The generals thoroughly politicized the Sangha in Burma and used the monks to further the authoritarian regime. The Sangha is the controlling council. As a result, the monks were used against the Christians, the Muslims and the pro democracy movement. So you aren’t seeing a typical Buddhist reaction to the aggression of the Muslims. Not too peaceful that is.

Recommending boycotts and non-interaction with muslims on Facebook is aggression? lol

Buddhists will defend themselves. There is nothing atypical about that.
