(The scorch marks on the temple covered with a grey wooden plate)
When people from The Danish Defence League put up stickers with the famous cartoon of Muhammed with head under his bomb, the police took DNA samples and stormed the sticker-criminals in their own homes. When “unknown” people tried to burn down a Buddhist temple located not far from a mosque inspired by the Muslim Brotherhood that has already been connected to terrorism, there is “no sign of harassment”. In fact, the fire was so miraculous, that it did not even produce any flame or smoke… As the police seem unterested in finding out who did it, we will probably never know. But fact is, that Muslims have found out that Buddhists do a pretty good job at fighting back – which is what we see in China, Thailand and Burma (US troops also met overwhelming Buddhist resistance in Vietnam, Korea and Japan).
“On Tuesday morning at 7 users of a Buddhist temple in Killerupgade were met with a nasty surprise. During the night, unknown men had tried to set fire to the temple. …The perpetrators had put combustible material at a wooden door, which was burned.’- But there has never been any flame or smoke. Therefore, the fire department was not contacted. It has not been necessary, says Kim Munksgaard, who immediately denied that there is harassment of the temple.- There is no sign of harassment against the temple or the users of it, said the police.'”
Many in the west confuse Buddhism with Jainism and think all Buddhist are incredibly peaceful, in reality they have a martial history second to none.
They choose their fights. Aren’t they celebrated strategic warriors?

The real seige lasted over 90 days and the only really bad history that is in the movie is the down playing of the role the Japanese senior officer played in the defense. Everyone had nothing but praise for him and his actions.
That looks good, thanks!
Yup, and are usually brave disciplined warriors.
I thought it had something to do with recent clashes between muslims and buddhist monks in Sri Lanka. The peachful monks are now fighting back and of course the BBC puts them blame on them.
That is part of it, possibly most of it right now but always remember the history of any grou, that is want they can revert to in time of need.
uk prison population 2013-14. buddists 22 -muslims 13,465 who would you rather have ?
Excellent question, ed.
Buddhist’s are not violent as the Buddha taught non violence, period. The buddhist you talk about maybe the japanese warriors who were buddhist but not following the Buddhas teaching! Buddhist are aware of the dangers of Islam because of the devastation they caused in India almost wiping it out. Afghanistan , Buddhists wiped out.
The buddhist monks who cause there to be violence are in fact not following the precepts but given the history of Islam who can blame them.
