I understand the tenets of Buddhism , never-the-less it should not allow itself to be dominated and cruelly exterminated by Islam again . This happened once , in ancient India where the invading Moslem hoards ,from what is todays Afghanistan , overran India and reserved their most cruel and brutal treatment for the Buddhist ,whom they viewed in their ignorance as a-theistic. Even the Hindus were not treated as badly. Buddhism was run from the land of it birth as the point of a bloodied sword. Those that couldn't escape were slaughtered without mercy , monks , nuns , men women and children laity. This is how Buddhism found it's way to Tibet and SEA , via fleeing practitioners!
In ensuing centuries of Moslem rule in India cruel rulers
did all they could to extinguish Buddhism and it's monuments, dismantling them for their bricks to build horrid
mosques to their false god, throwing precious relics into rivers , repressing communities into paranoid undergrounds.
Islam has carried forth this targeted atrocity against Buddhism until these days . The murders in Thailand , the destruction of the Buddhas of Bamiyan. In an Islamic world
(God forbid it!) Buddhism would be totally snuffed out without any remainder . And yet Buddhism is a vastly more enlightened , humanity friendly set of beliefs and practices than islam could ever aspire to be. It is well that modern day Buddhist humbly accept the negative karma of defending
their Faith with force, even if to kill is necessary , rather than let the sub-humans and their vile corruption prevail . After all
what is a few lifetimes of 'penance' ?
