Buddhists persecuting Muslims?

The irony is rich, considering how many western leftists have embraced “tolerant” Buddhism.

Buddhism isn’t a suicide pact. In Burma, the Sangha is largely appointed by the government so it’s a little easier to get them behind anti Islam conflict that’s been brewing since WWII. However, there is the idea of a just war in Buddhism and self defense from invaders fits that bill.
