Picture about Mohamed (Sal) in Sinhala Newspaper in Sri Lanka
As we have noted, in many instances some Sinhala newspapers has been taking racial, discriminative stance in reporting about Muslim community and Islam. Rivira, Mawbima Lakbima and Divaina has taken very dangerous levels of hatred against Muslims by publishing biased and baseless articles about Muslims and Islam repeatedly.

In this sequence, on 24/07/2012 Mawbima has published an small article Prophet Mohammed with a picture of a person depicting him as the Prophet (I didn't post the full image here. I have cropped it). Not only that. There are many mistakes in the article too.

You can find the article here http://www.mawbima.lk/ct-admin/images/e_paper/5019.jpg

While appreciating their interest about introducing Prophet Mohammed to Sinhala readers, we should point out that we do not have a picture of the Prophet. Throughout the history any media in the world has respected and never used a picture to depict him. Meantime, we should ask them if they want to write anything about Islam they should approach a Muslim.

Please call Mawbima editorial on following numbers and explain this politely.
Telephone: 0117-566 566/0117-566 535
Fax: 0117-566 546

Please call them or send an email and show them that we are alert.
