A mosque used by the National Thawheed Jama'at (NTJ) at Madatugama in Kekirawa was yesterday demolished by the area Muslims and devotees of the main mosque.

Trustee of the main mosque M.H.M. Akbar Khan said the mosque used by the NTJ was built with the funds of an organization based in a foreign country.

He said they had decided to demolish the mosque considering the current situation in the country and said there was no need of two mosques. (Kanchana Kumara Ariyadasa)

these muslims should not demolish mosque, as divide and conquer seems to be the way muslims will loose. these muslims who a demolishing the mosque should pray that the curse of demolishing a mosque doesnt come to them.

Prabakaran could do a 30 year war because no Tamil passed any information about them. Muslims helped the government finish off the problem within days. But it is sad to see government is still harassing the Muslims and turning a blind eye towards those who attack Muslims.

To face the current situation Muslims demolished a trouble-makers mosque. Some asked and got a trouble-maker released from prison!

How come Sinhalese do not stand up to extremists in their presence and instead release all of them from jail

As a Buddhist, demolishing mosques is a crime. Those can be converted into traditional mosques, to avoid extremism.

Given their religious teaching this action needed immense courage, believing God will not punish them. It could clever deception too.
