<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->Are the Sri Lankan 'Buddhists' pseudo-buddhists? They are acting like the Taliban. At least the Taliban were following their religion when wiping out the Bamiyan Buddhas and so were the hordes of Islamofascists who brought down the Buddhist temples in India long ago.
But these losers aren't Buddhist at all. Hopefully they weren't hypocrites to complain about the Taliban's actions in Afghanistan.

Were there any devotees in the Muruga temple when it was destroyed? How many were killed or got hurt? Sigh. What is the world coming to.
