Buddhist extremists??? Isn’t that something like a fervent nihilist?

That sounds more like the religion O’Peace than Buddhists.

Looks like there's more than one "Religion of Peace Pieces".

This shocks me, I didn’t know the Buddhist were anti Catholic, or anti Christian.

Is this a Catholic cover up?
Was it really muslims in buddhist robes?

ROP strikes again .... ooops. Not this time.
So much for the stupid trope so prevalent around here that only Muslims do this sort of thing.

Buddhists attack Christians in Nepal and other Himalayan countries, as well. This is the first incident I’ve heard of in Sri Lanka, though. Maybe there’s a break in the Tamil vs. Singhalese conflict, giving the Singhalese (the natives of Ceylon) time on their hands. Tamils are Hindu.
We had some priests from Sri Lanka in Oklahoma; they’d come for 2- or 3-year missions. Well-educated gentlemen, and very devout.

Imagine if 1,000 Catholics attacked anyone of ANY religion ANYWHERE. It would be front page news around the world, commissions would be held, the UN would get involved, it would be wall to wall coverage on the MSM.

I wasn’t aware that Buddhists had specific instructions to kill all infidels to ensure their spot in paradise with 72 virgins.
Also, when you hear hoofbeats in central park, your first thought is horses, not zebras.

I tried to do a quick read up on it and it says Buddhism is more of a philosophy or ‘way of life’ and is also a belief system which is tolerant of all other beliefs or religions. Buddhism agrees with the moral teachings of other religions
http://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/5minbud.htm
I always considered them ‘peaceful’.

Thanks for your information.
I read and read and over time forget half of it, but wasn’t it Buddhist carvings that the Taliban destroyed in Afghanistan?

I wasnt aware that Buddhists had specific instructions to kill all infidels to ensure their spot in paradise with 72 virgins. And, amazingly, it apparently doesn't require specific instructions after all, does it?
It's human nature, FRiend. All we need, apparently, is the right excuse.
Also, when you hear hoofbeats in central park, your first thought is horses, not zebras.
And yet it was zebras this time ... just like a lot of other times it's been zebras.
This isn't to deny the prevalence of violence and murder by Islamic extremists -- it's just a lesson not to be so sure.
