I would also like to know whether the Sri Lankans include any Muslims. If they are Muslims, then it is typical Muslim vs Muslim violence; send the whole lot back to where they came from.

But if they are not – if the Sri Lankans (mostly Tamil) are Hindu and secular and perhaps even include a few Christians – then I would guess that the Muslims started the fight and the Sri Lankan Infidels defended themselves. Quite ably, by the sounds of it.

If we have Sri Lankan non-Muslims willing and able to defend themselves against Muslim assault, then perhaps the thing to do is to accept the Sri Lankan non-Muslims (sans any out-and-out LTTE members, of course) while booting the Afghan Muslims right back to Afghanistan. Then settle the Sri Lankan non-Muslims in places like Auburn and tell them: use your initiative (or encourage them to train and sign up with the police force). People who are prepared to fight and defend themselves against Muslim mob attack are surely worth having!
