Nobody's ignoring the LTTE, but they haven't existed for years, so they're not really relevant to this situation, are they?
Check again. Zen Buddhism was one of the strongest driving forces behind Japanese militarism throughout WWII, and the kamikaze attacks were inspired by Zen Buddhist ideology.
A number of post-war Buddhist leaders have since apologised for this.
That is Japan 74 years ago,and Sri Lanka practices Buddhism which is of the Theravada branch which is different. Where is this call for Sri Lankan Buddhists to explode themselves?There is no precidence for that from what I see,even 30 years ago.
Most of the problems have been when crowds of people go and fight with each other,which is also what happens in India too. Even your own article states as much. The "monks" you talk about are members of a political party called the BBS,who are nationalists and whose leader was jailed for 6 years recently for his activities.
The Christians who died are not only Tamil but Sinhalese people(the majority who make up the Buddhists). 75% of the population is Sinhalese,and 70% are Buddhist. You do the math.
Also, this which was mentioned before your previous post:

The police already warned that a group might cause issues and was acting on foreign intelligence. There also was something in the news about some people flying from Sri Lanka who had been questioned by police over here last week using terrorism laws. Why would foreign intelligence know about some local Buddhist plot. I dunno it seems implausible to me. I could be wrong.
From watching the news,some analysts think this might have been more foreign involvement in planning this.
So it could be less down to local problems,but more down to the wider problems happening currently.

. What is wrong with these brain dead morons who think it is perfectly acceptable to kill innocent people practising their faith. That goes for any place of worship in any case.
