COLOMBO, Aug 1 (AFP) - Visiting Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf pledged Thursday to put pressure on Sri Lanka to work in the interest of its Muslim minority.

Musharraf met Thursday with Rauf Hakeem, the leader of the island's main Muslim party the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC), who briefed him on the plight of the island's Islamic community, particularly in the embattled northeast.


Muslims make up about 7.5 percent of Sri Lanka's 18.66 million population. The Tamils, who are mostly Hindus, account for 12.6 percent. The majority of the population are Sinhalese who are mainly Buddhists.

Musharraf also held talks in Colombo with Wickremesinghe and attended a banquet hosted by President Chandrika Kumaratunga. The two countries signed an agreement to remove trade barriers by 2005.

Pakistan was carved out of the British-ruled subcontinent in 1947 as a Muslim homeland.

  Nisala AKA kotiya paiyan or spin doctor,
  
  
  THIS IS SOOOO FUNNY AND INTERESTING, TIME HAS CHANGED EH! YOU ARE CALLING SL TAMILS NAZIS. LOOK BACK YOUR POST COLONIAL SINHALA HISTORY YOU WILL SEE WHO ARE ACTUALLY NAZIS. ALL THESE YEARS WE WERE AT THE RECEIVING END THANKS TPO PRABHKARAN HE CHANGED THE BLANCE OF POWER HERE. I AM GLAD PRABHKARAN GIVING YOU THE SAME MEDICINE BACK TO YOU. FOR SURE HAIL PRABHAKARAN..........
  
  That is just the Oath not a Nazi salute. Do you really want to see whose actions are more closer to Nazis. Go look at your( sinhalese) past actions which brought our beautiful country to this distruction and devastaion.
  
  What about Racial supremacy views of sinhala budhists. Go read Anakarika Dharmapala his teachings are more nazism than even Nazis have written.
  
  What about sinhala only law and budhism is the only religion in a multi lingual, multi religious,
  multi cultural country. This does not sound Nazism to you.
  
  What about Srilankan air force bombing srilankans. This aerial bombings not only worce than concentration camps but even similar to Saddam Husain's regime.
  
  What about your state sponsored colonization of Tamil lands and driving away Tamils from their traditional homeland. Is this not similar to deportaion of Jews?
  
  What about your Ethnic cleansing and cultural genocide. i.e Burning the Jaffna libraray and Tamil books. REMEMEBER NAZIS ALSO BURNT JEWISH BOOKS.
  
  What about 1983 pogrome and massacre OF TAMILS AND LOOTING AND BURNING THEIR SHOPS, racial riots. Exactly "CRISTALL NACHT" OF 1933.

  PRABHKARAN'S CHILDREN RECEIVE AN EXCELLENT EDUCATION while other Tamil childern are forced to do his Dream WAR

  Tiger Supreme Velupillai Prabhakaran's son and daughter had received excellent results in the G.C.E. (Ordinary Level) Examination held in December 200 conducted by the Department of Examinations, Sri Lanka. Prabhakaran Charles Anthony(son) who wrote for this examination under index no 25595970 in Wanni has obtained Distinction passes for all the subjects while Devaraga Prabhakaran(daughter) whose index number 25596608 has obtained 08 distinction passes and 01 credit pass. She had also obtained Distinction passes for all subjects with practicals.
  
  However almost all other children who sat for the same examination with Prabhakaran's son and daughter had received very poor results. The remarkable disparity observed between the results of the LTTE warlord Prabhakaran's children and that they have been paid a special attention in the examination and hence this could be a
  
  valuable material for psychological operations.
  
  When contacted a few Tamil academics for comments, they abruptly were highly perturbed to hear the Information. With great disgust they said that it is very wrong to send other Tamils children to war front while Prabakaran's children are comfortably obtaining excellent results from Examinations. Further is it a serious violation of human rights of the Tamil community.

  Children in the tigers do get educated probably to a far higher standard then you Sathya Wasudevan. I think you need to get your facts straight. Of course the children of the LTTE are educated they are our future. When we get the independent land which is rightfully ours, then it is up to us young tamils to make our country great, in the way we have not been able to do under sinhalese oppression. I wish people would stop trying to find fault in the tigers, if it wasnt the Ltte standing up for our rights, face it the majority tamil population in sri lanka would be cleaning toilets! People need to learn to get off there back sides and unite rather than sit there and moan.

  It of course very sad to see and hear all these things.I personally don't have anything against anyone.Look at multi racial,multi religious Malaysia.how they live together in harmony and sharing everything.Why can't you sri Lankans put all those anger behind and start living to gether.
  one day in future you'r childen will have to face the same problem and why not do something now.

  Move of Prez Mush, Indian Intelligence must be having other ideas. After all India is BigBrother in Indian SubContient.
  Nepal, Sikkim, Bangladesh, Srilanka all are minors for India. And Pak is the arrogant small one.
  And after all stastically - Pak is a small country with smaller economy.And Pak is Unstable.
