  OPEN LETTER to Mr. Paul Williams, Ex MP Netherlands

Dear Sir:

Regarding your statement on Sri Lanka and your attempt at "warning" the Sri
Lankan government that the Kosovo example could be applied to Sri Lanka, it
is obvious that you have just a superficial knowledge of the terrorist
problems in Sri Lanka. I could rebut your statement line by line but am
restricting myself to the most blatant falsehoods in your attempt at
"warning".

To begin with is your assumption of an "oppressed minority". The assumption
that the minority is "oppressed" is just that, an assumption because there
is no substantiation of "oppression" which is the propaganda of the Tamil
terrorists. For your information, the Tamils have the same rights as anyone
else in Sri Lanka.

The Sri Lankan government ended the ceasefire in January 2008, the LTTE had

  'Just a true Canadian': alleged Tiger bagman         


Author: Sinna Manni

MAPLE, Ont. -Prapa Thambithurai lives in a suburban duplex north of Toronto,
near the looping roller coaster tracks and fake theme park mountains of
Canada's Wonderland.

"I'm just a true Canadian," is how he described himself.

But police allege the 45-year-old satellite dish installer, who emigrated
from Sri Lanka two decades ago, is also a bagman for the Tamil Tigers, the
guerrilla group that pioneered suicide bombings.

Two weeks ago, Mr. Thambithurai became the first person charged under
Canada's terrorism financing law, which makes it a crime to collect money
knowing it "will be used by or will benefit a terrorist group."

Part of the Anti-Terrorism Act brought in after 9/11, the law has been on
the books for more than six years, but nobody had ever been charged until
Mr. Thambithurai's car was pulled over in New Westminster, B.C. on the night
of March 14.

Police seized more than $1,000 in cash as well as pledge forms, Mr.
Thambithurai told the National Post this week in his first public comments
since his arrest.

Question: Is denouncing NAZI literature as
"fascist" and "inciting people to murder" ...
"clearly crass and self-serving exercises that
pay lip service to the idea of freedom of
speech while being little more than vehicles
for xenophobia?"
