#1 The Sri Lankan navy has killed at least 41 separatist rebels

Guess the proper term "Mooslum terrorist" is to PC for the press magots.

I'm betting that their camels don't swim. "Allan Ackbarned!"

#2 Actually Ice,

The Sri Lanka civil war is the result of Tamil's which are a Hindu/Christian group ethnically the same as Indians from the Tamil Nadu State in Southern India. The Muslim population is for the most part non-violent and sides with the government and or ethnic Singhalese majority. Sri Lankan muslims comprise about 10% of the population and are of the Sufi/non-violent sect. I would imagine if they were to become a larger minority problems could develop. As long as the Saudi's and Wahabs are kept at bay Sri Lanka might be OK.

#3 Sufi mysticism isn't necessarily non-violent, although apparently the Sri Lankan Muslims are both Sufi and non-violent.

#4 Sufi mysticism isn't necessarily non-violent,

Yup...
Jihad Watch Bostom Sufism Without Camouflage (Beyond Stephen Schwartz)
Also, north africa was traditionally sufi (now, wahabism & salafism are in the process of supplanting it), this didn't prevent the natives of engaging in slavery, piracy,... nor did it stopp the fln butchers to cut babies in pieces and put them back in the belly of their slaughtered mothers...
