"BSS General Secretary Galagoda Aththe Gnanasara argues that "everything is the fault of the local and international media and the Muslim extremist groups who have spread false propaganda around the world." Dressed in a saffron robe that leaves his shoulder exposed, Gnanasara told Efe his followers do not have a problem with moderate Muslims, but stressed that Muslim fundamentalist extremism was secretly on the increase in the country. Figures, however, do not corroborate the monk's claim, as 70 percent of Sri Lanka's total population is Buddhist, while Hindus account for 15 percent, Muslims 11 percent and Christians -also considered radicals by the BBS- account for 7 percent." http://www.laprensasa.com/309_america-in-english/2935841_radical-buddhists-the-violent-face-of-a-peaceful-religion.html
