“She is apparently a victim of the insurgency, not personal issues, because the suspects scattered fliers with anti-Buddhist messages before they fled.” World attention, however, focuses entirely on Muslims as victims of unprovoked (that is, according to the mainstream media narrative) Buddhist aggression. In that narrative, Muslims are the victims of unprovoked aggression the world over. Non-Muslims gratuitously decided to attack them for no reason whatsoever. What is remarkable about this ludicrous narrative is how widely it is believed.
“Muslim insurgents shoot then set on fire Buddhist teacher in Thailand,” by Cheryl K. Chumley for the Washington Times, March 14 (thanks to Twostellas):
A 42-year-old Buddhist teacher on her way to school in southern Thailand on Friday was targeted and shot twice in the head, then doused in gasoline and set on fire by suspected Muslim insurgents.
The woman taught English and was riding her motorcycle to work when the gunman — who was riding his own motorbike — fired off the shots to her head, said police Maj. Gen. Pete Susysuwan, in The Associated Press. Other suspected insurgents then helped to set her body on fire, police said.
“She is apparently a victim of the insurgency, not personal issues, because the suspects scattered fliers with anti-Buddhist messages before they fled,” he said, in the AP report.
The authorities are still seeking the suspects.
More than 5,000 have been killed in Islamic insurgency attacks that have gone forth in Thailand since 2004, AP reported.

What a coward jihadist muslims.

“What a coward jihadist muslims”
“Jihadist” is redundant. And so is “coward”.
“Muslims” alone should say it all. Lets’ hope one day it will.

Muslims are scum of the earth.

Now to get others to listen, here we are preaching to the choir, but those others will not learn and they will drag us down. We need to be very careful.

To the paid collaborators of islam0nazis your arguments about the evils of islam0nazism will always fall on deaf ears. There is no point in trying. They are as much your enemy as the muslimes themselves.
Steffen Larsen says
In those areas Buddhists need only look at a map of the Buddhist world what was, compared to a map of today.
Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Indonesia etc where Buddhism is largely gone. Disappeared. Despised. Forgotten. Suppressed. Were I a Buddhist I would be apprehensive too.
Bradamante says
Are there any maps comparing the former Buddhist world to the modern territory? I’ve been thinking it would be very instructive to show people the trend. Many people have no idea that Christianity lost 1/3 of its territory to the Muslims in less than a century.
Steffen Larsen says
Before I wrote the above I looked around for maps, and there are lots showing the Buddhist world as of today. And there are maps of the ancient world with arrows showing the spread of Buddhism, and descriptions of it.
But direct comparisons, none. No doubt there are some out there, but not immediately accessible. And aggressive Hinduism is being blamed just as much.

I think Buddhism, as far as expansion, is largely unchanged since its peak. It has lost some ground to Islam, but has gained ground elsewhere.
An interesting video on the expansion of the major religions:

The largest Buddhist structure(Borobudur, 8th century) located at the geographical center of Java Indonesia, the nation with the largest Muslim population. Things can certainly change, sometimes not for the better! When Buddhism and Islam meet, like magic, Buddhism disappears. The Buddha claimed that he was the teacher of gods and men. We should try to keep his message of awakening alive so that the pathway to real peace, remains open.

They are all cowards. When Hindu’s are against you it speaks volumes. Hindu is a true religion of peace, how did our President get confused?
Rob Crawford says
Hindus are no more peaceful than Christians. Their faith may not command them to fight, but it doesn’t say they can’t.
veggiedog says
Do then, is there a religion of peace? I still believe religion is the invention of man to keep people in line “law and order”. Somehow things got a bit crazy in all most religions but non as nuts as Islam.
veggiedog says
That should read, So then

IRRELEVANT POINTS
Why is it lately that when Muslims do bad things some commenters seem to divert.
It is ok to criticize Muslims and Islam.
The topic is filthy Muslim aggression against Buddhists
Gary Mullennix says
Muslims have been actively doing bad things for 1,400 years. Their religion requires to spread Islam throughout this world, with no exceptions, and throughout the universe. And if the unbeliever elects to not convert, they should be killed.

Islam is destroying India and hinduism too in India ,thanks to our coward leaders.

“The world is not only for muslims”
Ain’t that the truth… How long until muslims publicly claim that the existence of other religions offends them and the dhimmi leaders bow their heads down and agree to end them all?
mortimer says
Yes, shoot a teacher so youth are not educated to THINK. Islam teaches only memorization, not critical thought. Muslims are SOLDIERS, not thinkers. They need to learn so they can obey orders and kill. Why are Muslim terrorists over 90% of all terrorists? We know the answer: Islam’s primary source texts teach warfare against the disbelievers.
Truthsayer says
According to one press source she was the 171st education worker to be killed during the decade-long conflict between the Muslims in the southern provinces of Thailand and the Thai government. It has claimed more than 5,900 lives. The majority have been civilians. The attacks include shootings, bombings and even beheadings.
Teachers have been among those targeted as they are perceived as being a part of the Thai state.

Please more tolerance for the religion of peace!!! You can not blame Muslims for killing women and children. They are only following the orders from Allah. What a Muslim to do. We need to concentrate on Islamophobia that is destroying our country.

Unfortunately the British MSM portray the Muslims as the victims in the Thai conflict, we never hear about the outrages they perpetrate.
Thanks, Jihad Watch for balanced reporting.

When would the gut-wrenching tolerance for Muslim’s unprecedented barbarity end? I mean, almost every grown-up who could listen or read the news knows about Muslim’s incessant bloodlust, how could anyone still doubt the total mixture that is Islam & violence?
voegelinian says
Nevertheless, the denial continues. It continues because it’s complicated; or rather, I should say, because a construct of sociopolitical cultural complications stands in the way of clear thinking about it. The whole thing has many aspects, which I have analyzed numerous times in great detail on my blog. But according to RodSerling, I have “nothing new to say” on the subject.
alan says
Ever since naïve and stupid Americans put a muslim in the white house, Islamic supremacy and intolerance has reared its ugly head and Islam has spread like a cancer across the previously Muslim- ugly beard and- wierd- clothes-free West. At the same time other religions are being massacred and genocide of remaining non muslims in majority muslim lands proceeds apace as barak hussein obama imports muslims by the tens of thousand into a previously uncontaminated USA. Thanks America! Under Obama you have made the world a more hateful place. I personally will stand for Israel against the Obama US. For ever.

I love, love, love, love, love that sign that that Myanmar Buddhist monk is holding up:
“The World Is Not Only For Muslims”.
Says it all, really.
It deserves to be seen at every rally against Mohammedan jihad and sharia creep, world-wide.
It needs to go viral.
it needs to be translated into: Russian, Chinese, Swahili, a slew of African languages, Hindi (and all other regional Indian languages), Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Italian, and spread far and wide.
