“Allahu Akbar”! The tinny P.A. system tore asunder the pre-dawn peace and quiet.

I was jolted in my mind, almost like experiencing a car wreck, suddenly and without any warning. This totally incongruous sound intruded upon and encompassed everything, causing even the birds to rustle in the darkness.

It was just after 4 a.m. I was seated underneath the holy Maha Bodhi Tree in Bodh Gaya, in the state of Bihar in India. It was a few days past the full moon of May 2004, a few days past Veesak. This was my second visit to this unparalleled location, the site of the Lord Buddha’s attainment of full Enlightenment over 2,500 years ago. Now, towards the end of my 10 day stay, I had applied for and been granted the great honor of permission to spend the night within the Maha Bodhi compound.

a dated article but still relevant , as many of todays Liberal progressives may also consider themselves Buddhists.

Yes, but Moehammedans will insist that it was a “defensive” war.

Just like their invasion if India, provoked by all the non-Islamic wealth sitting there just taunting them.

... of Hindu India...

Mass movements—whether those of Mohammed, the progressives or John Ankerberg—are fueled by the feelings of frustration of their adherents. The goal of Buddhism is to extinguish (nirvana) these feelings of frustration or unsatisfactoriness (dukkha). Thus Buddhism, when practiced properly, immunizes people from the feelings that drive them toward mass movements. It is not surprizing that Muslims, communists and John Ankerberg oppose Buddhism.

WTH, muslims at was against Buddhists too?

[tbw2]

I’ve brought this up to liberals who say terrorism is due to Western aggression. Islam killed 100 million Hindus and Buddhists before the West was even a world power.

The attacks on Buddhim by Islam are as violent as those against Christianity. See South Thailand and examin the facts of the conflict in Burma (not the UN sponsored misrepresentation of the infiltration). Another illustration of the absurdity of the Coexist bumper sticker and other propaganda. Today, Nice is the face of Islam and its rejection of tolerance.

If Shivaji had lost to Aurangzeb, all the Hindu’s in India would have been forced to convert to Islam.

Since their Buddhism is merely a fad and not sincere, they don’t care.
