Rev. Father S. J. Emmanuel¹s comparison of the LTTE leader, Velupillai Prabakaran to Jesus Christ has generated a feeling of remorse and resentment among various sections of the Sri Lankan expatriate community living in London. They claim that such a statement is a sacrilege & are calling for condemnation from all Christians and other co-religionists ; such a vile comparison of a ruthless terrorist, who was described recently in the London Times as a ³remorseless megalomaniac ² to the Great Redeemer, venerated by millions throughout the world for his message of love and compassion to friend and foe alike is the greatest insult to a world teacher they say. The controversial statement was carried in a newspaper interview by a journalist from the ³ INDEPENDENT², a national British newspaper published in the UK sometime ago after an interview with the Roman Catholic Father Emmanuel in Jaffna.
