(April 08, Killinochchi , Sri Lanka Guardian) Sri Lankan government Security forces are indiscriminately shelling Madu, Our Lady, Holy Church in Mannar for past few weeks and Madu shrine was damaged due to the intense shelling from the SF since the Our Lady Statue taken away from Madu.K. Baskaran, a photographer who visited the Madu church on Sunday have taken the pictures which shows the extent of the damage to the shrine from the Forces shelling on Madu church "Any desecration of Madu is likely to be understood as an effort of the Sinhala Buddhist chauvinism to erase out the symbols of other religions and thus serving a spiritual blow which is the most dreaded stage in the process of ethnic cleansing," Vanni District Parliamentarian Selvam Adaikkalanathan told a news media on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the Liberation Tigers (LTTE) Political Head B. Nadesan on Monday sent an urgent letter to Norwegian International Development Minister Erik Solheim, placing a request to the Royal Norwegian Government to take steps to immediately end the military assault of the holy Madu shrine in Mannaar district.
Our Lady of Madu has become a refugee in her own land, the Bishop of Mannaar said on last Thursday after the removal of the Our Lady from the Madu.
To a Tamil mind it reminds of the plight of the two chief deities of Tamil Saivism and Vaishnavism, who had to be carried away to escape vandalism at the hands of the Muslim rulers of medieval times.

It is the intention of the government to wipe out Christianity from the island. So this is nothing new and there will more destruction of churches to come.
Wrong Wrong Wrong!!! LTTE's intention to wipe out everyone. They do not care a person, place or thing; they do jerk work anyways. We can build a Madhu church easily, but can we cannot build a good politician in a week like Jeyaraj or any other politician. This is why we need to eliminate LTTE no matter what. LTTE do all kinds of dirty work to Madhu and says army does it the international community. When LTTE hide behind the Madhu church and attack from behind it. We cannot just stay back and relax. This is not destroying churches, this is destroying the root of terrorism. Do not miss interprit son. LTTE killed Dimbulagala monk also jumping in to temples too? We have not forgotten those too. Killing monks will make them suffer not this life time but forever. It is one of the biggest sins you can ever do.
It is the same old story from the terrorists and its goons, that sinhala Buddhists trying to destroy other races and religions. This is like an old gramophone record. If the so called Religious catholic terrorists have any respect to Christianity they would not be hiding behind a religious place of worship and store arms and ammunition. They should come forward and fight like they boast about. Tamil terrorists are a bunch of cowards who are famous to hide behind innocent men women and children. After failing that now they are trying to hide behind churches who are supporting them through negligence or fear.
Common you gutless terrorists and its sympathisers, how long do you think you can con people like this?
To all those sympathisers I am asking you to save the Tamil generation as it is the Tamil race that will be the second race in Sri Lanka very soon. You have been blind long enough and if you really care for your people get off your bike and fight to save the Tamils from being wiped out by the Psychopath VP. You still have time.

ONE MORE form of highest acts of sacrilege was reported from the newly captured PARAPPAKANDAL area when the terrorists, as all evidence pointed to, has used a Catholic Church as their base of terrorist operations against the troops.
these Tiger terrorists has use churches as their bunkers.
LTTE using the Holy MADHU Church as a cover attacked the troops.
Again on 12 February 2008, LTTE fired artillery at the soldiers cleaning the premises of ST. SEBESTIAN’S CHURCH, TALLADY causing damages to the church.
The attack injured ten soldiers.
LTTE using the Holy MADHU Church as a cover attacked the troops.
Again on 12 February 2008, LTTE fired artillery at the soldiers cleaning the premises of ST. SEBESTIAN’S CHURCH, TALLADY causing damages to the church.
The attack injured ten srilankan army soldiers who went to clean the church on 12 th of february 2008.
TIGER TERRORISTS with no regard for noble ideals of Jesus Christ Tuesday (12) morning, in what termed to be another sacrilegious act of the meanest degree bombed ST SEBASTIAN’S Church in TALLADY, MANNAR compound while its pastors, clergy and a team of soldiers were busy clearing the premises.
Fathers Rev DEVARAJA, Rev ARUN RAJ, Rev NEVIN, Rev KULLAS and Brother LEXTON, five of them from diocese on Monday (11) after meeting the ground commanders in TALLADY Army camp sought the assistance of the Army troops in the nearby camp to carry out some cleaning work in the church premises since it has remained neglected for some time.
When fighting with terrorist you cannot expect to save the church specially when they hiding in the church building. It is not a secret that Madu church pump money to LTTE in the past.
When Christ is not the center of the church there is not true Christianity in it.
In fact, in true Christianity, it is sin against God to worship idols.
No matter what, if statue is 400 years old it is man made powerless God, depend on man to carry everywhere. If it has any power, it is from the devil.
God’s fist commandment to mankind given to Mosses, (In the bible)
Exodus 20: 3
“Thou shall have no other God’s before me. Thou shall not make any graven image, or any likeness…. Thou shall not bow down to them.”
True Christianity written in the Holy Bible, not in the book of Pope.
If some one want to open your eyes form blind faith, check true God’s word in the bible.
On line bible.

Read about idol worship in the bible: Jeremiah 10:1 to 6, Isaiah 46: 6
Now the holy satue of Mother of Madu has been taken to a safer place,LTTE or the GOSL can flattern the church, and we will rebuilt a new church once again without any terrorists.
After sometimes these terrorist killers will make arrangements to take Holy Madhu Statue to Brabhakaran's room to save that killer's life. No matter at what cost LTTE and TNA will try to protect terrorism, even all other relegions are destroyed.. I wonder whether Mannar Bishop would allow that too to happen rather than asking democratically elected Government's protection..
Also, let me put something important to mention. We should ask from LTTE why Madhu is so important when Temple of the Tooth was attacked couple years back and consider it was not imporant as Madhu. Why LTTE did not think temple of the tooth in Kandy is a holy place as Madhu church?
Tigers’ crocodile tears
It is ironic that the tiger terrorists shed crocodile tears over the Holy Church of out Lady in Mannar just two days after they brutally killed a prominent Tamil Christian politician near Colombo.
The assassination of the prestigious Tamil Christian politician JEYARAJ FERNANDOPULLE on April 06 makes a mockery of the terrorists accusation against the government of ethnic cleansing.
Tamil Christian leader of the caliber of JEYARAJ FERNANDOPULLE by his role in mainstream politics, working arm in arm with Sinhala Buddhists belied the charges of Sinhala Buddhist chauvinism.
The government led by the H.E President MAHINDA RAJAPAKSA represent all communities the Sinhalese the Tamils, the Moors and the Malay whose prominent leaders such as Hon. Ministers and Deputy Ministers form a formidable group in the government party. The government party leaders belong to all major religions Buddhism Christianity. Islam and Hinduism. In fact, there are Government Departments under Ministries of Buddhist Affairs, Christian Affairs, Muslim Affairs and Hindu Affairs.
It is a well-known fact that the LTTE has been using the Madu Church as a shield to launch attacks against the security forces of the democratically elected government of the sovereign state of Sri Lanka thus putting it in a vulnerable position. The security forces have treated the Church with utmost respect and as a no war zone.
Meanwhile legislators of the Tamil National Alliance have been using the Parliament as a platform to protest against the government as any other Opposition party and enjoy all the privileges entitled to them.
Another significant factor is the vast majority of Tamil people live in harmony among the Sinhalese in Colombo, its suburbs and the plantations.
LTTE bombed the church. Their stratergy is to Show the world that the Sri Lankan army destroyed the church. As the ltte is loosing the war they desperately do things like this.
