Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Financial Times: “Buddhist militancy triggers international concern”

Dec 29, 2014 2:47 pm By Robert Spencer

Buddhist monk with gunWhen did you ever see in the Financial Times, or anywhere else in the mainstream media, an article entitled, “Muslim militancy triggers international concern” — unless it was devoted to downplaying that concern or denying that there was anything rightly called “Muslim militancy” at all? When did you ever see in the Financial Times, or in any other mainstream media outlet, a victim of Islamic jihad being quoted saying: “If I could meet those responsible, I would ask: ‘Sir, does your prophet Muhammad teach this?’” When did you ever see in the Financial Times, or anywhere else, an exploration of whether Buddha or Muhammad actually did teach or incite violence?

No violence against any innocent people, Muslim or non-Muslim, is ever justified. This ridiculous piece makes no mention, however, of the fact that all the conflict — in Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Thailand — between Buddhists and Muslims was caused by Muslims attacking Buddhists. The Buddhists responded, and this is what they get. James Crabtree and Michael Peel would apparently have preferred that they surrender quietly to the jihad, and submit to being massacred or enslaved.

If Buddhists were organized like Muslims, we would now start seeing the mainstream media filled with weepy articles about “Buddhismophobia,” and laments that opposition to Buddhist militancy was really just a smoke screen for “racism” and “bigotry,” and that there wasn’t really any Buddhist militancy anyway, as it was actually all just a creation of those Buddhismophobes. But they aren’t, and we won’t.

“Buddhist militancy triggers international concern,” by James Crabtree and Michael Peel, Financial Times, December 28, 2014 (thanks to Maxwell):

Shahabadeen Sahira had a traumatic first-hand view of a new wave of militant Buddhist nationalist groups, whose rise across parts of Asia has triggered growing international alarm.

Wearing a black headscarf, the elderly Muslim former schoolteacher recalls her ordeal in June, when a gang burst into her home near the southern Sri Lankan coastal town of Aluthgama, during the worst religiously inspired violence to hit the tropical island nation in three decades.

“They came and took everything I had,” she recalls of the men from the country’s largely Buddhist Sinhalese majority, who burned dozens of homes in two days of clashes with Muslims. Three people were killed. “My house was ruined. All my money, all my jewellery, was gone,” she says. “If I could meet those responsible, I would ask: ‘Sir, does your Lord Buddha teach this?’”…

    When did you ever see in the Financial Times, or anywhere else in the mainstream media, an article entitled, “Muslim militancy triggers international concern”

    The answer is NEVER, because the left-wing controlled media (here in Britain esp..) are extremely fearful of being called a ‘racist’ by the radical left.

      We all know about the concept of ‘taqiyya’, but it’s also important to
      get to know the language of the Cultural Marxist, as their agenda
      is identical to that of the Islamist, except the belief in ‘Allah’. They
      will never admit it, but it’s clear that words like ‘racist’ and ‘militant’,
      in their language, means not allowing Islamic fanatics to do
      whatever they want to you and your children. A great example of
      people who avoided the afflictions of ‘racism’ and ‘militancy’ are
      the council and social workers in Rotherham. We will learn,
      whether we want to or not.

      “Furthermore, (moreover) I consider that Carthage must be destroyed”.

    Much the same as in the Central African Republic.
    The Muslims raped, butchered and burned their way across the country. Unrepeatable horrors were committed against Christian women and children by the Muslims in their insane rampage.
    The response from the Western media—-DEAFING SILENCE.
    but when the Christians organised and fought back against the Muslim butchers——–SHOCK HORROR,
    endless reports in the Western media of Christian atrocities perpetrated against the poor defenceless Muslims.

      This is the type of account that needs to be tweeted, then retweeted millions of times. It illustrates the war of Islam on the Infidel and turning themselves into the victim and the victim into the aggressor. They are great propagandists in a world willing to be complicit in evil; the EU, UN, much of S America, A Marxist leaning US Presidency allegedly and the American. European far left and far Right. One can’t even imagine the last thoughts of these poor souls. The Islamists probably passed out sweets to celebrate like Hamas

    Once again, pacifists are showing leadership when it comes to standing up to Muslims. The Buddha does not teach them this. It is just human nature. Buddhists are in fact very aware of human nature as part of the path to enlightenment.
    The argument presented by the Muslim complaining about her house is very telling. Muslims expect you to fully submit to the peace loving teachings of your religion while they submit to their religion of war, which will make their plans for world dominance that much easier. When you do stand against them, they will call you a hypocrite and say, “shame on you.” When faced with total annihilation, the teachings of peace and love should be stored with care for better times.

      At the end of the day it really doesn’t matter what a religion teaches, it is what the followers of that religion do in the name of that religion that counts.
      Were the Buddhist in the article attacking the Muslims to convert them to Buddhism, or were they responding to previous attacks by Muslims? Or have they got to the point where looking around the world they have decided that attack is the best form of defence?

      Not entirely correct, and irrelevant in this case – which, I much fear, you know fully well. After the Meiji Restoration, the Edict of April 1872 removed Buddhist precepts as the basis of state law and secularized the lifestyle of the monks (including allowing monks to eat meat and to marry). This was a deliberate attempt to trash the monasteries – and was reasonably successful. The official religion of Imperial Japan was Shintoism, with its Nihonjinron philosophy, which stressed the uniqueness of Japanese culture. As a result many Buddhist sects were persecuted, while others adapted and became supporters of the Imperial system. The more people were true to the teachings of the Buddha, the less loyal Nihonjin they became. So yes, some sects did support the Imperial cult, notably the more extreme Zen sects – many didn’t. The same was true for Christianity and the Nazis. Many saintly Christian martyrs opposed the Nazi abomination and paid for it with their lives and a majority of believers didn’t support the Nazis (only a third of Germans voted for them) – the sin of the passive majority (which we share in abundance!!) was an indifference to the sufferings of others outside their select group, so they did nothing to stop the Nazis. There were Buddhist martyrs against the Imperial cult as well – off the top of my head I could name Ichikawa Haku and Seno’o Giro, but I’m no expert in this field so there will be others. Nazism was at base, an anti-Christian, nationalist, socialist, neo-pagan revival – swap Buddhist for Christian and Shinto for neo-pagan and you’ve described the Japanese Imperial philosophy replete with such anti-Buddhist concepts as arohitogami (the unassailable incarnate divinity of the emperor, which would place him above the Boddhisatvas).

      The Buddhist Sangha is reacting to the incessant violence of the Dar al-Islam. Eventually we will have to respond, hopefully in a civilized manner, to the same threat.

        “Nazism was at base, an anti-Christian, nationalist, socialist, neo-pagan revival”

        The more I read about WW II, the more I’m not sure what nazism was. They called themselves nationalists but preached the idea of a master race over the idea of a German nation. Even the notion of the “Aryan Master Race” is wobbly at best, IMO – blue-eyed blond people were considered “subhuman” on the account of being Jewish (even those of German nationality), Pole or Russian, and Italy and Japan were not exactly examples of “Aryan superiority” but deemed good enough to fight alongside with.

    Apart from speculations about risk, and accusations of gutlessness, can anyone think of a solid reason for this lack of balance? Because I do get the impression that journalists who indulge in this kind of hypocrisy are in most cases perfectly sincere. They think that Islam is getting a bad rap from bigots and that their task is to counter that with enlightenment and tolerance. Why they don’t think this when Buddhists are forced into violence, I don’t know. I don’t get it. Exactly why is Islam so favored?

      Easy. They (leftists, such as dominates the journalism culture) respect and support whomever they feel intimidated by.

      And at the same time, they have a certain excitement about those who are unmoored from the civility on which they timidly depend for safety (such as jihadis, and communist revolutionaries). They have a “savage chic” tendency.

      And when savages loom, they want to be first to be “welcoming,” acting as if they like and trust that savage – that’s their prefered gambit, as standing up to it and honorably enforcing true safety for all through upholding civilized mores requires being able to fight, something which is inconceivable to them.

    Just wait a few more years and you will see how ordinary Europeans will do the same as the Buddhists as they get a surfeit of jihad and say enough is enough. It is more likely that the working class, who are supposed to be reresented by the left, will be the ones to begin it. Of course the lefties live in leafy suburbs in London and other cities and don’t have to put up with local jihadis there.

    The idea that Buddhism is pacifism is essentially a western construct. Buddhists, including the previous dalai lama. had martial inclinations.

    As for the japanese, see Zen at war http://www.amazon.com/Stories-Routledge-Critical-Studies-Buddhism/dp/0700715819

    “Following the critically acclaimed Zen at War (1997), Brian Victoria explores the intimate relationship between Japanese institutional Buddhism and militarism during the Second World War.
    Victoria reveals for the first time, through examination of the wartime writings of the Japanese military itself, that the Zen school’s view of life and death was deliberately incorporated into the military’s programme of ‘spiritual education’ in order to develop a fanatical military spirit in both soldiers and civilians. Furthermore, that D. T. Suzuki, the most famous exponent of Zen in the West, is shown to have been a wartime proponent of this Zen-inspired viewpoint which enabled Japanese soldiers to leave for the battlefield already resigned to death.”

      Hogwash, incorporating watanabe sauce into their dietary regimen was as culturally natural as any tangential, incidental practice or use of Buddhism by the Japanese military. Their fanatical nationalism and devotion to the emperor was the main, secondary and last inspirational motive existing for them to scarify self for the cause.
      And here in the homeland, unlike the mohamadeans defending the jihad ala reza et al, the Japanese-Americans fought valiantly and with distinguished merit for our people and nation.

Azhar Ali, 27, was killed in 2005 in Iraq by a roadside bomb that blew up his vehicle while he was on patrol. In 2007, Army Spc. Kareem R.

          One day while driving I, nabi ZK (pbum), nabific, wise, etc., noticed a hijabi riding in the car next to me. The nabi generally doesn’t like to see hijabi’s and considers wearing of the hijab to be a political statement, not a religious one. However when the car passed I noticed the purple heart on her license plate. It gave me, nabi ZK (pbum), something to think about that day. She or her husband put their lives on the line to fight for America. So let us strive to remember that even though mohametanism is the religion of death, torture and rape, people are just people and not all mohametans are evil.

    Wait for the REAL concern, wait for the REAL awakening of the free peoples of the West.

    Every honest citizen MUST carry a gun, everywhere, all the time.
    Self-defense is a God-given right and a duty. Gun control advocates have innocent blood on their hands.
    Get a gun. If you can’t, get a knife. Don’t just stand still while you or your loved ones are beaten, humiliated, raped, robbed or killed by Muslim thugs.

        And there’s always the good old-fashioned gamp, or brolly: the kind that is solidly-made, with a sturdy wooden handle (with which one can deliver a sound thwack) and a no-nonsense metal point on the end. Such a brolly can be carried by anyone in the UK, with perfect justification, and converted to emergency alternative use, as necessary.

        If any of those Ozzie recently held captive by that crazy Iranian turd had martial-arts training, no one (except maybe Jihad Johnnie) might have died. We need to start raising our kids to truly take care of themselves in a world warped by Islamic violence. It’s odd, just as we have made real strides toward a peaceable society here in the States (where violent crime continues to dwindle for the 5th straight decade) the cops are going all jihad on us and the moslems pop in the middle of it all. We need to become ‘peaceful warriors’.

    From the late 60’s until 1999, the UK had a terrorist problem with the IRA in Northern Ireland. In all that time I never heard of any revenge attacks (except the Ulster Unionists and similar NI unionist groups), After every IRA attack the government and msm spoke the truth, there were never any statements about Eire being a country of peace and warnings about Irishophobia. The Irish were accepted in all parts of the UK the same as most Irish accepted the Brits in Eire
    .
    After every attack by Islamists there are constant warnings about Islamophobia, declarations that Islam is a religion of peace, and constant wining by muslims about how us non muslims are linking their “peaceful” religion with violence.

    If Islam is a “religion of peace” as stated it would show by the way muslims behave and act towards the rest of the population. With their constant calls of Islamophobia, feigned victimhood, placards calling for anyone who criticizes Islam to be beheaded and calls for Sharia to be implemented in all countries they show exactly what they think of all non muslims

    Boohoo, it breaks my heart. These brutal Buddhists, horrible. Only take the example of Myanmar. The country opened up only recently to democracy, we in the West didn’t know much about the people there. In Myanmar there are 61 ethnicities leaving peacefully together. Only one causes problems, the Rohingya who’re muzzies. Two years ago when the country started to open up to the West and its values, the muzzies raped and killed three Buddhist girls. Maybe the Buddhists should accept that peacefully in the name of multiculturalism, but being sensible people who’re aware of the necessity to defend their women and their culture they don’t. Thumbs up Buddhists, you’re a lot more reasonable than PC Westerners.

      Dec 29, 2014 at 8:28 pm

      @epistemology

      All ethnicities in Burman/Myanmar living together peaceably? Er, not exactly.

      When I was at AmEmbassy Bangkok back in the early ’90’s, one of the things we had to work on was refugee and migration affairs–one major refugee producer being Burma, where ethnic battles of every conceivable kind were being waged from the northernmost reaches of the Kachin State all the way down to the Mon State and Tennaserim. Yes, in Rakhine/Arakan State there are major issues between Muslims (mostly of Bangali/Rohingya ethnicity) and Buddhists (Mostly of Arakanese ethnicity–akin to the majority Bamar), and I’m sure that the Muslims weren’t exactly guiltless in the struggle (think numbers of people stemming from an undocumented immigration from East Bengal not too long ago).

      Also, while I’m not sure that Buddhism has anything in its textual/theological tradition that justifies violence even remotely similar to the Islamic doctrine of Jihad, Buddhists can be and have been violent people. The long Sri Lanka civil war grew partly out of the Hundu Tamil minority feeling discriminated against by the Sinhala Buddhist majority. “Buddhist Socialism” was a founding ideology of independent Burma, and it alienated a lot of minorities. In Taiwan and China, I worshiped with Christians whose indigenous forbears bore the brunt of the Boxer Rebellion, whose ideology was steeped in Mahayana terminology.

      As a Presbyterian, I am painfully aware of the role that many of my devout brethren have played in the troubles in Ulster–although I will never repudiate the doctrines of political compact and right of rebellion (in extreme cases) put forth by men like Knox, Buchanan, Rutherford, Ponet, Hotman, Languet, DuPlessis, and Marnix van Sint Aldegonde. Having Jewish ancestors, I note that not too long ago some of my kin celebrated a religious revolt. Hence, I am not surprised that Buddhists may occasionally “behave badly”.

      • Phil says

        Dec 29, 2014 at 9:47 pm

        Good point and I concede what you say. But remember, the interethnic violence was largely initiated and orchestrated by the SLORC (love that acronym!!!) and it’s nasty successors. I honestly don’t think we can call the soothsayer-devotees* of an entrenched military junta (which initially espoused the Burmese way to socialism) representative of Buddhism. The Karen were probably the major ethnic victim of the junta – and they are Christian, Buddhist and animist. As for the situation in Arakhan (a.k.a. Rakhine province), it arises from the aggressive behaviour of the Rohinya – including rapes of Buddhist women, dispossession and communal violence – which triggered a reaction by their Buddhist neighbours. Before people start crying for the Rohinya, consider that they have embroiled themselves in the Jihad in southern Thailand – despite the fact they have no historical link there. And the only reason the Rohinya are pushing on the Burmeses is because the Bangladeshis are treating them (their coreligionists) like unwanted interlopers. By way of comparison, compare the treatment of the Buddhist Chittagong hill-people by their muslim Bangladeshi neighbours with the treatment of the Rohinya by the Burmese. Even at its worst, the Rohinya are far better off.

          Some good points made by both you and Kepha.

          A further point is this: that Australia has taken in quite a lot of Karen and Chin refugees from Myanmar. Many are Christian, and have instantly joined up with local Christian churches of their preferred denomination (quite a few of them are Anglicans, some are Baptist, etc); the rest are Buddhist or animist, as you say. And they are causing NO trouble whatsoever; they are working hard, learning English, and learning the ropes. They are pathetically grateful to be free and safe, and the Christians among them are delighted to have escaped severe persecution. I have no doubt that in another generation we will have Karen-Australian doctors, lawyers, scientists, engineers, businesspeople and…Christian priests and missionaries, and that they will be ‘married into’ existing Aussie families.

          But…I have no doubt that should we be silly enough to heed all the wailing and crying and loud sob stories and take in an equivalent number of Rohingya Muslim “refugees”, that we would discover, pretty soon, that they would behave with the same demands for special treatment and accommodation, the same arrogance, selfishness, ingratitude, violence and criminality – and the continual hatching of jihad plots – that we have endured from Lebanese Muslim ‘refugees’ and Afghan Muslim ‘refugees’ and Somalil Muslim ‘refugees’ and all the rest.

          @Phil and Dumbledore’s.

          I suspect that a lot of Burma’s neurosis goes back to the loss of dominance by the Buddhist Bamar under British colonialism–a period when all of a sudden people like the Karen, Kachin, and Chin were emerging from the pre-modern, tribal society in which the British found them (and that emergence stemming in part from the hill peoples’ positive response to the Gospel).

          DDA, as an ESOL teacher in the States, I can assure you we’re seeing an assimilating Burmese immigration here, too.

          Phil, as for the SLORC guys picking a capital based on omens, I’m not surprised in the least. In China, I heard a Communist official of long-standing seriously praise the feng shui of a new factory. If we took a long, hard look at the “enlightened” pre-Christian Greeks and Romans of classical antiquity, we’d find astrologers, soothsayers, omen-taking of various kinds (especially examination of the entrails of a sacrificial animal), auspecs (the original bird watchers–for soothsaying rather than science). Don’t forget that among other contributions the Latin-Berber Augustine of Hippo made to the West was his hard-hitting, biblically-based critique of astrology. And, back in the Sillier ‘Seventies, when I was a budding “Jesus Freak”, someone near and dear who was into Trotsky, Castro, and Mao berated me–and went to the astrology section of the paper first thing every morning.

He is a saint and is venerated for opening the Empire to the Light of Christ. One of the things he effected was the abolition of bloodsport, which was a mass spectacle of human sacrifice. St. Emperor Constantine was a great political leader and Christian role model.

        I agree. Constantine I saved the empire and laid the foundations of the Byzantine Imperium. He was a complex individual – but for all his many personal troubles (and his dysfunctional family) he was a great man and did a lot of good. I don’t deny the military campaigns, but how many more would have died in internecine struggles if he hadn’t intervened? Surely no one would rather the empire had been ruled by Galerius, Maximian or Maxentius? If we have to judge him, let’s agree his legacy is basically, Christendom with all its achievements….not a bad epitaph, I think. As for problems in the Church – they pre-dated Constantine. Nothing wrecks a religion faster than angry young men and hysterical young women. The First Council of Nicaea merely formalized and addressed problems that had been brewing for generations.

          Phil and cs:

          I also refuse to condemn the Constantinian Revolution, even if I refuse to see the Byzantine Empire as some sort of Golden Age; and still look forward to that city whose builder and maker is God rather than to some point in the Christian past. But I still pray that the light of Christ (including Christian forbearance, respect and love for neighbor regardless, etc.) would come to be widespread and reflected in the national life of the USA. The saintly Toyohiko Kagawa, who spent his life ministering to the slum dwellers of Japan and, during WWII, cried out for peace with China and the USA, also prayed for the realization of Christ’s love and grace in the national life of Japan.

          As for what Nicaea did, it just put an official stamp on what had been believed by most Bible-believing Christians for a few centuries prior to it. Even in the 170’s, Irenaeus of Lyons makes use of texts from John in a manner similar to how the Nicene theologians would use them later as he refutes the Gnostics and other heretics. You cannot walk away from a believing reading of the Gospel of John and Epistle to the Hebrews without some sort of doctrine of the full divinity and full humanity of Christ united in one person; and God as Father, Word/Son, and Holy Spirit is worked into the warp and woof of the New Testament.

          And, as I have said before, my own researches into the ideas of rule of law and political compact have shown me how much these owe to a devout reading of the Old and New Testaments.

          Yes, I am one who believes that theology matters, and one thing that this whole Muslim blow-up will hopefully show the Western world is that this is indeed the case, and WHICH theology dominates makes all the difference in the world. Further, I will go on record that the go-to guys and gals from the Jesus Seminar, Elaine Pagels ,and others used by the History Channel just show us the woeful state of religious scholarship in America; while Dan Brown and the _Holy Blood, Holy Grail Crew_ lead me to agree with the late Martin Hengel that you can make a lot of money writing rubbish about Jesus.

          To return to the issue of Buddhists going violent, I make the observation that Paul of Tarsus was the wiser man (and he’d be the first to acknowledge the source of that wisdom!) when he identified sin as man’s basic problem rather than the ignorance posited by Siddharta Gautama.

      The difference between Islamic militancy and Buddhist militancy is the concept in core ideology.

      Lord Buddha stated to his disciples that Even if your tormentor tore you from limb to limb you cannot commit any act of violence.

      While the evil prophet of doom Muhammad says smite the necks of the unbelievers where ever you find them.

      Islam was successful in Asia and even Middle East itself due to Buddhism, Christianity and Hinduism which were non violent at an ideological level from a propagation perspective and it made things very easy for the Muslim invaders to butcher the populations e.g. Afghanistan where the last vestige of humanity was destroyed when Taliban destroyed Bamiyan Buddha statues. In India the Muslims invaders destroyed nalanda university Etc.

      When these Muslims brag saying Islam has spread to all corners of the world, the reason is above.

      If a Christian, Hindu or a Buddhist kills a Human it is a sin or bad karma. But when a Muslim kills a kufr he is rewarded with paradise containing virgins and boy whores.

      When a Hindu king defeated Muslim invaders, the captured Muslim soldiers were released. When a Muslim King defeats an enemy you are given three options: a) convert and join the Islamic mafia family b) be a dhimmi who will be looted and subjugated and live without rights c) die.

      Many Hindus and Buddhists were slaughtered due to this above for centuries. Best estimates put the figure at 125 million people over a thousand year period I.e. 12.5 million per century killed by Islam.

      Even now what ever violence is being perpetrated is reactionary and defensive one by Hindus, Buddhists and Christians.

      In Hindu belief system (bhavisya purana) Muhammad is said to be reincarnation of Demon or Rakshas who is born to the west of India and who along with his followers will commit the most heinous of sins in the name of god and whose hordes of demons will be halted till the land of the Indus River that is now present day Pakistan.

      People including Muslim themselves are getting sick of Islam. Justification by Taliban for killing children is that since they have pubic hair, guidance or life / example of Muhammad sanctions this.

      Attack the Islamic ideology as present day Muslim don’t know true Islam and what kind of person Muhammad are not understanding this as all prayers and Islamic theology is in Arabic.

        It is good thing there is gun control in Europe, UK etc. Otherwise these returning jihadis will try to establish a caliphate here.

        But they already have their mini caliphates in uk in sharia zones where non Muslims and drinking etc. Is not allowed. What is ironical is that they want to eat animals slaughtered in a certain way but are not concerned about killing a kufr or silently support what Islamic state is doing.

        Western leaders are on the payroll of oil rich Arabs and any criticism of Islam is made equivalent to a charge of racism which is wrong.

        People hated tommy Robinson ( formerly EDL) for speaking truth on Islam. The guy was not a racist and when he went to these sharia areas a mob quickly gathered and were trying to beat him up.

    If Islamic militancy doesn’t “trigger” concern, that’s because people are already concerned to death about it 24/7, and so damned accustomed to it, because there is so damned much of it. Buddhist militancy “triggers concern” precisely because Buddhists are not typically militant. Buddhists should defend themselves.

    People have a right to freely choose their religion or non-religion — but I don’t think they have a right to be part of a totalitarian political system like Islam, merely because it has a religious aspect. Muslims should leave Islam, and if they don’t, they shouldn’t complain that they are not wanted. No one is obligated to want people who follow a religion whose core texts demand the subjugation of non-Muslims under Islamic law once Muslims have the strength to do it.

    For those who haven’t already seen it, I’m including below a link to news stories about public figures and public institutions admitting to censoring themselves in response to Muslim death threats.

    It is understandable that there is international concern, a mob of rabied muslims torturing an innocent mother and father, breaking their legs and then throwing them into a brick kiln to burn to death in a most agonising fashion, and all this while the Pakistani muslim police stand by and watch, and all simply because they asked for their wages, which was a paltry sum anyway, I agree there should be an Inyernational outcry, I suggest economic sanctions against Pakistan, travel restrictions on their corrupt leadership and clergy, who are pretty much cohorts of satan anyway.
    What! I’m commenting on the wrong post?…Oh ! a muslim woman was robbed….no wonder the financial times rolled their sleeves up… acted like journalists….world up in arms….well done FT…

        There are 200 plus mosques in japan. I think they already have halal version of sushi now, but they don’t generally apply halal rule for fish.

        Try green land, there it seems only one Muslim in the whole country…. Will be safe bet unless global warming catches up before Muslim population gets to a critical mass :))..

        May be Mars may become an option as well since kufrs are scientifically ahead of the non working Muslims who live on jiziya or free oil money…

          I was under the impression that Japan didn’t allow Muslims, mosks, and Islam. The only country to put its foot down. I guess I was wrong.

          If you are looking for a country that has put its foot down – its china. In xinjiang region that is a Muslim state, they have banned full beard, Islam hijab and fasting in the month of Ramadan and no one in the west has dared to challenge them.

          They have kicked Islam’s a£&!

          Islam can actually be banned in democracies as it’s core ideology is against values of equality, its encourages sedition, does not give freedom of speech, encourages hate and it reflects political ideology rather than something that spirituality I.e. Religion is a belief in god, while Islam is a belief in a man that claims to be god’s messenger making it a cult that had historically led to human suffering and we have 1400 years of evidence to prove it.

          Islam can be deemed to be unconstitutional based on existing laws in many countries but no one has explored this path yet.

      More evidence that the dhimmi Western press has sold out to Islam. After constantly being persecuted and attacked by Muslims, it is time that Buddhists, Christians, and Jews went on the offensive against our common enemy, the Religion of War created by the Warlord Muhammad.

    Par for the course with the FT. Any whiff of populism, or uprising of the masses puts them in a tizzy.

    You realize FT is a establishment(pro globalism, open borders) rag and they only print the sort of material the establishment likes.

    Since Muslims are their people of choice anyone who stands up to their flavor of the month is going to painted as bad by them.

    Vast swaths of territory that were historically Buddhist are now Islamist due to violent Muslim invasion and conquest. Buddhism in these regions was exterminated in genocides and ethnic cleansing, not by example or pursuasion. Even ancient Buddhist monuments have been dynamited to rubble or vandalized into ruin. The remaining Buddhists understand this history very well and are determined to preserve their faith and their culture by whatever means necessary against Muslim expansion.

    When a faith as peaceful and compassionate as Buddhism turns to violence, it is because they perceive their backs against the wall and feel the preservation of their ideology is more important than being martyrs to yet another Islamic conquest. Unlike Islam, Buddhism is a true path to spiritual salvation. In a sense Buddhists are consciously sacrificing their souls to save a true path to salvation for their descendants.

    The FT is way off track here. This article is as misleading as it is ridiculous. The truth here, and there is NO reference to it, is that the Muslims are 100% to blame for the conflict between the Buddhists and Muslims, just as the “kill-in-the-name-of-allah” muslims are to blame for intolerance against any other religion in the world. The Muslims were attacking Buddhists. The Buddhists finally responded, to protect themselves and the FT reporters here ignore that fact. I guess the FT has bought into the political correctness of fear, in blaming Muslims for anything while pointing fingers at groups who defend themselves against Muslim aggression and violence. WHat are the Buddhist supposed to do? Surrender? Accept death or slavery to the intolerant and violent Muslims? The question I have for Mr James Crabtree and Mr Michael Peel; is did you purposely ignore the “militant & violent muslim” contribution to the mayhem in this region? Or just lopsided, and inept reporters? Do your homework and report the whole truth. We in the intelligence community know the truth.

    I quite enjoy the fact that some of the Asians — lacking the west’s self-contempt — are engaged in some real push-back against Mohammedan supremacists.

    And the Asians get it about crowds and mobs, and the Mohammedan tactic of hiding behind innocents in the crowd. When you are attacked by random people in a crowd, and you are left confronted with a crowd, well … that calls for an adjustment in tactics.

    The (real, Buddhist) Asians are showing themselves, perhaps not eager but willing to launch real destructive attacks on crowds and neighborhoods.

    It is not grounds for celebration, but remains a fact that breaking the Mohammedan will to fight will be a puzzle. And it will likely require actions that civilized moderns find distasteful.

    It is important to remember in this context, that Islamic cultures do not recognize, promote, or even really allow the sort of individualism that powers the modern world. The do not think as individuals. They do not act as individuals. They do not value the individual as an individual per se.

    And this all leaves modern folk in a conundrum. ALL of our moral standards are based on the value of an individual as an individual. For example our doctrines of war explicitly forbid collective punishment.

    But what happens when the enemy really IS a collective — right down to the individual souls involved. What happens when you are confronted with a crowd of people who have deliberately fashioned themselves into something like Startrek’s Borg Collective.

    And thus it must be very amusing from their point of view — not thinking of themselves as individuals, but knowing that we do — to play at “nope, I didn’t do that, it was that lousy guy over there, who’s not even a good Muslim”.

    We get confused and embarrassed. They roll on the floor laughing.

    The East Asians are brilliantly reciprocal. “Oh? You’re going to overrun my neighborhood & norms with your neighborhood & norms? No problem. I make your neighborhood go away. ”

    Not something a westerner can easily pull off. But it’s great watching the easterners doing it.

    I encourage my gentle fellow readers to pose yourselves the following question — what would be an effective, practical way to break the jihaddist will to fight (both physically and culturally)?

    • Wellington says

      Dec 30, 2014 at 7:10 pm

      First, joeblough, identify Islam for the evil which it is. This would not only be a shock to jihadists but to all Muslims——and it’s about time, way overdue in fact, that ALL Muslims are told that their religion truly sucks (rather like ALL KKK members or Marxists are told that what they believe in really sucks). This is the most important of all steps that has to be taken. No step greater.

      I fully understand that this will not be easy, to put it mildly, but it is absolutely essential that this eventually be done if Islam is not to continue, in very typical Islamic mode, parasitically feeding off yet another host, this time modern Western Civilization, which has accomplished huge achievements over the past half millennium or more while the Islamic world has stagnated completely during this same time period. This is the sine qua non “event” which must occur if Islam is to be defeated. If this is not done, then there is really no hope for a continued West. As Pat Condell has put it, Islam is not just an inferior way of treating with existence, it is a VASTLY inferior way of treating with life. An overwhelming realization of this Condellian verity MUST occur. If not, then forget it. We’re in big trouble to the extent that Islam still gets a pass.

      Second, hit the more “devout” Muslims most everytime they try to implement their horrid religion by way of force. No quarter. If outside a Western nation, often just terminate the bastards. If inside a Western nation, prosecute them to the maximum under Western law. Meanwhile, treat Muslims as any sensible person would treat anarchists, Marxists, Neo-Nazis, KKK members, et al. i.e., as losers who deserve no respect though they should be entitled to profess their idiotic ideas though not allowed at all to engage in many actions based on those wretched ideas.

      In any case, and this is HUGE, quit the games about Islam being something good, noble, peaceful and tolerant. As long as this great pretend game goes on, everything else done to deal with what Islam intends for us all is a pathetic, piecemeal approach and an insult to every Western military man and woman who has been assigned to combat the effects of Islamic evil without being told the correct cause of such evil (though many, if not most, in one Western military after another, know that Islam sucks and that they have been lied to by their superiors——I personally have been told this by many American military personnel I have spoken with over the past decade or so).

      Every Western leader, bar none, who continues to shill for Islam, while Wesern military personnel continue to die or be maimed fighting the effects of Islamic dysfunctionalism, have blood on their hands. This would extend even to soldiers of the past whose bravery is beyond question but whose understanding of Islam is woeful. For example, Senator John McCain, for whom I have lost virtually all respect even though I voted for him for President back in 2008.

      In short, Islam, all of this reprehensible religion and not just bits and pieces of it, has to be identified as inimical to Western Civilization. Then go from there. The rest will follow. And the West will then be secured from the spiritual totalitarianism which is Islam because a knowledgeable West is a West that will devastate anything the Islamic world intends for it, though there are many things going on within Western Civilization, for instance a gigantic non-appreciation of its greatness by way too many Western youth, that also pose a mortal threat to the most enlightened civilization in all of man’s history. But that’s for another day. First, Islam must be dealt with properly. Oh, must it ever.

    Its Islam strategy to bring Buddhism to their level. Islam is curse and Buddhism is blessing on humanity.
