Another case of warning being ignored

It’s unbelievable but true. A hotelier on a visit to a European capital met a Sri Lankan diplomat, a former bureaucrat.

He claimed that he had taken a report when he was in Colombo to a political leader. That was about the activities of an extremist Muslim group which was bent on violence.

The politician, he complained, snubbed him and declared “Just be. Don’t do anything to offend the Muslim community.”
