Sri Lanka: Muslims order Christian Tamils to convert or move out of traditional homeland

Jul 21, 2019 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Imagine the international uproar that would ensue if Christians had ordered Muslims to convert or move out of their traditional homeland. But the international establishment media will take little or no notice of this. They’re too busy looking for instances of “Islamophobia” they can use to indict non-Muslims in the West and elsewhere.

“Muslim extremists order Christian Tamils to convert or move out of traditional homeland in Sri Lanka,” Barnabas Fund, July 11, 2019:

Many Tamil Christians and Hindus in Sri Lanka are being ordered by Muslim extremists to convert to Islam or leave the villages where their families have lived for generations.

Hindu Tamil rickshaw driver Jyothinathan Chandrasekhar, his wife, Vinojini, and their three-month-old child fled for their lives after jihadists burned out their home when they refused to convert. His rickshaw was also destroyed in the blaze on 31 August 2018.

The family lived in the village of Walathappatti in Ampara district, Eastern province, which for thousands of years has been the traditional home of ethnic Tamils. The majority of Tamils are Hindu, while around 20% are Christians.

According to local sources, Muslims came to dominate the area when they moved to new homes built for victims of the Boxing Day tsunami of 2004. The new Muslim community went on to stake its claim by renaming the village Islamiapuram.

Jyothinathan and Vinojini, who have since moved to another district, said nine of their relatives have been forcibly converted to Islam by the jihadists….

    QUESTION:

    “What is the Israeli-Arab conflict really about?”

    ANSWER 1:

    Mr. John Rossomando said:

    “[IUMS Trustee Sheikh Hassan Ould] Aldo
    and the [Muslim] Brotherhood use language
    similar to what Hamas used in its original
    charter, which rejected any peaceful coexistence.

    To them, Palestine is part of
    a waqf, a holy Islamic trust,
    that no person can negotiate away.”

    Hamas: No Peace as Long as Israel Exists

    by Mr. John Rossomando, 2019 July 1
    http://www.algemeiner.com/2019/07/01/muslim-brotherhood-hamas-no-peace-as-long-as-israel-exists/

    ANSWER 2:

    The Koran teaches that Jews are
    the worst enemies of Muslims.

    The Koran’s 5th chapter, verse 82 says:

    “You will find that the people most
    hostile towards the believers [Muslims]
    are the Jews and the polytheists…”

    ANSWER 3:

    At a [year] 1937 [CE] lecture to the British
    Foreign Ministry, the King of Saudi Arabia said:

    “Verily, the word of Allah teaches us,
    and we implicitly believe this…
    for a Muslim to kill a Jew…
    ensures him immediate entry into Heaven…”

    SOURCE:
    The Holocaust’s Most Vicious Killers
    by Edwin Black, The Jewish Press,
    2011/1/21, pages 1 and 91.

    ANSWER 4:

    Louis René Beres said:

    “For Hamas, the Israeli enemy is more
    than just a geo-strategic opponent.

    It is, rather, a delegated religious target
    slated for annihilation, one whose obligatory
    and violent elimination will confer blessedly
    eternal life upon the Islamic sacrificer”.

    Terrorism as Power Over Death

    by Louis René Beres, 2019 January 3
    http://www.algemeiner.com/2019/01/03/radical-islam-terrorism-as-power-over-death/

    ANSWER 5:

    “If one or more of the parties knows that peace
    implies the end of its existence, it has no motive
    to return to peace. That is how the radical Islamists
    of Hamas view the future of Muslim society.

    A wealthy and successful Jewish state next to
    a poor and dysfunctional Palestinian state
    may imply the end of the moral authority of Islam,
    and some Palestinians would rather fight to
    the death than embrace such an outcome.

    Rather than consign their children to the
    Western milieu of personal freedom and sexual
    license, radical Muslims will fight to the death.”

    SOURCE: How Civilizations Die
    (chapter Introduction, page xiv) by David P. Goldman,
    year 2011 CE, Regnery Publishing, ISBN 978-1-59698-273-4

    ANSWER 6:

    The Koran requires the “abasement and poverty” of Jews:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism_in_Islam

    CONCLUSION: The Israeli-Arab conflict is
    NOT ABOUT LAND. It is about Arab schools and
    Islam’s most sacred books teaching hate against Jews.

        So right Graven…..and therein lies the BIG PROBLEM…..if Muslims could be reno-brained (is that a word??) and made to know that their awful acts WILL NOT give them a pass to heaven, but only to that Awful Lake of Fire, then maybe the BIG PROBLEM just might be abated…….Many have wondered if maybe, just maybe there is a brain deficiency in some part of the muslim brain that drives the muslim to do so many awful acts. I wonder .f there is a study of this possibility???

    Since this recent news bout nation of Sri Lanka is again reported on, it’s till fitting that we should not forget murderous jihadists murderers this year on Easter Sunday in Sri Lanka. Those jihadists were not acting 2:191. out in a hijacked form of Islam but actual Quran based non-watered down hard core . As the Qu ‘ran teaches in 9:111, “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed.”

    Likewise, this “holy book” of Islam also instructs in 47:4 “ Whenever you encounter the disbeliever strike off their heads until you make a great slaughter among them…
    ”
    Let’s face it, using bombs and firearms as those as the Sir Lanka jihadists did can, for sure, make a greater “slaughter among them” than a sword can. There are the other verses the give instruction for violence and killing for the cause of Islam, as 2:191. 5:33. 8:39.9:5, 38-39.

    So, why will the MSM not cover this? Maybe the answers to the following questions will help uncover this mystery.

    1. Who attacked the Charlie Hebdo offices and why?
    2. Who issued a death fatwa against Salman Rushdie?
    3. Who will physically attack anyone that draws a picture of a dead person we dare not name, let alone draw?

    Sri Lanka had better wake up and smell the tea. Actually, they should gulp down an extra cup or two (it is really great tea). The culture and religious heritage of Sri Lanka is under attack, and the politicos seem to do little about it. My biggest concern is that rather than go after the perpetrators of these atrocities, the government will go after the victims. But then, who is more likely to respond to the governments actions with violence?

    With Sri Lanka ,again, in the news about Islam and Muslim gall Its thus now appropriate that should remember those Easter Sunday jihadists, this very year, with their murderous bombing attacks against all those Catholics in Sri Lanka.

    Those jihadists did have a very harsh reality check after they died in their jihad suicide/homicide bombings. For instead of finding themselves in a paradise, with or without virgins, they found themselves, to their shock and horror, trapped and suffering in the fires of hell, Luke 16:1-31. As the Bible teaches murderer “will not inherit the kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:21. The Bible also gives a list of those who are fated to suffer terribly forever in the Lake of fire and murderers are on that list, Revelations 21:8.

    Furthermore, all those heinous jihad suicide/homicide attacker are both murderous and demonic. It now should be made known that this jihad murderous bombing is the outcome of the Islamic doctrine from the Qu‘’ran [the Koran] of a sexual paradise with many virgins, houris , in it for the male Muslim /jihadist who dies fighting in the jihad for the cause of Islam is found in the “holy book” of Islam, the Koran, in Sura 44:54. 55: 56. 78:31. Also there is the Koranic instruction of Sura 9:111 which teaches “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed.” Getting back to the origin doctrine of Islam from the Koran of a sex –filled paradise with many houris for the use only by the male jihadist who dies fight for the advancement of Islam. All this started when the founder and prophet of Islam, Muhammad manufactured Islam he put , had stolen, some of sex doctrine of Zoroastrian mythology and a yet smaller bit of Hindu mythological sex teachings along with as well as mixture pagan Arabian folklore and myth plus a heavy dose of Judaism and Christianity . Also some of it apostate “Christianity” For the prophet of Islam, Muhammad, couldn’t discern the difference between genuine Bible based Christianity and bogus “Christianity.” Those words and teaching Muhammad gathered from many sources, including the virgins /sex place mythology. , and taught as “Divine Truth” were written down on many things then later compiled and then went into the composition of the Koran. So the hoax of the Koran is actually a mixture and fusion Judaism Christianity and mythology of other religions and now the Muslim clerics with the Koranic brainwashing of young Muslims who are thoroughly mind programmed into believing this Islamic/Koranic virgins myth. This deception of false doctrine /myth into the thoughts of some people was predicted in the Bible along with the false teachers who engage in the indoctrination of such a myth /doctrine into the minds and hearts other people . For it is written “For the time will come when they will not stand wholesome teaching, but will follow their own fancy and gather a crown of teachers to tickle their ears. They will stop their ears to the truth and turn to mythology.” Second Timothy 4:3,4. [N.E.B.]

    The government police should be arresting those ordering others to convert. The finances of the mosque the orderers attend and their imam should be investigated. Closings and deportations possible.

      Exactly! Where is the government in all of this? They should impose the law and punish these muslim criminal terrorists! But it’s always lay low and play dumb with them…

      “According to local sources, Muslims came to dominate the area when they moved to new homes built for victims of the Boxing Day tsunami of 2004.”
      Oh, okay… so let’s get this one straight. Sri Lanka TOOK them in as victim refugees after the tsunami and made room for them.
      Then once they gained the majority power, they ROSE UP against the natural citizens who took them in.
      And as a result, they caused them to LOSE their natural homelands and be persecuted and oppressed.
      Hmmm…. lesson learned anyone?
      Should anyone take in these gremlins anymore?
      Uh… that would be a resounding…. NO!

    The only answer to Islam is to put it down. Islam deserves no respect and should be banned in any free country, as Islam is the enemy of freedom. Their leadership is no different than the NAZI’S and they have the same plan of world domination.

    “According to local sources muslims came to dominate……”
    It’s been happening for centuries.
    What is now Turkey began this way in historical time close to yesterday. They came from below Russia near Mongolia peacefully at first and settled in sparse towns throughout. Squatters as such on Christian lands and the land of Troy.
    They stayed, Constantinople was cosmopolitan and a business hub doubtfully they would not have been foreseen as a threat. They bred,inflating their numbers and the bloody, barbarian coup of the indeginous people was hatched eventually.
    Why? because it’s the nature of the beast.
