IDK, bro. This just seems like standard-issue Islam, going back the past 1300 years.

Except there is a chance this is, in fact, standard issue Hindus.

It might very well be Muslims. It might also very well be hard line Buddhists who have been a growing problem in Sri Lanka. Combined Muslims and Christians make up about 17% of the population. You have another 12% Hindu and then the rest are Buddhists.

Let us not forget the Tamil Tigers were mostly Hindu and until recently were waging war against the government of Sri Lanka. Terrorist attacks were their strong point and they killed something like 70,000 people over the years.
