Attacks on churches in Sri Lanka

A report received from a well-wisher in Sri Lanka

There have been many attacks on Christian churches in Sri Lanka over the past two months. The Sri Lankan media has not covered it and the international media also largely ignored the issue. Buddhist crowds had been angered by illicit conversions.

When similar attacks on Christian churches took place in India, the Indian press went berserk. The international media followed suit. The difference between media coverage on incidents in India and Sri Lanka can be attributed to the local press in both countries.

The Communist Party of Sri Lanka issued a statement condemning unethical conversions as a threat to the social fabric and inter-religious harmony in Sri Lanka. The Communist Party of India will never issue a statement like that.

Finally, the Conference of Bishops of the Roman Catholic Church in Sri Lanka also issued a statement condemning unethical conversions. They called for Christian Buddhist unity. The contrast with their counterparts in India can not be more striking.

India is different because of its anti-Hindu Nehruvian secular establishment. Change them - and your problem in solved in large measure.
