A hardline Buddhist group in Sri Lanka launched a four-day campaign against “Christian fundamentalism” in the country as Christians face vicious attacks in ongoing efforts to stop their activities. Buddhist groups such as the Ravana Balaya are becoming increasingly militant in Sri Lanka, and as their agenda gathers greater support, attacks on Christians are becoming more frequent. In two recent incidents, Christians were hospitalized with injuries sustained in mob violence.
» The phenomenon of militant Buddhism in Sri Lanka is not limited to anti-Christian activity, but also includes violence against Muslims.
