Form of Buddhism that preaches violence and hatred in Sri Lanka
Sinhalese Politicians and hard-line Buddhists monks fueled Sinhalese Chauvinism in Sri Lanka. They both had their own interests in their mind to promote "this island belongs to Sinhalese" only mentality.
The hard line Buddhists monks who are mostly seen in the Political stage and protests have been the main force driving the hatred against Tamils in Sri Lanka. In their preachings and prayers, they have taught one and only one thing to the Sinhalese majority; "This island belongs to Sinhalese only and everybody else need to be eliminated.".
While the Sri Lankan government waging a war against Tamils in the North and East, they also have deployed another silent war in Colombo against the Tamil & Sinhala speaking Muslims business community in Pettah - Colombo, reported a source, denying store permits and asking for extra money and taxes from the profit. Once the Muslim men lead the businesses in this capital area, now they have been pushed back in their success.
In the article Sri Lanka’s Long War, Miriam Young, Asia Pacific Center for Justice and Peace says "fierce opposition of the Buddhist clergy to any accommodation of Tamil grievances" is one of the main obstacle to bring peace to Sri Lanka. The hard-line Buddhist clergy, who are active in the politics of Sri Lanka, have always protested any accomodation or acknowledgement of Tamils' aspirations in Sri Lanka.

Hi every one,
This is completeley a fake promotion done for LTTE,one of the most dangerous terrorist organizations(they don't have to hijack planes and attak as they have their own light aircrafts and airborne suicide bomber brigade !). This picture is taken at a messed up political rally. This fight was among two political parties. So it is intentianally used to mislead people against Buddhist clergy. There are Tamil political parties who have weapons and kill each other(Karuna and Pillian parties). So is it OK to say all Tamil people are killers? All other images have a story like this. They all are used in a misleading manner. LTTE has faked the history and shown to Tamil children to raise hatred against Sinhalese. Neither Tamil or Sinhalese people have hatered(I'm Sinhalese and my girlfriend is Tamil) but LTTE needs to create a hatred to keep their power among Tamil community. Sinhalese political parties and extreamist also use this chance to get in to power. Ask your self wheather I'm right or wrong !
