LTTE atacks Catholic Priest and Churches - Legacy of Prabhakaran

"We were in VELLAYANMADAM. Most of the others went to VELLAMULLIWAIKKAL but we, sisters and brothers remained in VELLAYANMADAM, in a bunker. Army came to the area in the morning and rescued us. People are awaiting to come to Army controlled areas", said Rev. Brother Sri Rangan, who escaped the LTTE grip and arrived in cleared areas along with 20 - member group of Catholic priests.

A sincere and heartfelt thank you to the HIS excellency, president Mahinda Rajapakse and the infallible armed forces of Sri Lanka. Commemorations to all our fallen heroes. A momentary silence will not drown the eternal silence that overpowered your youthful spirit. But you will be remembered every single day as the sunshine on this free nation united by every drop of blood you shed. I thank you with all my heart and I am forever in debt to each and everyone of you in our unique armed forces....

PLEASE....donate to any cause of your choice which would help our brave heroes re-establish their lives.

May the Triple Gem Bless my Country, Sri Lanka and her gallant leaders, protectors and all peace loving citizens.

@Chamath5A There are times when democracy isn't necessarily a good thing. Slavery in America was crushed despite its democratic ideals. However I do not believe majority of Sri Lankans feel Sinhalese are a superior race. That is simply not true. Sri Lanka is a nation for all. Our president made that fully clear. Are are one nation. One people. I has a Sri Lankan fully intend to live up to that. We are born equal. Our actions set us apart. :)

@Chamath5A We are the "powerful?" Haha! We are powerful as ONE! Sinhalese, Tamil, Muslims - everyone! I as a Sinhalese Buddhist in Sri Lanka don't for a moment think I am superior to someone from a minority race! Buddhism hasn't taught me to rate people or to judge them. As a Buddhist I've only learned to love, respect and accept everyone. Lord Buddha never discriminated against anyone. He helped the poor, the rich, Kings, low caste people, Indians, Sri Lankans - EVERYONE.

@Chamath5A NO it's not! Our country is a multicultural and multi-religious. What he did is an act of terrorism. Catholic Priests and Churches have the same right to flourish in Sri Lanka as do Mosques, Imams, Buddhist Monks, and Hindu temples. I always thought we are a race of people who love and cherish diversity. I am saddened to find we are not. Attacks on Churches should be condemned. Is this what the war did to us? Did we go from being accepting to discriminating?
