        The core is that Islamists want to change their host country via conversion and creating Islamists ghettos.

        Buddhism preaches to love and protect all living things, even snakes and insects. This is a disgusting excuse for crimes against humanity

        Again: Violence has no religion. It is endemic to human race just as loving other and being compassionate are. Struggle of vice and virtue

        Westerners think Buddhism is sort of ideal peaceful religion. Reality: There is no "religion of peace" — anywhere.https://twitter.com/rezaaslan/status/918460153610903552 …

        Pretty sure that’s not what the Buddha said about snakes and insects.

        Im a Buddhist nun. These "monks" don't represent Buddhism any more than ISIS represents Muslims. They've committed heinous acts.

        They may be monks, but anyone who says such shit is NOT Buddhist! What do we call the opposite of enlightenment?
