They have  violated immigration laws. A tourist visa is to have a holiday or visit  friends and family and not to preach Islam," Perera told AFP.        He said the group, which belongs to the Tabligh Jamat group, arrived in Sri Lanka last month in small batches.        Perera said he acted on several complaints by the Muslim community,  that the clerics were not preaching the moderate Islam practiced on the  Buddhist-dominated island.        "Foreign clerics wishing to preach Islam in Sri Lanka, must first apply  for permission through the religious affairs authorities," Perera said.        In January, Sri Lanka launched an online-visa application system,  scrapping the one-month visa on arrival for foreigners, except  Maldivians and Singaporeans.
