I appreciate the responsible behavior of religious leaders (especially Catholic & Cristian) after this tragedy.

And my answer to your question why well educated and wealthy youth sacrificed their life in this event is that they may have been brain washed in the name of their religion where they were made to believe such acts would send them to heaven straight away.

Who is government?  President is in China with 27 people.

Are forces doing a good job? Yes I agree.

To see 72 virgins ?  Islamism  doesn't say that to my knowledge.

How about an Islam follower here clarify on the issue.
You can help to spread peace this way  

To see 72 virgins ?  Islamism  doesn't say that to my knowledge.

Abu Umama narrated: "The Messenger of God said, 'Everyone that God admits into paradise will be married to 72 wives; two of them are houris and seventy of his inheritance of the [female] dwellers of hell. All of them will have libidinous sex organs and he will have an ever-erect penis.' " (Sunan Ibn Majah, Book 39)

Reg 72 Virgins :

From what I understand yes,  Quran speaks of “Houris”,   gazelle-eyed individuals with intensely black and white  eyes , a  concept of the perfect female individual.  

But some call them virgins but the Quran doesn’t seem suggest such ( to my knowledge)

They’re mentioned in 4 places  directly:

44:54 "Thus. And We will marry them to fair women with large, beautiful eyes"

52:20 "They will be reclining on thrones lined up, and We will marry them to fair women with large,beautiful eyes"

55:72 "Fair ones reserved in pavilions",

56:22 "And [for them are] fair women with large, beautiful eyes"


No  number of 72 or the word “virgin” is mentioned  as far as I understand in quran.  


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yes these 72 virgin theory comes from Hadith.

Time for true Islam followers to comment here.

Media/Politicians/Clergy suppose to build great nations in the world, yet in Sri Lanka these 3 parties only care about them selves and their needs. Buddha/Jesus/Muhammad and all the other leaders showed you a clear path,but later on some cunning selfish people from each religion wrote books and put their agendas for us to follow as a religion.

MY3 goes to china with 27 men while
extremists trying to see 72 virgins.what a coincidence ....


LTTE had a common purpose for killings and attacks . But what about this ? How can we face such devils who blow up their own children with them ? Day by day science & technology is developing but still whole world cant beat this kind of terrorism.why is that ? A person who has air craft engineering degree is believing in fairy tales of 72 virgins .So these types of mentalities cant cured by modern education or techniques.

Though we are polite ,kind ,gentle from the surface , there is a beast who thirst for blood,violence is living beneath it.  we try to hide the beast while living in the society ,but when the opportunity comes beast arise . Look how many applicants has been applied for the post of HANGMAN ? Some degree holders too.Are they so desperate to find a job? Nope. A chance to unleash the beast. Thats it. Islamic extremist lecturers show a path for unleash that beast with some religious wrapping .

The failure of the government to restore  confidence after the Attack (which is exacerbated due to the fact that Curfew had been imposed  again after few quite days ),

Below far results of the Bottom line of the banks and other ( HNB , MGT ) due to taxes and NPL ( In fact Top line is better But who cares)

+ the Panic selling.
