The familiar media narrative when reporting on serial killers is that, “No one suspected a thing”.
When it comes to Islamic terrorists, it’s also usually, “No one suspected a thing”. But in reality, no one was paying attention.
There was a history of violence. A slow process of building up to a horrific act of terror. But the warning signs were ignored.
The massacre of Christians in Sri Lanka had warning signs going back to 2004.
When the Wahhabis came, with their austere ideology and abundant coffers, the town of Kattankudy yielded fertile ground…
It was here in Kattankudy’s warren of homes decorated with delicate swirls of Arabic calligraphy that Zaharan Hashim, the man accused of masterminding the Easter Sunday attacks in Sri Lanka, grew up. And it was here that he preached his ideology, calling for the killing of nonbelievers in Islam and even other Muslims…
The Sri Lankan police say that at least two of the suicide bombers involved in the attacks, which killed at least 250 people, were from Kattankudy. The Islamic State claimed responsibility…
It was in the 1980s that Kattankudy, one of the few almost exclusively Muslim towns in Buddhist-majority Sri Lanka, began blossoming into a center of Islamic life. The town was enriched by Saudi money for mosques and madrasas, work-abroad contracts and university scholarships…
There are more than 60 mosques in Kattankudy for a population of 45,000, and most now subscribe to conservative strains of Islam, including Wahhabism. At the New Kattankudy Grand Jumma Mosque, designed as a replica of Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, one of Islam’s holiest sites, construction workers are laying intricate blue mosaics as part of the town’s mosque-building boom…
I’ve snipped out the various claims of Islamic irresponsibility.
The bottom line is that Kattankudy was a majority Muslim town. Its mosques were tilted toward Jihad with the complicity of the Sri Lankan government.
In an appeal to the Muslim community that supported his government, Mahinda Rajapaksa, Sri Lanka’s former president and an unabashed Buddhist nationalist, came to lay the cornerstone of the Kattankudy Grand Jumma Mosque. Saudi diplomats visited, too.
The Saudis and others from the gulf also supported a plan by M.L.A.M. Hizbullah, a Kattankudy native who is now governor of Eastern Province, to open an Islamic-inspired university campus in his hometown. But a dearth of land in its densely populated neighborhoods meant that the university, a vast edifice of domes and mosaics that is one of the biggest buildings in the province, is being built farther north.
Mr. Hizbullah is against reversing regulations that allow Sri Lankan Muslim men to marry children and have multiple wives. Last week, the authorities brought him in for questioning in connection with a radical group founded by Mr. Zaharan.
And there was a history of Islamic violence going back to 2004.
Beginning in 2004, Wahhabi-influenced youth from Kattankudy began attacking Sufis, who practice a mystical form of Islam. Grenades were thrown and swords thrust. Hundreds of Sufis were forced from their homes.
And nothing was done.
When Islamic violence is tolerated, it only escalates.
For almost a generation, Kattankudy had been morphing into a Jihadist stronghold. It’ll take a lot more than a few arrests to turn things around. An embryonic Muslim majority emirate has been set up. The violence is the natural consequence of the theology.
Jaladhi says
Islam has no shred of peace in it! If there are Muslims anywhere, there will be violence!! The Western media is the most stupid media ever – these clowns have no clue about Ilam and they preach us from their high horse every time Muslim commit massacre anywhere in the world! Just ignore these morons!
Ravi says
Islam is a disease worse than a combined epidemic of small pox + Malaria + Tuberculosis + HIV + Plague. These epidemics killed lot less people than this violent virus called Islam which destroys brain and turns the infected brain cells in ultra violent ogres.
peter says
Media especially liberal left wing are not stupid .They are nothing but pure evil .As evil as Islam .They do anything and even sell their mothers if that keeps their jobs secure with their corporations! They have no shame and no principle .! God save the world from them and Islam!
Ravi says
Why is that almost every democratic government tolerates the Islamic medieval beliefs over the laws of the land, and panders to the Islamic murderers. May be China is right after all in dealing with the way they deal with their Muslim headache. Sri Lanka is way too tolerant and so is India and previously almost 100% Hindu Nepal is now coming under the evil influence of Islam once it became a secular republic. The only way to deal with Islam is to crush it, it is the black plague of our age.
No Muzzies Here says
They tell us quite clearly what they plan to do.
They act violently. They tell us of their plans to inflict more violence. What sane person would not conclude that they WILL inflict more violence?
Only a person whose mind has been distorted by an irrational fear of being called bigoted for pointing out that violent people will likely inflict more violence.
James Lincoln says
No Muzzies Here,
You are quite right.
Anyone who does not fear Islam is not thinking rationally.
The fear need not be paralyzing however, just an impetus to take proper action, e.g. Hungary, Poland, etc.
Raja says
James, I thought the Left was NEVER known to be rational. Perhaps they are busy formulating a new word to bring comfort to the masses and still run governments.
Isaiah 32: 6 presents a rather grim picture of Leftists.
For a fool speaks nonsense, And his heart inclines toward wickedness: To practice ungodliness and to speak error against the LORD, To keep the hungry person unsatisfied And to withhold drink from the thirsty.

Barb says
The Saudi Government according to reports does not tolerate the building of Synagogues and Churches – therefore, Sri Lanka and all non-Muslim countries should ban Saudi financing of the building Mosques and should close ALL Mosques! No international funding of Mosques, Universities or Governments!
Raja says
Barb, With due respect, Saudi does have some Church buildings. I am not aware of synagogues though… These are for appeasing globalists and pretending to be friendly with infidel nation states.
I hate Saudi Arabia just as any other Muslim nation. They are incubators for hate and mass murder of infidels. They export Islam and terror beside oil.
John Gardner says
While it has been many years since I lived in Saudi Arabia, I distinctly remember being told there were NO churches there. Would you be so kind as to provide more detail or links to sites with this information?
Rick Spencer says
Raja…
My research indicates that there are NO ‘operating’ churches in Saudi Arabia. There may be some buildings and, if so, there is NO public worship in these (ex) churches. Christian worship OUTSIDE OF THE HOME is still ILLEGAL in Saudi Arabia.
I agree with Barb…
External funding, even if only from Saudi Arabia and Iran, should not be tolerated in any country outside of the Islamic World…
peter says
It is much easier said than done . Who is to bell the cat !
CRUSADER says
The fable concerns a group of mice who debate plans to nullify the threat of a marauding cat. One of them proposes placing a bell around its neck, so that they are warned of its approach. The plan is applauded by the others, until one mouse asks who will volunteer to place the bell on the cat. All of them make excuses.
The story is used to teach the wisdom of evaluating a plan on not only how desirable the outcome would be but also how it can be executed. It provides a moral lesson about the fundamental difference between ideas and their feasibility, and how this affects the value of a given plan.

Sri Lanka Muslim Majority Town Behind Christian Massacre Had Islamic Violence Dating Back to 2004

Why wasn’t he in prison?

It was in the 1980s that Kattankudy, one of the few almost exclusively Muslim towns in Buddhist-majority Sri Lanka, began blossoming into a center of Islamic life
……………………
Why is it that whenever a place “blossoms into a center of Islamic life” that it becomes a base from slaughtering Infidels? This is, of course, a rhetorical question.
Raja says
Gravenimage,
A center of Islamic life or Islamic students association or anything prefix of Islam or postfix of Islam is bound to bring a gory end to the local infidels with their land, women, children taken away.
The West seems to be delighted at the prospects of this…
In India, it is not different either. There has been mushrooming of Saudi sponsored mosques in Kerala and Uttar Pradesh for several decades. The only deterrence to Jihad in India is reprisals and resultant riots (without justice) and this has put lid on the impending Jihad SO FAR…
elee says
They just let this s^*t fester away for a decade and a half? Hey world pay attention! How many other Islamistans are festering away now, coming soon to an atrocity near you?
somehistory says
This post by Mr. Greenfield reminds me of the couple who went on a murdering spree at the Christmas party. Neighbors had noticed a lot of strange activity, even in the dead of night, and didn’t say anything. They didn’t want to be thought of as “phobic” about islam or suspicious of moslims.
Had the government reacted as it should have after the 1993 bombing of the WTC and the finding of the paper from the MB about “destroying the miserable house from within”…which now has several vile moslims “within” the House….and then after the terrorist attack on the USS Cole, and after the 9/11 attack….things would have been different for those innocent people at the Christmas party.
So the Sri Lankan government allows moslims to come in and take over an entire town..
.60 barracks for 45 thousand people..and the president of the country helps build a new one…Then what else can be expected than that they plan and carryout terror attacks.
They didn’t do anything about the moslim military buildup in their country.
They didn’t do anything about the moslim males taking little children to daily rape ceremonies or taking multiple wives…
and they didn’t even have the common decency….which has become **uncommon**…to warn the churches about the impending massacre.
If they had warned the people who were going to be killed…many would have stayed home and stayed alive.
Had they warned the people…perhaps when they saw the moslim with his loaded backpack coming into the church, they would have thrown him out…or in the buffet line…they would have stopped him.
Just more evidence that they wanted to get rid of the Christians on the island. Perhaps their plan afterward is to get rid of all of the moslims who have gotten rid of the Christians.
alex says
They should have checked the backpacks of every backpack-wearer (or bag-carrier) in the vicinity of those churches or hotels, and they should also have used a metal detector on people for at least special days such as Easter. If the Sri Lankan government had some notice of an impending attacks, with even vague info, they should have warned the churches and hotels,so that those establishments could have set up their own security, if the gov’t was unwilling or unable to. As for the boldiy remains of the terorists, they should be drenched and smeared with lard and pork offal, and then buried in pigskin, and anyone else convicted of aiding and abetting this atrocity, should legally receive a General Pershing-style execution and burial, at the very least. Feck political correctness.
CRUSADER says
The point in doing all of that with pigskin etc is of course retribution but also deference….
Muslim jihadis won’t want to end up in such condition for possible fear of noting making it to paradise….
So, the pig suede becomes a dissuader.
CRUSADER says
deterrence !!!!
(…darned auto-correct…)

Is there a way to ban Saudi money coming into a country for non business purposes? Immigration from Muslim majority countries should be prohibited.

Concerning Saudi Arabia and its sly funding of the jihad with all its murderous violence.
As the above top main article above informs the reader “It was in the 1980’s that Kattankudy, one of the few almost exclusively Muslim towns in Buddhist-majority Sri Lanka, began blossoming into a center of Islamic life. The town was enriched by Saudi money for mosques and madrasas, work-abroad contracts and university scholarships…”
Furthermore, is should also be added that Saudi Arabia is no friend of America nor any other Western nations . For example, it has been exposed that “Since 1973 wealth from oil revenues has allowed the Saudis to spread their totalitarian Sunni Wahhabi belief throughout the world by financing Islamic madrassahs in Pakistan and elsewhere.” [1]
Those madrasas are really Islamic mind programming centers which and the outcome of jihad minded Muslim coming out of them and many of them engage in jihad suicide /homicide attacks .
In other words those Muslim who come out those mind programming center s are so thoroughly harmed and damaged in their cognition they are literally “dangerous to self and others.”
Jihad suicide /homicide attacks do lead to the subject that there are Muslim mind control places where Muslim males are thoroughly indoctrinated into the strong but blind and unquestioning faith in Koran with all non-watered down; hard core Islam with its militant jihad. Those places, “schools,” are called madrasas. In those Islamic mind programming centers young Muslim male are ingrain in the mindset Koranic dogma of the use of violence and killing for the advancement of Islam. As the Koran instructs. As in, for example, in 2:191. 9:5, 123. 47:4. Many of those who of such center are so much damaged that they are literally dangerous to self and others. As seen many times in jihad suicide, homicide bombing/attacks. For the Koran instructs in 9:111. “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed.” Furthermore, those mind programming places also ingrain the outlandish absurd Koranic doctrine of a sex-filled paradise with many virgins, houris, in it for the Muslim male who dies fighting for the cause of Islam in the jihad. Such a strange doctrine of a houris filled- place in found in the Koran in 44:54. 55:56. 78:31.
Moreover, such Islamic mind programming centers are further explained about by the scholar Don Richardson in his book SECRETS OF THE KORAN which on pages 69,70. Informs the reader that “The world needs to be warned. At least forty million Muslim youth in the Muslim worlds’ religious schools, called madrasa, are avidly memorizing the entire Koran … These schools become breeding grounds for potential terrorists. When male students, isolated from family and friends in madrasa, reach puberty and their hormones are active, there are no girls to date. Instead, Muslim clerics easily shift to focusing the male student’s attention on Koranic verse that promises sex in heaven with dark-eyed houris. Students can only fantasize about martyrdom followed by the sexual release Muhammad promised. This is an unspeakably cruel brainwashing technique , and the Koran is its perfect guidebook.”
Saudi Arabia is no friend to Sri Lanka
[1] THEY MUST BE STOPPED by Brigitte Gabriel
Walter Sieruk says
This jihadwatch essay in part reads “There are more than 60 mosques in Kattankudy for a population of 45,000, and most now subscribe to conservative strains of Islam, including Wahhabism.”
Moreover it needs to be made known that the Islamic kingdom of Saudi Arabia has not and will not spare any of its vast oil wealth as to use its financial resources to fund and promote the advancement of Islam by and through the jihad. By this it means both the stealth jihad and even the subtle support violent jihad.
As explained, for example in the book HOW ISLAM PLANS TO CHANGE THE WORLD by William Wagner. For on pages 109, 110. The reader is informed that “The Wall Street journal on April 15, 2003 published an article titled ‘In law Seminars, A Saudi Group Spreads Extremism.’ The article began by saying ‘In late February more than 300 young me n from across Europe gathered for a weekend seminar on Islamic Law put on by Al-Waqf al-Islaami Foundation.’ The article went on to explain that the most famous graduates from the seminar were half a dozen members of the group of young men from Hamburg, Germany, who plotted the September 11, attacks. The language of the was Dutch, but ‘the message was imported from Saudi Arabia, via Saudi books and lecturers who taught a strict orthodox interpretation of Islam.’ “
Further on the very same page of 110 the information is given that “TIME MAGAZINE , in an article on Saudi Arabia: Inside the Kingdom,’ stated ‘Apart from channeling money to foundations that have assisted terrorist groups, Saudis have for years supported institutions abroad the propagate Wahhabism.’”
In addition to all this, in the book of the title of THE HISTORY OF JIHAD FROM MUHAMMAD TO ISIS, by Robert Spencer on pages 333 through 337.Mr Spencer provides valid information of the subject of “ The Saudi involvement in September 11.”
So with that Islamic regime of Saudi Arabia and its oil money support the different type of the jihad, both stealth and the violent kind, with its Islamic agenda advancement and spread , influence and infiltration of the Western nations ,this kingdom of Saudi Arabia is no friend at all of Sri Lanka or any other country.
Walter Sieruk says
The governmental investigation agency of Sri Lanka discovered the identities of the individual Muslim terrorists who engaged in those murderous jihad terror attacks on Easter Sunday in Sri Lanka and found that most of those violent and deadly jihadists were highly educated and came from middle class families. This is yet further proof that it’s not a lack of education or poverty that causes and incites some Muslim to become terrorists. It’s the religion of Islam which contains in its “holy book” ,the Quran, instruction for violence and killing for the advancement of Islam. As in, for example 2: 191, 5: 33. 9: 5, 111,112. 47:4.
