හලාල් පිළිබඳ ගැටලු දැන් විසඳී හමාරයි

ආයෝජන ප්‍රවර්ධන නියෝජ්‍ය අමාත්‍ය  - ෆයිසර් මුස්තාපා

හලාල් අර්බුදයක් ගැන අපේ රටේ බොහෝ දෙනෙකු කතා කරනවා. වාද විවාද කරනවා. අදහස් පළ කරනවා. ඇත්තටම මොකක්ද මේ හලාල් කියන්නේ. මේ වචනයේ නිවැරදි අර්ථය මොකක්ද? ඔව්, ඇත්තවශයෙන් අද “හලාල්” ගැන වාද විවාද කරන ඇතැමෙක් ඒ වචනයේ නිවැරදි තේරුමවත් දන්නේ නැහැ. මුස්ලිම් ආගමට අනුකූලදේට අප “හලාල්” කියා කියනවා. මුස්ලිම් ආගමට අනුකූලව එම වතාවත්වලට අනුව සකස්කළ ආහාරවලට අප “හලාල්” ආහාර ලෙස කියනවා.

උදාහරණයක් ලෙස බෞද්ධයින් බොහෝදෙනකු නිර්මාංශ ආහාරවලට ප්‍රිය කරනවා. නමුත් ඇතැම් කේක් වර්ග, බිස්කට් වර්ග වැනි ආහාර, නිර්මාංශද යන්න සොයාගැනීම අපහසුයි. එය නිර්මාංශ බව හඟවන සලකුණක් යොදා සහතික කර ඇත්නම් එය නිර්මාංශිකයින්ට පහසුවක්. හලාල් සලකුණත් එවැනිම සලකුණක්. ලාංඡනයක්

Chief Government Whip Dinesh Gunawardena commenting on the rising communal tensions in Sri Lanka said no organisation could take the law into its hands under the pretext of protecting religion

“The law of the country has to prevail, no organisation can take the law into their hands under the pretext of protecting a religion,” he said.

The minister said the Cabinet sub-committee would hold a crucial meeting in this regard this afternoon.

When asked about the government’s passivity in the entire issue, he said the government was committed to uphold communal harmony.

“We won’t let any sort of communal conflict occur in this country and we are doing everything possible to prevent such a thing. There are many working tirelessly behind the scenes regarding this matter,” he said. (H.F)

இலங்கை வாழ் முஸ்லிம்களது சன்மார்க்க விவகாரங்களில் இறுதித் தீர்மானமெடுக்கும் உயர் சபையாக அ.இ.ஜ.உ இருக்கிறது என்பதில் எவ்வித சந்தேகமுமில்லை. ஆனால் மார்க்க விடயங்களில் அவர்கள் தேர்ச்சி பெற்றிருந்தாலும் மனித வாழ்வுடன் நாட்டு விவகாரங்களுடன் சம்பந்நப்பட்ட விவகாரங்கள் அனைத்திலும் அவர்களுக்குத் தெளிவும் அனுபவமும் இருக்கும் என எதிர்பார்ப்பது முறையல்ல. எனவே, சமூகத்தில் தோன்றும் சகல துறைப் பிரச்சினைகளிலும் உலமா சபையே முடிவெடுக்க வேண்டும் எனக் கூறமுடியாது.

Muslims write to UN over threats

March 7, 2013

Muslims in Sri Lanka have written to the United Nations over the threats faced by them as a result of the recent campaign carried out by the Bodu Bala Sena.

The Muslim Tamil National Alliance, in a letter sent to UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon, said that what’s disturbing is that radical members of the Buddhist clergy are allowed to take the law into their hands, with the enforcers of the law watching from the sidelines.

THE PROPHET DESCRIBED

Muhammad, peace be upon him, was a shy, reticent man who lived among his people with such high moral character they called him al-Amîn - the Trustworthy.

The Prophet's unique physical appearance, his high character and willingness to sacrifice for others, are often at the essence of any description of him. According to the narrations from his Companions he can be described in the following words:

Muhammad was imposing and majestic. His face was luminous like a full moon.

He was taller than medium but not excessive in height. He had wavy hair, which he parted and it never went beyond his shoulders. He was light-skinned with a high brow. He had full eyebrows and a small space between them. His beard was full, his eyes black. His physique was supple and lithe, with a full chest and broad shoulders. When he walked, he was determined and his pace was as if he was walking down hill.

President of Sri Lanka,

Anti-Muslim Hate Campaign: The Government Must Act Decisively

Dear President Rajapaksa,

The Friday Forum urges you to act immediately and decisively to counter the increasingly venomous and strident anti-Muslim hate campaign launched by a few extremist groups claiming to represent the majority Sinhala community.

As you are aware, this campaign has intensified over the past several months. The country has witnessed attacks against mosques, and the circulation, on social media, public posters and web-sites, of obscene and vituperative messages that are offensive to religious beliefs. It has witnessed anti-Muslim public rallies and processions, including a call to boycott Muslim business establishments.

Shouldn’t hate speech be banned? By RMB Samaranayke

The Island 06/03/13

Recently, some persons, including some Buddhist monks, carried out a hate campaign against members of the Muslim community through public meetings and on the Internet. Several mosques have also been attacked and some Muslim traders have been targeted by unruly crowds calling upon them to close their businesses.

Should such hate speech be banned in a democracy? Liberals oppose any ban on freedom of   speech. They not only uphold the right of free speech but say that trying to stamp out hate speech curtails the debate that would ultimately discredit such speech. This is the viewpoint in the western democracies. Although freedom of expression is very important there’s a fine line where our beliefs and opinions may offend others who belong to a different group. Hate speech is not as it were an intellectual debate or discussion but speech specifically directed at inciting people to violence against a particular group of people.
