Ummm... no, sorry to burst your bubble, but the war in Sri Lanka wasn't over religion. It was over civil rights and liberties and the share of power between the Sinhalese and the Tamils. Nothing to do with religion whatsoever.
I do have a lot to comment about wrt Hindu-Muslim relationships as I am from a country that was ROYALLY SCREWED over when the Arabs / Persians / Turks / Moghuls began invading our lands beginning in the 10th century, but will desist from such a discussion at this point as that would constitute the mother of all thread hijacks.
My deepest condolences to the Parisians.
Repose en paix, les victimes, et en mai justice soit rendue rapidement.
