Nazi Buddhists in Burma

I know a few members here say they are Buddhists and also claim that Buddhism is not a religion likle Christianity or Islam so I wonder what explanation they have for the "969 movement" in Burma. The movement is led by Buddhist monks whose goal is to persecute Moselms in Burma. Is this because the Buddhists are atheists and believe that Islam is a religion and should be stamped out do you think? Or is it because Buddhism as a religion sees Islam as a religious rival? Many news publications in the US describe the 969 movement as a Nazi form of Buddhism

I think they have the right idea. When it comes to Islam, either you destroy it, or it will destroy you. Look at Paris or Amsterdam as prime examples. Burma doesn't need Islam, and now is the time to eradicate it.

See, not all Nazis are in Burma or Buddhist for that matter.

DboyHave the Islamists destroyed Paris? I was there only last year and it was still on the map.

I have a number of friends who have converted to Buddhism claiming it's a religion of peace and harmony, or that they have discovered peace and harmony since their conversion. I maintain a degree of skepticism regarding such claims.

Don't forget what the Buddhist Sri Lankan government did to the Tamils when they had them surrounded....men, women and children.
