We can all pick points about who was loyal to whom and who supported whom. Was it not Republican President Reagan who armed the Afghan Mujahadeen? The rest is history of course.
The Muslims were not loyal to the Sri Lankan state. They just were not prepared to fight alongside the Tamil Hindus against the majority Sinhalese Buddhists in a war they could not win. No Muslims fought in the Sri Lankan army.
Buddhists in majority Buddhists nations of Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, and Sri Lanka are resisting Jihad and Islam. Israel and Jewish people should see these as natural allies and stop the self-defeating/suicidal ideology of "oh no, they are non-white so they MUST be bad, we MUST look for a reason to doubt them, the Muslims MUST be right and these Buddhists/Sikhs/Hindus MUST be bad". Im sick of this.
ALL UNITE TO DEFEAT AND OBLITERATE ISLAM!!!!!its funny you say that, when the article says:
"Muslims are seen as having remained largely loyal to the state during the 26-year conflict. Indeed in 1990 they were expelled en masse from the north of Sri Lanka by Tamil rebels with just a few hours' notice."
