Muslim clerics and  politicians have strongly opposed the decision.               An organizer of Monday's protest, Asoka Menikkgoda,  says the government should safeguard Buddhism, the state religion, and  not yield to Muslim pressure.<img src="http://i.imgur.com/EEvAS.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i.imgur.com/wJEkt.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0c/Associated_Press_logo_2012.svg/30px-Associated_Press_logo_2012.svg.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
