I was surprised to hear that.
Google search: "Buddhists killing Christians" gets 29,400,000 hits, while "Buddhists killing Muslims" gets 975,000 hits. Granted, this is just a quick and dirty Google search, and could be influenced by media bias, but that's like 30X the hits.
They lost count.
Good...Thailand should be doing the same in the southwest but they arent and now the muzzies are squatting all over th country and drastically changing it...mostly in bangkok and pattaya
maybe I did it differently but I got
Muslims killing Christians 621,000
Buddhists killing Christians 2,260
During Bill Clinton’s 1999 NATO-led war in Kosovo – which according to some estimates cost as much as $75 billion – we bombed Belgrade for 78 days, killed almost 3,000 civilians, and shredded the civilian infrastructure (including every bridge across the Danube.)
We devastated the environment, bombed the Chinese embassy, came very close to engaging in armed combat against Russian forces, and in general, pursued a horrific and inhumane strategy to rain misery on the civilian population of Belgrade in order to pressure Milosevic into surrendering.
Why did we do all that? The US did not even have an arguable interest in the Balkans, and no one ever tried to claim that Serbia represented any kind of threat to our nation or our interests.
But for months the Clinton administration had told us that Milosevic was waging a vicious genocide against Albanian Muslims, and needed to be stopped. The New York Times called it a “humanitarian war.” In March 1999 – the same month that the bombing started – Clinton’s State Department publicly suggested that as many as 500,000 Albanian Kosovars had been murdered by Milosevic’s regime. In May of that year, as the bombing campaign was drawing to a close, Secretary of Defense William Cohen lowered that estimate 100,000.
Five years after the bombing, after all the forensic investigations had been completed, the prosecutors at Milosevic’s “War Crimes” trial in the Hague were barely been able to document a questionable figure of perhaps 5,000 “bodies and body parts.” During the war, the American people were told that Kosovo was full of mass graves filled with the bodies of murdered Albanian Muslims. But none were ever found.
Thanks, good info to keep around.
Thank you. Yes, horrific wasn’t it. And the corrupt MSM? No where to be found outside of professing their undying love for Clinton for his misguided military adventure.
The world is horrified!
But when the savages murdered thousands of normal people, no one cared.
That’s all correct. Never mind to aid the EU’s takeover of the region.
Hmmm....
Passive kills Agressive.
Interesting.
Cuz we know the “agressives” would never kill innocent women and children....
I don’t know why that is.
Not strange at all. Buddhists are human, after all. One of the most vicious historical episodes involving Buddhists occurred in Japan in the late 16th century, when Buddhist monks devised and implemented ways to torture Christians (in addition to crucifying them by the score).
Some of us have been following this story for some time.
As Burma Opens, Its Minorities Seek Rights, Independence

The Buddists and Muslims in Burma have been fighting for a while; it isn’t anything new or recent. It’s also important to note that all Buddists and Muslims are not strict and devout, just like many Christian groups. There are many moderate types that claim the religion, but do not follow any of the practices. The groups here in Burma fall into one of two: extremist group or moderates that are doing this for different reasons than religion.
