The Tigers are another despicable terrorist group in my opinion. I visited Sri Lanka twice in the 70's...it was an absolute paradise until the Tamil terrorists started bombing and killing people.
Most of the population is Buddhist.
Well said! Terrorists are terrorists are terrorists.
Religions: Buddhist 69.1%, Muslim 7.6%, Hindu 7.1%, Christian 6.2%, unspecified 10% (2001 census provisional data)
But perhaps more important in this situation:
Sinhala (official and national language) 74%, Tamil (national language) 18%, other 8%
The Tamil minority want ther own autonomous area made up of several provinces. The govt has been favoring the mooselimbs in this regard. The fight is mainly over land, not religion.
