Actions and deeds that disturb social peace and harmony are nothing new. And the offenders do not belong to one particular community. However a trend is emerging in Sri Lanka where those pontificating on this problem are very selective in their criticism. They go for the soft-target – the Sinhala Buddhists – making them appear the chief culprits.
Sri Lanka’s mainstream English press is dominated by such one-sided critics. They keep on harping Sri Lanka is a multireligious country though it is predominantly Buddhist. And when it comes to criticism it is Sinhala Buddhists who are shown in a bad light more than any other religious community.
