First paragraph excerpt:
Of all the moral precepts instilled in Buddhist monks the promise not to kill comes first, and the principle of non-violence is arguably more central to Buddhism than any other major religion. So why have monks been using hate speech against Muslims and joining mobs that have left dozens dead?

They are like everyone else, they’ve had enough and they aren’t going to take any more.
Who cares, send them some money.

At the risk of coming off as the you-know-what in the punch bowl, please recall that B*ddhism is an idolatrous religion and that these B*ddhists are rejecting proselytary activity by all Western monotheistic religions.
Glad to help.
We need a lot of laughs lately.
Buddhism isn’t “non violent”... its the “middle way”... so they just want the muzzies halfway dead.....
Time for someone to call them “schoolyard bullies.” Obama? Your turn. Hairy Reed’s turn is over. Time for some schoolyard cheers!
“Go Buddhists! Boom, boom! Kick muzzlems! Boom, boom! Go Buddhists! Boom, boom! Kick muzzlems! Boom, boom!”
“Siss boom bee, hit ‘em in the knee! Siss boom bass, hit ‘em in the other knee!”
“We are the Buddhists, mighty mighty Buddhists. Everywhere we go oh, people wanna know oh, who we are are, so we tell them. We are the Buddhists, mighty mighty Buddhists. Everywhere... “, continue forever.
“Potato chip, potato chip, crunch crunch crunch. UN, UN, here’s your lunch. EAT IT!”
“Retard them, retard them, make them relinquish our land!”
AS per the politically correct instructions there is no maention that Moslems have been killing Buddhists in the southern panhandle at a pretty good clip. The 969 folks have understood what Most Americans are too willfully blind to see, that it is a fight for survival. They are entering the fray early before the Moslem killers have grown strong and the threat becomse immediate.
1500 years ago Buddhism went through an aggressive expansionist phase, especially in China. It is in their background, and they do defend themselves.
It is a bit simpler and more obvious than that. Down in the southern portion of the country in the Kra isthmus there is a largish Moslem population.Moslems have been attempting to kill off or drive out the Buddhists there and have perpetrated some pretty atrocious murders, beheadings and such. It is self and national defense pure and simple.
I suspected that but I’m not familiar with the specifics of Muslim violence in Burma.
The Dalai Lama was hustled out of the country. He may have approved of the move but it wasn’t his decision. It was his votaries who did not want him to fall into the hands of the Chinese.
any chance the bbc is going to report on the 3500 buddhist thai people killed by muslims
The Muslims attack Jews.
The Muslims attack Hindis.
The Muslims attack Sikhs.
The Muslims attack the Baha’i faith.
Why, they even attack each other!
And the author is mystified by this behavior?
What, was he born yesterday?
I've been wasting my time looking for the turnip truck he just fell off of.
CA....
...so the Christians, the Jews, the Hindus and now the Buddhists are all getting “aggressive” with Muslims?
Can it be that the Muslims are doing things to piss their neighbors off?
Nah - it has to be racism on the part of non-Muslims.
Yes, I know that. I’m referring to the decades since then, that he has consistently told the Tibetans not to resist the Chinese conquest.
The wise avoid angering the warrior monks.
Muslims are far from wise. So much for background, as the short answer to why Buddhists attack Muslims is: “To know Islam is to loath Islam”.
