The terrorists in Sri Lanka are Hindu, fighting for an independant state carved out of the north.

Depends on the region the tamel tiger group is from. Most of the Tamel "fighters" are children kidnapped from local villages.
Tamalese(?) are a regional culture of India and Sri lanka (and other places as well) , whose people can be members of any of the religions mentioned in my post above.

The LTTE is a semi-socialist organisation based on the personality cult of Vellupillai Prabhakaran,their enigmatic leadership-you could call their setup a subcontinental version of North Korea.Their religion being predominantly Hindu is a coincidence as it's never exhibited.There are numerous Christians in the movement too-The late Anton Balasingham,their main negotiator is an example.
