      @UsaidMuneeb16 Of course I do. And I've spoken about it publicly. Please tell me which part of the Pali canon justifies it, however.

      .@SamHarrisOrg I doubt any of it does. And that's the point. Neither does Islam A few fringe interpreters do not represent a whole faith.

      @UsaidMuneeb16 Untrue about Islam. And that's an important difference. The Burmese Buddhists have only tribalism. ISIS has doctrine too.

          @SamHarrisOrg Buddhist monks have previously justified killing of communists saying it did not violet laws of Buddhism.

          @SamHarrisOrg Also Wirathu is a devout Buddhist. Quite sure his justification of violence is to establish the supremacy of his faith.

          @UsaidMuneeb16 @SamHarrisOrg Exactly, that's tribalism. But where does Buddhist doctrine actually justify it?

          @Liggi @SamHarrisOrg Buddhist nationalists in Thailand justified killing Communists saying it didn't go against the teachings of the faith.

          @UsaidMuneeb16 @SamHarrisOrg Saying it doesn't go against the teachings is not the same as finding explicit justification.

          @Liggi @SamHarrisOrg Taking out quotes without context is hardly a provision for justification terrorism.

          @UsaidMuneeb16 @SamHarrisOrg "Context" mainly seems to be code for "interpretation".

          @UsaidMuneeb16 @SamHarrisOrg I've read the entire Koran, and I see how an interpretation justifies ISIS. Do I need non-Koranic context too?

          @SamHarrisOrg @UsaidMuneeb16 founder/exemplar of Islam was military leader, waged war, Buddha did not. Also see 1st precept.
