Sri Lanka Buddhist Monks Destroy Muslim shrine on Buddhist land

[megimoo]

A group of Buddhist monks in Sri Lanka led a crowd that demolished a Muslim shrine last week. This incident took place on Saturday in Anuradhapura, an ancient Buddhist city and Unesco world heritage site.

The monk who led the group told the BBC he did it because the shrine was on land that was given to Sinhalese Buddhists 2,000 years ago

Nothing new here,..Muslims have been usurping others religious holy sites for years..

According to Islam, al-ilah (aka Allah) owns everything. Once his "army" conquers something in his name, it belongs to him, and nobody can take it away. That's the way Islam looks at Spain and Jerusalem for example.

I see a good omen here.

I know what you are saying, but I would hate to see some kind of backlash directed at the Buddhists. They are peace-loving people.

I think all the religions of the world should unite and slaughter all the muslims just to be safe.

Yes, but they are not all pacifists. It would be a serious mistake for someone to assume that the monks of Shaolin, for example, cannot take care of themselves in a fight. Many Buddhists engange in physical conflict as a means of achieving enlightenment, and it is reflected in the martial traditions of the zen archers, the samurai and the various Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese and other East Asian nations. .

The US should have destroyed the mosque's in Iraq that were being used to harbor the enemy and kill American soldiers. Screw their holy places. We should learn from the Buddhists.

I love how Bailey says what most conservatives think but don't have to balls to say.
