[Cronos]

This is how Buddhism found it's way to Tibet and SEA , via fleeing practitioners!

aCtually you're wrong -- it spread to those lands, much earlier -- 3 centuries before Christ and 1 millenium before Mad Mo.

Also, Buddhism was diminished in India by 300 AD because the Gupta Emperors who came to power followed Brahminical Hinduism -- Hinduism clawed it's way back and converted most Buddhists back, this was done peacefully.

But you are right about the Muslimess treating Buddhists badly.
