so that no one may deny the orthodoxy:
https://islamqa.info/en/answers/40651/is-it-permissible-to-sell-haraam-things-like-pork-to-non-muslims
Excerpts:
“The Standing Committee was asked: Is it permissible to deal in alcohol and pork if one is not selling them to a Muslim? They replied: It is not permissible to deal in foods and other things that Allaah has forbidden, such as alcohol and pork, even if one is selling them to kaafirs, because it is proven that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “When Allaah forbids a thing, He also forbids its price.” And because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed alcohol, the one who drinks it, the one who sells it, the one who buys it, the one who carries it, the one to whom it is carried, the one who consumes its price, the one who squeezes (the grapes, etc) and the one for whom it is squeezed.
Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah, 13/49.
