Muslims aren't largely involved--other freepers might type "Muslims aren't involved in this conflict at all."
Get back on topic. (last sentence not directed at you, fishhound--unless you put in that keyword).
Most of the Tamil Tigers are nominal hindus,with a few Christians as well.They have a semi-Stalinist approach with religion almost out of the picture.They oppose Sri Lanka's Muslims,living on the Northern coast,who support the Sinhalese.
I do not know who put the Muslim reference in the keywords.
One thing I know about the Tamil people,(though unsure about the Tigers) is that they place a high value on education. They have a high rate of Phd's for thier population.
