The suicide belt was invented back in the ‘70s by a Sri Lanka separatist group, the Tamil Tigers.

The Tamils are a minority in Sri Lanka and they are mostly Hindu. They hate the majority Buddhist Sinhalese, but it’s about political separatism rather than religion.

The island is 70% Buddhist, 13% Hindu, 10% Muslim, 7% Catholic/Christian

“Diversity Is Our Strength”, said no Tamil Tiger ever.

I was just about to say about the same thing you did.

The Tamils ....Hindu mostly....were masters of terrorism

That civil war is one place that Buddhists bared their teeth and crushed their enemy eventually and brought them to heel

Burma too ...Buddhists who kill

Freepers have erroneous views on Buddhists and Hindu and Sikhs like they are pacifists...nope

Still could this be jihadi Muslim thst maybe exists in Ceylon’s small Muslim community

Yes it could apparently a fairly new Islamist sect there..

But they are not the only terrorists on Ceylon are they

Hat tip X he was on the informed page too like you

If Christians are only 10% of the population, what is to be gained politically? Seems like just pure hate.
