That is not how your first replies came across.
You will find that there are many here who view Buddhism
as a close second to Muslims, mainly through knowing little about it.

tet68,
I trust your observation, but I guess I must have missed the threads where that
was the case (fortunately, maybe).

Regarding Buddhism on freerepublic.com, most of the comments I've seen have ranged
from neutral to favorable...even if it's not the posters' religional "cup of tea".

During that recent attack on the Thai police installation by the soccer team
of Muslims, I got the feeling that the general observation of posters was
"the Islmaics can't even get along with Buddhists!".

About the harshest commentary on Buddhism I've seen here was some thread about
the WWII warloards of Imperial Japan being Buddhists that had "gone off the reservation".

I'm just throwing out what my feeble mind remembers seeing on the topic of Buddhism here;
I guess I missed the nasty/unfair commentary.
