Bomb Throwing Monks.
December 13, 2004
Bomb Throwing Monks may become the next tourist attraction in Sri Lanka. The inspiration behind the bomb thrown at the Sharuk Khan concert on was provided by militant buddhist priest. The incidence has done a lot more damage than the tragic loss of lives it caused.
From now on celebrities will think twice before touring Sri Lanka, and now that serving alcohol will be banned after 11:00pm (thank the monks for that) and casinos running out of business because of the new taxes, the country will be forced to promote bomb throwing buddhist monks as a tourist attraction.
Around 7% of the countrys population believed that they are more equal than other Sri Lankans, and decided that the monks who promised to take away some of the most fundamental of human rights should be voted to parliament. The monks promised to protect and foster buddhism, unfortunately buddhism needs to be protected from these ayatollahs in yellow robes and not by them.
These same monks lead the aggetation against the concert that was held on saturday. Though they were quick to distance themselves from the bomb throwing incidence and even to denounce it, the blame lies squarely at their feet.
A robed hand may not have thrown the bomb. It's even possible that it was thrown by a party with vested interests out to tarnish their image. But the monks laid the foundation for the bombing by their campaign against the concert because it falls on the first death anniversary of the late Soma Thera.
Well the date is indeed the first death anniversary according to the christian calendar but certainly not according to the buddhist calendar. So it seems the monks who want to take away your right to convert to another religion may have converted to christianity.
