It takes a whole lot to get peacful Buddhists this mad. Still, when angered they can be effective! the Whababist Islamic nut cases must be put down like Rabid dogs. Good to see Buddhists doing to them what they have been doing to others for a change.

"Northwestern Myanmar" borders Bangladesh.

Only a very short piece, probably <100 miles. Most of the NW border is with India.

These were countries led by communist dictators.

Neither Thailand nor Burma has ever been a Communist dictatorship.

"How can we send matches to the Buddhists?"

A "Matches for Buddha " program!

Islam is at war with everybody else.

The Buddhas are fighting back for their best interests of safety and right to protect their faith.

Hate war but when it is thrown at you, you had better be ready to respond and respond wisely. Looks to me like a good way to respond to your sworn enemies.

Too bad Obama isn't a Buddhist instead of an Islamicist warrior.

Some research into the way some countries that are majority Buddhists treat people of other religions might yield some surprises for you. Sri Lanka and Bhutan come to mind pretty quickly. It’s not just retaliation against Muslims. Violence against Christians goes unreported in our media, but it’s a part of the Christian’s lives there. I’m not defending Muslims at all. I’m just saying that Buddhists burning homes and shops doesn’t surprise me. I know Buddhists who would never do such things, of course. But, it doesn’t take much research to find out that intolerance of other religions is a prominent feature of governments in countries that are majority Buddhist.
