She blames propaganda for the misconception that "when you think Tamil, you automatically think Tiger" and that we need to be taught that "Tamil equals Tamil civilians," since the Tamil Tigers are a completely separate entity. She is opposed to the violence committed by the Sri Lankan government and the Tamil Tigers.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.I.A._%28artist%29#cite_note-79" target="_blank">[80]</a></blockquote>
