Most of the victims have been Rohingya, a long persecuted Muslim minority in the country, with Buddhist mobs chasing them down with machetes, iron chains and bamboo clubs.

Same with Hindus - 'like for like' is usually the product of long and frustrated encounters with hostile people.

A long persecuted Colonizing community. Muslims are to do anything evil to spread the faith, the Quran commands it. It is better to believe and Jihad than to be good and not Jihad, those that don't Jihad when called to Jihad for Allah will not attain Heaven. Jihad is written in the Quran as physical struggle against non-believers. To Muslims, like the angry Rohingya, Buddhists are pagans that the Quran forbids them to marry until they convert. Buddhists are also killable pagans because God hates idolatry unless it's idolatry of the Qur'an. Therefore, the Rohingya and other evil Muslims that chose a religion of evil because of their evil natures, blow up Buddhists shrines and attack Buddhist people. Buddhists are the persecuted majority by the colonizers. And they are retaliating.

If Buddhists colonized Arabia or Pakistan in the same way, they would be treated just as bad if not worse. None of these religionists have any excuse, they all need to grow up and be better people.

Buddha's teachings are not violent IN THE LEAST. Muhammad teaches all kinds of violence and war against all people of all other religions. Intellectually, Buddhism wins every time. If you are Islamic, you are at a HUGE disadvantage if you want to make the case that Buddhism is violent. You got nothing. You got Islam, the most intolerant books of terrorism there ever was, and on the other side you got Buddhism, which teaches peace, freedom, and compassion. Who has the advantage in a debate? Who is the catalyst to violence, and who is a catalyst for peace??

You realize that Muhammad teaches to oppress all people of all other religions, and murdered and enslaved countless people based on their religion, right? Islam is a DIRECT and DEADLY threat to ALL people of all religions, including, and especially Atheists as well. Islam manages to insult, bully, threaten and terrorize everyone from all walks of life.

You have no idea what the "Muslims" have been doing in their neighboring cities and countries before then. They were setting fires to the cities and trying to kill Buddhist en masse. The Buddhist are simply fighting back and protecting their society. They have to. Some of the men in that religion are nothing but the most hateful people you will have ever encountered. I have met many and can't stand them. They have terrible entitled attitudes, refuse to integrate into American culture, subject their women and children to harsh punishments, and has fanatical extreme beliefs where they wouldn't hesitate to fight and kill anyone who doesn't agree with them. The world over is seeing their destructive behavior and how they have gotten away with so much and many are taking a stand. If you managed to anger a Buddhist, then you know something is wrong!

Islam is a hateful, racist cult. The dogma reveals that to be the case. The same could be said for the Bible as well though, imo. Maybe in different ways, maybe in the same ways....I think Islam is a byproduct of the Bible. The Bible gave birth to it, enables it, and empowers it. Islam is a part of the Bible's negative Karma. Moses and Muhammad are two heads to the same beast. The Bible makes it impossible to defend yourself against Islam. It helps to perpetuate Islam. It makes people blind to it. People of the Bible don't stand their ground intellectually against Islam as a civil rights issue, because the Bible sanctions it. So, on moral ground, their hands are tied. Morally, they suck just as bad, and they are stripped of that argument, which is the sword you NEED. The sword of morality. Without it, you are left in a perpetual death-spiral. The only way to wield that sword is to throw away the Bible as well. Then you are on the moral high-ground where they can't touch you. It is very liberating to do that.

So chopping people up with machetes in not violence? Who knew.....I am not trying to make a case for anything, but was just surprised that some Buddists are indeed violent...Had you bothered to read the link I posted you would see that in this conflict the Buddists are as bad as the Muslims, if not worse....We all know that there are many violent Muslims, but I am not defending either group.

By the way, I do not find the qur'an any worse than the bible when it comes to teaching violence.

Nice try, but I'm not taking the bait. The Bible isn't even close to Islam. If it weren't for the 10 commandments, there would be no government, order, or morality in society. You would have no sense of right and wrong. Those things come directly from the foundation of Christianity. Your bias is your ignorance.
