Catholic Church the Main Promoter of Terrorism in Sri Lanka

Article Summary by: sena234     

Original Author: Palitha Senanayake
This article is on the web at http://groups.google.com/group/soc.culture.s ri-lanka/browse_thread/thread/3bf2af99f6d7a23/c99f351394bede20%23c99f351394bede20.This
article claims that the Roman Cathlic Church in Sri Lanka acts as the main propaganda arm of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, who are fighting for a separate state for the Tamil people in Sri Lanka. According to the author, an organization called the National Peace Council is guided by the Catholic Church and attempts to justify the heinous crimes committed by the Tamil Tigers.The author takes the Catholic Church to task for advocating negotiations with the Tamil Tigers. He criticizes the Church for marshalling international opinion against the Government of Sri Lanka, thereby making Sri Lanka a pariah state in the eyes of the international community.It appears to me that the article is an unbalanced one, possibly designed to fan the flames of anti-Christian hatred among the majority Buddhist community.
