This is true.
No Christian majority country officially celebrates and provides holidays for the sacred days of non-Christian traditions, despite calling themselves “multicultural.”
Only two Muslim majority countries officially provide space for minority religions – Malaysia and Bangladesh. However, this is a better record than Christian majority countries.
]]>A civilised society or nation, through its judicial system, makes a criminal to understand that his criminal acts are wrong, unacceptable and punishable by mankind. Then, the people also get a clear message that criminality will always go with accountability for the crime in a court of law.
Sinhalese soldiers committed war crimes by killing about 40,000 Tamil civilaians and displacing about 300,000 persons from their homes, during the third week of May last year.
The soldiers who committed those war crimes should have been by now arrested, handcuffed, locked up behind bars as dangerous criminals and brought to justice.
Instead, this week of atrocious and barbaric Tamil genocidal acts of 2009 is being celeberated as “war heroes week”; confirming that the governement in colombo is a colonial master, militarily occupying Tamil Eelam(TE).
Obviously, the principle that is being applied is “a colonial master can kill his colonial subjects and need not be brought to justice”.
Therefore, responsibility for Tamil lives in TE is non existent and accountability by the Sri Lankan state is absent.
IF Adolf Hitler would have won the war with the Allied Forces in 1940′s, the war criminals who committed the genocide of Jews would have been called “war heroes” to this day, and the world would have consequently turned out to be a massive genocidal theatre.
Although, one year has passed since the genocidal massacre, the UN and the International Community, though obliged, have not taken any concrete action to punish the war criminals in SL.
Such an attitude will definitely send a wrong signal to rogue regimes to commit similar crimes against humanity.
]]>It is believed that the moon, like the other planets, exerts a considerable degree of influence on human beings. Our human body consists of about seventy percent liquid. It is accepted by physicians that our bodily fluids flow more freely at the time of full moon. Researchers have found that certain phases of the moon not only affect humans and animals, but also influence plant life and other elements.
In view of the possible influence of the moon, the ancient sages advised the people to refrain from various commitments on this particular day and take it easy for the day. They are advised to relax their minds on this particular day and to devote their time to spiritual pursuits.
