Why have Buddhist monks been using hate speech against Muslims :
and joining mobs that have left dozens dead ?
This is happening in two countries separated by well over 1,000 miles of Indian Ocean :
- Burma and Sri Lanka
Muslims in both places are a generally peaceable and small minority :-\
During the war, the worst violence against Sri Lankan Muslims came at the hands of the Tamil rebels.
But after the fighting came to a bloody end with the defeat of the rebels in 2009 :
it seems that majority communal passions have found a new target :
in the Muslim minority.
perhaps the only two countries where they can protest .
Hindus are minority in both countries too...
sad to these so many children suffer in these situation...
shouldnt happen...
over 500 billion spend on war, enough to feed to entire world...
As stressed in the Dhammapada, a collection of sayings attributed to the Buddha :
"If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him :
as the wheel follows the foot of the ox that draws the carriage."
