you need to read real history not Sinhala Buddhist propaganda and the so called Tamil terrorism was a product of Sinhala Buddhism fascism.
^^^ Looks who's crying wolf and shedding crocodile tears for Muslims !

In 1915, Dharmapala wrote: "The Muhammedans, an alien people... by Shylockian methods became prosperous like the Jews. The Sinhalese sons of the soil, whose ancestors for 2,358 years had shed rivers of blood to keep the country free from alien invaders are in the eyes of the British only vagabonds."
The Sinhalese are "sons of the soil," while the Muslims are "alien" and even "Shylockian." Does this sound familiar?
Inflammatory writing in publications Dharmapala's Sinhala Bauddhaya and Piyadasa Sirisena's Sinhala Jathiya fueled anti-Muslim sentiment in the island and is believed to have culminated in the anti-Muslim riots that year.
Dharmapala hailed the anti-Muslim violence. "The peaceful Sinhalese have at last shown that they can no longer bear the insult of the alien," he wrote. "The whole nation in one day has risen against the Moor [Muslims] people."
It is in the context of this Sinhalese-Buddhist triumphalism that the recent aggression against Muslims and other religious minorities and their places of worship must be seen.
In September last year, a mosque in Anuradhapura, an ancient Buddhist city and United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization world heritage site, was demolished by a mob. The monk who led that attack told BBC that the mosque was built on land given to Sinhalese Buddhists 2,000 years ago; hence the attack.
