Well, if you hadn’t already heard about it, I give you some ‘Google News‘ feeds above.
Though I have NOT been a Sri Lanka citizen or subject as of 1983 I still have to kind of identify myself as one since I was born there. So, to see headlines like this distresses I, no end. [Just for the record, I am a very proud & patriotic Brit.]
It was just like the infamous ‘Shoe Bomber‘ in 2001. He was initially thought to be Sri Lankan. I took a LOT of grief & abuse. He proved to be far from Sri Lankan. He was British.
This NZ maniac, who has now been identified by the Sri Lankan authorities as ‘Ahamed Adhil Mohamed Samsudeen‘ is, alas, a Sri Lankan. So, we have to deal with that. But, I lay quite a BIT of the blame with the (lovely, generous & kind) New Zealanders. Yes, I do.
This maniacal idiot entered NZ on a student visa in 2008. That was NZ’s call.
Less than 10% of Sri Lankan’s are Muslims & most of them are NOT radical!
So, it is kind of unfair that there is now a perception that Sri Lanka has radical muslims.
NZ had this idiot in JAIL for 3-years. They only released him 2-months ago. AGAIN, NZ’s call.
NZ could have deported him.
I am hugely fond of NZ & its good people. But, in this instance their kindness has yet again been abused.
I just wanted to present the Sri Lankan side.
