And cool it with the studied insults, then I could stop lobbing them back at you. It is true that Buddhist militants have not targeted the United States and Europe. For now, their homicidal attention is focused on their near neighbors. Truth be told, the raw numbers are more in the immediate neighborhoods of Daeshestan and Pakistan, with the attacks in Europe being kind of outliers, which is why they are a bit of a jolt when they happen.<br /><br />Gary's stated point was that no religion but Islam contains homicidal components in either its teachings or its nominal adherents. That is false. As for teachings, we all know that Jewish and Christian teachings can also be put to homicidal uses, but y'all lamely whine that that hasn't happened for a long time (skipping over the assassination of Yitzahk Rabin, e.g.) The truth is, Jews haven't been in a position to commit such atrocities for a long time, but the necessary attitudes are incubating among the illegal settlements, which are havens for religious fanaticism and self-righteous homicide. As for Christians, well at present our fanatics don't have much of a vacuum to operate in, but some are fully capable of acting rather like Daesh if they ever have such a vacuum.<br /><br />It is true that Buddhists don't say God ordered them to do it. What they do say is "You are not like us, therefore you must go away or die." Do you think the resulting mourners and refugees are consoled by the fact that an order from the Almighty was not attached to their suffering?Siarlys Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083839117838391267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59324506101124457.post-21564291326461488832016-03-27T11:24:16.444-07:002016-03-27T11:24:16.444-07:00Plus Buddhists don't even believe in God, thus...Plus Buddhists don't even believe in God, thus they don't say God orders them to do anything. When I lived in Thailand, I saw Buddhists do all sort sof bad things, like traffic in drugs and commit crimes. They did not attempt to justify it by their religion.Gary Fousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014739065121483409noreply@blogger.com
