Keep up the good work. Eliminate them one rag-head at a time.

Buddhism is a religion of peace.

OTOH, the history of Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand and Burma is not exactly congruent with Buddhists being incapable of violence.

Homes and shops? Try burning down a mosque and THEN see what happens!

Only a religion of hate...filled with tribal cavemen and led by low IQ “holy” men could do that.

Oh, forgot......

Buddhists know how to deal with Muslims. Sorry...but you can’t “turn the other cheek” if your enemy has chopped off your head.

Buddhists want peace. And they’re willing to take action to achieve it.

The Muslims have been working at that for quite a while.

""There is a mosque in almost every village in our township and we live a peaceful co-existence," he said as he headed to the scene, adding that at least one mosque was burned down in the violence."

That's a problem. A base for the blood cult in almost every village. The Muslims cannot live in peace with non-Muslims. Their belief system is one of conquest, subjugation and death. All others need to recognize this and act on this knowledge.

More than that. "Northwestern Myanmar" borders Bangladesh. They are getting muslims illegally immigrating from Bangladesh, and then blending into the existing Muslim communities. Something like the US's issue with Hispanics, only potentially deadlier.

The Buddhists realize they must deal with the situation before it becomes too big to control.

All the more reason to celebrate the eighth of April.

True.

The word "Islam" is usually translated as "submission," other than by idiots who think it means "peace," or say they do, anyway.

Ideologically, though perhaps not etymologically, I suggest it should more accurately be translated as "subjugation," or possibly "domination."

First, I didn’t say incapable, second, These were countries led by communist dictators.
All in all, Buddhists are peaceful..Yet, they have the Bushido code that they can and have unleashed.
