Both mother and son must be Sri Lanka Sinhala Buddhists or Wahabis. This is a characteristic of thee these two groups.
Or, were they Hindu before the introduction of Buddhism?
Clearly, they have taken lessons from CENSORED Sena.
If they have taken lessons from true Buddhists, this would not have happened.
Insula appears to be a deranged diaspora tamil supporting LTT rump in nefarious activities.
Insula has entered the Onlanka blogsite to sow disuntiy amongst the Sinhala Buddhist citizens who are peace loving and generous towards minorities.
Insula has apparently forgotten that the it was the sons and daughters of Sinhala Buddhists who laid down their young lives to save the tamil speaking citizens from the clutches of the meglomaniac, Velu Prabhakaran.
If the sons and daughters of the Sinhala Buddhists had shown no concern for the fellow tamil speaking citizens, Mr Velu would have by now, driven all of them to a certain death.
