Buddhist militancy triggers international concern

Do you think these militants are justified? If not, are they acting on behalf of their fellow Buddhists countrymen?

The Financial Times you rely so much on is well known as a propaganda outlet of greedy vulture-like British-based financiers, always hell bent on predating other nations.

Such greedy financiers are specially eager to reclaim their grip on their old colonies, such as Myanmar and Sri Lanka.

But such countries, after centuries of unconscionable exploitation by such British-based financiers, and relying on their own millenial Buddhist culture, are now proud sovereign nations.

Therefore, it is just natural that the propaganda outlet of such financiers, the Financial Times, tries to describe Buddhists proud and protective of their culture and civilization as some kind of “radical militants”, while, in cahoots with countries such as Saudi Arabia, promoting Islamic anti-Buddhist terrorism in such countries.

You, eyesoftara, unfortunately fell prey to such venom, naively taking as “facts” the Financial Times' poisonous propaganda, and making precisely the uninformed, precipitated, infantile judgement idiotified Westerners, the avid readers of such hate propaganda outlets, are expected to make.

Facts aside, Matibahdra, you mean Buddhist are all infallible? This is laughable. Buddhist can be just as samsaric as any non Buddhist and  are subject to same trap of using religion as an excuse to discriminate others via economic and militant device.
Please do not form any judgment on what you perceived as "greedy like" British financiers. Reserve that to their karma; good or bad; unless you have generated boddhicitta which I also shall not judge.

Facts aside, Matibahdra,

No “facts aside”. A discussion which puts “facts aside” is the pastime of the fool.

Please quote the sentence where I say anything to this effect. Unless, of course, you want to play the foolish game of putting “facts aside”.

Laughing is the behavior of fools when they put “facts aside”.

So what. Please show the relevance of your generic statement to the current discussion.

While you so hastily accuse brave Buddhist monks defending their country, culture, and religion of “discriminating others via economic and militant device”, all without any evidence, and confessedly putting “facts aside”, you brazenly defend mass-murdering colonialists, the greedy British-based financiers supporting Islamic terrorists in their anti-Buddhist assaults.

Since you did not refrain from forming accusatory judgments about the brave Buddhist monks, your request “not to form any judgments about greedy British-based financiers” clearly shows your double standards, hypocrisy, and intellectual dishonesty.

So cute. Why then don't you reserve your judgments when it comes to the Buddhist monks?

Obviously you teach best what you most need to learn, thus clearly showing for everyone to see the mark of hypocrisy and intellectual dishonesty.

Forget about bodhichitta. If only you manage to get rid of your hypocrisy and intellectual dishonesty it will be already a great feat for today.
