But do let me know when a Buddhist explodes in a crowded plaza.

It is twenty seven years today since the 4th International Conference Seminar of Tamil Studies took place in Jaffna viz on 10.01.1974. The whole of Jaffna peninsula was in a festival mood through out the period while the conference was taking place. All roads and lanes were decorated with Banana plants, coconut trees, casuarina branches etc. Pandals were erected on the roads and the traditional Thoranams were hung along the roads for miles and miles. People behaved as if a wedding was taking place in their own homes. I would call it a period of awakening of Tamil awareness.

... While remaining at the esplanade I saw the police shoot at the electric wires that fell on the crowd and nine innocent lives were lost on that night. ...

Those police, and their political masters, were Buddhists, my friend, and the atrocities they have committed in Sri Lanka against the Hindu community are something you might want to look into. (I know people who were there that day, myself.)

But then I guess attacking a crowd with high-voltage electrical wires is just more, oh, civilized than attacking a crowd with a bomb ...

That would be your point, right?
