@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? - 10 more replies
