In this Sunday, Nov. 17, 2013 photo, Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) leader Kirama Wimalajothi speaks to Galagoda Atte Gnanasara, left, a 37-year-old Buddhist monk who founded the BBS group in 2012, at their office in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Wimalajothi and Gnanasara started the BBS after splitting from a group they said was not militant enough in protecting Buddhist interests in the country. With a bloody civil war over and a cautious peace at hand, the group of hardline Buddhist monks is rallying Sri Lanka against what they say is a pernicious threat: Muslims. In just over a year, the saffron-swathed monks of BBS have amassed a huge following, drawing thousands of fist-pumping followers who rail against unseen enemies within the country's small Muslim minority.
