Huh? Are you retarded? This is, in fact, exactly what the Muslims do all over the World. Like in Indonesia when armies of them went from island to island murdering entire congregations of Catholics, beheading the priests and burning the churches.
Its what they are doing now all over Kosovo and Macedonia.
Are you really this clueless?
I was in Sri Lanka for six months and was told continuously how the four great religions coexisted without incident. That is until the Muslims started blowing themselves up and hacking their neighbors to pieces. This incident is completely uncharacteristic of the Buddhists.
That’s why our job in the war on terror is to kill the muslum before he can kill himself.
Ah, Deb, how disappointing to see you of all people get all stupid about a rather obvious point.
As I said, one cannot deny the fact that Islamic extremists are guilty of great violence. The "stupid trope" is that Muslims are not the only ones who do this sort of thing. They're not -- as you should damned well know!!!!! The same sorts of things happened in Rwanda -- where neither side was Muslim. Uganda ... no Muslims there, either. How about the Congo or Liberia? Zimbabwe? Hindu/Sikh clashes in India?

And yet Sri Lanka has not been noted for its peacefulness, has it? The Tamil Tigers, for example, were not particularly pleasant -- and they're not Muslims. (Anti-Muslim, in fact.)

It may be "uncharacteristic" for Buddhists ... but there were a thousand of them in this mob. That's an awful lot of Sri Lankan Buddhist extremists, Deb -- perhaps there's a bit more to the situation than you were told?
