Over the past months Sri Lankans have been educated on two Arabic words: halal and haram (that which is permissible and not permissible). Unfortunately the circumstances of learning have been an unprecedented antagonism towards the Muslim community much deeper than the halal issue. This trend must be addressed without delay by the government and all religions before it spirals into a much wider conflict, which the country can ill afford.By Bishop Duleep de ChickeraVia http://groundviews.org/2013/03/25/inter-religious-integration-in-sri-lanka-inclusion-not-intrusion/source: Groundviews
