Let not Kattankudy Sharia University and Islamic Education Centres at Beruwala, Maharagama, Trinco and Addalaichenai become breeding grounds of Islamic Extremist Ideology - the doctrine of Islamic extremist terrorism. Bring them under the supervision of UGC/Ministry of Education!

There are 03 grave mistakes often committed by our body politic following each major terrorist attack:
