    What about ruthlessly Killing innocent Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar?

    madumesh Saturday, 06 October 2012 12:07 AM

    Of course my brother..! We Buddhists don't won't any negativity to any living being. What you try to tell is 50% true, and that's it!

    Recent history witnessed certain Bangladeshli groups are violent. It is not bad to highlight it to world. What is bad is insulting or accuse for religon or certain ethnicity.
    If a dog bite we wont bite back the dog.
    Its shame these groups belive killing a human in another religon is not a sin.I think theire Gov should educate these groups.& set law to protect innocents.

    sayed Friday, 05 October 2012 03:10 AM

    Buddhhist is an terrorism you can see how they killed the elam tamils in north and east.

    Kelani Putha Friday, 05 October 2012 03:10 AM

    Remember what happen to Afganisthan.????????????

    Em Friday, 05 October 2012 01:31 AM

    You call Muslim terrorism.. violation in Dambulla, Mawanella, Panadura mosques & etc. in SL also killing innocent Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar is'nt that the show os Buddhist terrorism?

    Pundit Thursday, 04 October 2012 05:07 PM

    Buddha preached non violence.Please do not violate
    the Buddha Dhamma.Killing and violence is not acceptable.
    We are governed by Karma.Your actions and thoughts cannot
    be forgiven.We do not believe in Gods or sacrifices.
    True Buddhist will not hurt any living thing even if they are in danger.Remember the Jataka Story of the Buddha as Bodhisatva.The SL sangha should try to stop this ignorant behaviour.Unless it's caused by someone else to disrepute the SL budhist.I am concerned for the Bangladeshi Buddhist monks,but remember we are a philosophy not a religion.Stay calm and let the Dhamma lead you.There are no Buddhist wars.

    it is a dam disgrace to our country to treat like to friendly country. our country should know that it is 160 Million people to 20.2 millions. our monks must be thinking that they have taught a big lesson to Bd but you are sadly mistaken. SL will have to pay dearly

    Rick Thursday, 04 October 2012 04:55 PM

    Its about time, that the Buddhists finally wake up like the Christain world and realise what an abomonation Islam is!

    reporter Thursday, 04 October 2012 04:43 PM

    I am in B,desh closly in touch with the situation. this govt has nothing to do with vandalism or any of the misdeeds. govt cannot control the mob mentality of the people. I will reproduced what PM said about the issue.
    Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday directed the home minister not to spare anyone, whoever they might be and irrespective of their political affiliation, in connection with the attacks on Buddhist temples and houses.

    She issued the directive after a cabinet meeting at the Prime Minister's Office.

    “All the culprits responsible for the mayhem must be brought to book,” the premier told Home Minister Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir.
    therefore what happened in SL is inexcusable as BD is a close friend of SL and helped in need. our Govt will have find a place hide their heads.

    sayed Thursday, 04 October 2012 12:52 PM

    guys see the reaction tomorrow Friday

    M Alam Ovi Thursday, 04 October 2012 03:42 PM

    We r sorry for that as a Bangladeshi.Our Govt. already taken step for that.
    From Bangladesh

    Curious Thursday, 04 October 2012 02:43 PM

    They should be protesting in Bangladesh and not creating a situation in SL.

    Ratan Jyoti Thursday, 04 October 2012 02:39 PM

    @Sayed, you type people did in bangladesh, and you type of people did in SL. You type of people will do in Bangladesh and Sri lanka and public will suffer because of you type of people!!!!

    adliya Thursday, 04 October 2012 02:31 PM

    dear buddhist brothers, where were you, when buddhist kill and burn Muslims in Burma?.

    kumar Thursday, 04 October 2012 02:09 PM

    But our guys were waiting for a chance for violence.

    Fazil Thursday, 04 October 2012 01:52 PM

    I hope this is not turned intoa tit-for-tat affair with the so-called Muslim leaders taking political advantage for their own selfish survival . I hope the masses are wise enough to see through their sinister plans,let common sense prevail and let tolerance be their strong point as preached by their religion.

    Shusam Barua Thursday, 04 October 2012 01:47 PM

    I am a Buddhist from Bangladesh requesting all Buddhist please be nonviolent...Violent is not Buddhist way...may all being be happy and live in peace

    singing fish Thursday, 04 October 2012 01:23 PM

    All fanatics must be condemed whether they are hindus,buddhists, christians,or muslims.People want to live in peace and one should not be biased by religion.

    dxb Thursday, 04 October 2012 01:17 PM

    this nothing to do with religion, some animal doing this act in bangal, does not mean its islamic terrorism.

    Ratan Jyoti Thursday, 04 October 2012 01:09 PM
