Re: Sri Lanka Easter bombings.

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) joins the rest of the international community in condemning in the strongest possible terms, the unprecedented terrorist attack which saw carnage within two vital institutions of Sri Lanka's symbol of hope; namely the institution of faith and the state's institution of tourism.

These events prematurely bring an end to the 10th year anniversary toast of peace within Sri Lanka's borders. The 18th of May which marks the 10th year anniversary of Sri Lanka's decades of civil war, will not be as joyful as was hoped.

It has been reported, 24 suspects was arrested after the series of church and hotel bombings on Easter Sunday which killed 290 people and wounded 500. A so called local "Islamist group" known as National Towheed Jamath is believed to be behind the attack. Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) is calling on Sri Lanka's Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe to deliver swift justice, bringing those responsible to account.

Real ugly truth has raised its head in Sri Lanka. Truth that highlights Prime Minister Ranil's incompetence in safeguarding his people and the possibility of someone or something trying desperately to oust him from power. As for those who are associating this attack with Muslims and Islam - This is not Islam - Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front)  is distancing itself from any reference that "National Towheed Jamath" is an "Islamist group" or associated with Muslims or Islam. That's a different way of life to what we know and practice. That there is not a religion, it's a product of a failed response, a failed social structure, a failed education system, and a failed state. It's an end product that cuts through the fabric of integration, inclusion and religious tolerance.

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) is calling on everyone to condemn this vile and heinous act of terror and to demand swift justice. Let us send a clear message to these  dastardly bastards that their kind are not welcomed in this world.
