RATHMALYAYA, Sri Lanka - N.K. Masliya says she has been visiting a neighborhood clinic in the northwestern Sri Lankan village of Rathmalyaya for over five years, always dressed in a black abaya - a cloak-like over-garment worn by some Muslim women.

Muslim groups say they have received dozens of complaints from across Sri Lanka about people from the community being harassed at workplaces, including government offices, hospitals and in public transport since the Easter Sunday attacks. “The suspicion towards them can grow and there can be localized attacks,” said Jehan Perera of non-partisan advocacy group, the National Peace Council. “That would be the danger.”

Last year, scores of Muslim mosques, homes and businesses were destroyed as Buddhist mobs ran amok for three days in Kandy, the central highlands district previously known for its diversity and tolerance. “If you have any dignity, stop buying from Muslim shops,” read a red-inked leaflet distributed in Batticaloa and produced by a group called ‘Tamil Youth, Eastern Province’.

How do they think Christians feel and their countries? Persecuted and martyred simply for having faith in the Son of God, Jesus Christ, the way the truth and the life. 'Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter'. (Psalm 44)

TanyaDawnH Ilhan some actions have some consequences.

All those who involved in EasterSundayAttacksLk are Muslim terrorists. Perception on Muslims will never be the same again in Sri Lanka. Damage has been done. They asked for it.

What?

Muslims are an ignorant mindset stuck in the dark ages. To propagate such hate in this century is unredeemable. Islam must be declared a world wide terror organization. They prove it daily in each country they infiltrate....thanks to the likes of Merkel and Obama

RT : Muslims afraid, resentful as ethnic divide deepens in Sri Lanka

! Of being secular in a time like this, is a necessity .. The extremists always use loopholes of the situation in the island to sneak in and carry out their wows .. Magnitude of the plot, is simply could not be ignored .. Places of worship and its clergies were involved ..

Lol.. We are having fun I gues

And the rest of us are having a party? As stocks of weapons, explosives and ammo continue to be unearthed, some in mosques? When a Muslim rep says it is tradition to have a sword in the house and that these seizures of weapons should not be happening?

Yeah, I guess the Christians that were targeted in a massive coordinated bombing attack are not afraid..? Get lost, propagandists.

Too bad. Not allowed in Islam.

playing the victim card already. 🙄

Maybe don't bomb people on Easter

If Missionaries had not gone to these Countries and spouted Christianity would this be happening?

Always the victims.

What do u expect when their talks kill innocents. I conclude Islamists have no intelligence. They are in suicidal course. Only idiots will bomb the majority.

How awful! Will somebody please just think about the poor downtrodden Muslims feel for once?
