FREEDOM OF TERRORISM, FINALLY !!!!!
SRI LANKA HOPEFULLY GAINED ITS FREEDOM OF TERRORISM
Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves. -Abraham Lincoln
Dear Friends
After more then 30 years of terrorist attacks by the LTTE this organization which has been internationally recognized as the most dangerous terrorist Group in the World has been defeated by the Sri Lankan armee.
War and armed action is a horror in the eyes of any normal person, but sometimes a government has to use armed action to protect its people, and a government is the only authority in a country who is allowed to use force for this purpose. We are not happy that the Sri Lankan government had to use full force, but in this case there was a need to do so. The LTTE has killed during the last 30 years more Tamil people then Singhalese, and we all know how many presidents, ministers and even the prime minister of India fall victim to this group. A number of young samanera’s (novices) and monks where slaughtered by them, innocent worshippers at the Maha Bodhi Temple (mainly woman and children)The Temple of the Tooth was bombed , hundreds of innocent Muslim worshippers at mosques where killed, market places, schools, trains, busses etc. etc. where bombed and innocent people slaughtered. Tamil parents who did not want to give their children to them as canon flodder where brutally murdered and so we can go on and on. Hopefully this is now all ended. We want peace and wellbeing for all, not only for a few.
… For Cruelty has a Human Heart,
And Jealousy a Human Face,
Terror the Human Form Divine,
And Secrecy the Human Dress.
The Human Dress is forged Iron,
The Human Form a fiery Forge,
The Human Face a Furnace sealed,
The Human Heart its hungry Gorge.

To long we have been living whit this kind of humans, it should end now!
This cruelty, jealousy and terror has to end!
It should be changed so we can live in peace together true unity, non discriminating, with mutual respect and with a feeling of belonging. That it is possible, we saw that during a number of inter – religious meetings we organized with the purpose to reconcile the different groups! When we started there was animosity, mistrust and fear. After a few day’s during which there was the possibility to confront each other and openly talk about the wrongs done, the situation changed quite quickly, and there where apologizes, expressions of regret, respect, care and love for each other and a feeling of belonging together! There we learned that:
... For Mercy has a human heart,
Pity a human face, And Love, the human form divine,
And Peace, the human dress.
-WILLIAM BLAKE, Songs of Innocence ( The Divine Image)
Unfortunately we had to stop these meetings: not because there was no interest (the people who participated had many ideas to expand the activities), but because of a lack of funds. We are so sorry for this because especially now we need this kind of activities mosth. We had hoped to be able to organize also a number of inter – religious activities for woman and children etc. but money is the problem! I want to stress that we need reconciliation and a dialogue and I want to appeal to anyone who can help us to reach our goal! If any of you can help us or knows a way to find funding please help us! Our Christian, Hindu and Muslim brothers AND SISTERS are most willing to meet again and work hard for this purpose!!!!!!
THERE HAS TO BE DONE A LOT OF WORK IN THIS COUNTRY.
Democracy on the basis of one person one vote has to become accepted true out the whole population, not one group might it be religious or racial can expect more then that. No more privileges like before, not to the Singhalese but also not to the Tamils; not to anyone!
Corruption has to be routed out! Unity has to be established! Like President Mahinda Rajapakksha said: There will be only one majority; Those who love, and are working for de independence and unity of Mother Lanka! And there will be only one minority: Those who are against that!
This all is a long proces and we hope and pray that it will be successful, it has to be if we want peace and prosperity in this country. It’s a hard and difficult process. This country needs all the help it can get, not the “help” like we had recently, we don’t need this NGO’s and INGO’s who 1st of all fill their own pockets, stay in the most luxurious hotels and have humble crab en lobster lunches!!!!! We don’t need those who work together with and support terrorist groups!!! We don’t need those who put their stickers on houses build be others to show their donators a lie, or those who announce great projects and stop them half way because “its so difficult to work here”. We don’t need those who come here and try to buy over people to become a member of their religious groups so they can collect more funds to convert more “poor heathens”! We surely don’t need more of this politicians who come here to have a nice trip and who look down on the “natives” and feel like the colonial masters they once where! They have the courage to judge the situation here while their own countries invade and slaughter millions in other country’s (based on lies and financial interests!!!!!). We don’t need more of this Sri Lanka “experts” who have been here a few weeks or even months staying in their luxury hotels or villa’s racing true the country to reach the nearest beach resort and the next luxury hotel to open another bottle of whiskey.
Those things which are wrong here may be said, but they will have to learn to do that in a respectful and not in a patronizing way!!! That way anybody here will be willing to listen and agree!!!! We need those who really have the best interest for this country and its people in mind!!! We need those who are willing to help this country to do the work needed in constructing democracy, welfare, development, human rights etc. and who are doing that because they want to help fellow human beings in an independent, peaceful and united country.
My mother used a saying which I want to share with you here: It’s so easy to push the crown of once head, but it’s very difficult to put it back on! Let’s together try to put the crown back on the head of this country!!!!
