"Opposed to the war in Sri Lanka"? That's a dangerously ignorant statement. I'd venture that most reasonable people oppose war just about anywhere. There's opposing war and there's sympathising with terrorists. Check out Miss Arulpragasam's website, and you will see her in amongst celebrations decorated with the flag of the Tamil tigers, a terrorist organisation banned in 32 countries including the UK, countries in the EU and the USA (its a red and yellow flag with a roaring tiger frame by 2 crossed guns). An organisation which forcibly recruited child soldiers and regularly used suicide bombers to ruthlessly blow up soft civilian targets (which kind of explains the label). I wonder if the writer would take such a callously charitable view if she was seen to support Al Qaeda, another well known terrorist organisation.
