Sri Lanka rejects Israeli rescuers

I guess they'd rather have people die then let their political agendas get in the way.

Neither side has officially explained the change of plan, although some reports say the objection came from Sri Lanka's military.

Sri Lanka Ambassador Diffa Digeratna is quoted by Jerusalem Post as saying that the change was due to the "the lack of accommodations in Colombo".

My reading was that they weren't happy with the presence of soldiers, but the other resquers are still going.

Go Muslims, show us the love of the Qur'an.

This has what to do with the Quran again?

It is obvious what is going on here.

irwincur, you're as dense as a clotted cream. Muslims are a minority in Sri Lanka, and while influential, they're not determining its policy. Just read the link, it makes clear that the military did not want Israeli sodiers to come (which might be prudent in their minds). I can imagine that if Iran or Syria wanted to send a platoon or two of soldiers to Israel in the event of a disaster, Israel would have responded the same way.

Alot of people here would reject Muslim aid workers.

How the heck did you came to that conclusion? Maybe instead of bashing America all the time, be thankful we contribute the most to world aid efforts.

I also don't think America would reject any nation because of their religion if we needed their help if a disaster like this happend in the U.S. If the U.S did that then it wouldn't be the best country in the world. Every nation, Every religion, everyone wants to come to the United States.

I wouldn't reject them unless they start suicide-bombing and preaching Quran and Allah to us.
and how can a muslim minority head/control all of the decisons of the Sri Lanka. They needs to adopt democracy fast.

I meant alot of the people I live around. Here as in Amarillo, TX. I apologize for the misunderstanding. Amarillo is full of redneck and skinhead bastards. The only mosque here is constantly watched by the police due to numerous burgleries, assaults, and vandalism. These are the people who believe in God and Country and death to everything else. Those that don't care unless it's American Christians dying.
Again yes I didn't mean America, or AT P&N.

There is one mosque here in town and it's under constant serviellence due to assaults, and vandalism. The Muslims (no matter where they are from) here are constantly being verbally and physically assailed. It's quite frightening.

Again yes I didn't mean America, or AT P&N.

This is southern Texas or northern Texas? I know a lot of Muslims who are going to Texas recently because of job offers.

That's crazy. I live in Virginia and we have our share of rednecks. I've never seen a mosque vandalized though. I looked at the one near my house right after 9/11, but never saw anything. They are even allowed to park at a Christian Church and cross the street because the mosque parking lot doesn't have enough room for them to park. At nights there is always cops there too doing their paperwork.

After 9/11 we rejected an offer by castro to send 1,000 doctors to NY.

but if they started preaching the bible and jesus to us it would be all fine and dandy??? :roll:

 

[MySoS]

The Muslims don't controle Sri Lanka, most of the people in power if not all of them are Buddhist. The reason they objected was they disliked the percentage of military people being sent.

Amarillo is in the Panhandle, which is Northwest TX.

[LocutusX]

The BBC story actually says that it was the SL Military who had issue, and they didn't like the fact that 60 Israeli soldiers would be coming along.
Seems pretty plausible to me, most countries don't really like having foreign soldiers on their soil eh?

This thread goes to show you how very little the people on P&N know about the rest of the world.
