Buddhism v Islam in Asia Fears of a new religious strife

[Developereo]

No.

But it is not selective like you.

And yes, I look at it from a different angle than you.

My comment is academically sound; yours is emotionally tainted.

The vast majority of the rank and file separatists were Hindus.
The leadership were postcard Christians only -- to get Western support.

Developereo, now you are just arguing for the sake of it.. Prabhakaran, the founder of LTTE and also many prominent members of LTTE were Christians..

Dude, that is the only terrorist organisation in South Asia, which we Christians can be linked with.. Do not take that away from us

Wow.

But then we know how the conspiracy theorist mind operates.

9/11, Boston, Moscow. We know the drill.

Yes, there is a problem within and all your denial will change nothing.

War is like that its tough, you win some you lose some, when you're strong you can destroy your enemy if you go through a weak period you take punishment

Yes we lost Spain, but equally Muslim armies marched to within distance of Paris and kept north Africa and many other former Christian lands

Even the crusades were defended against and eventually the crusaders thrown out by force

You win some you lose some

this is what i said before, u might live in christian countries but u people hate them like hell,this proves islam cannot blend with nonmuslims

That was more to do with ethnicity, very little to do with religion.

All conflicts have a mix of ethnic and cultural aspects.

Remind me which African Muslim country is facing armed christian separatist groups, Sri Lankan conflict as I said was an ethnic one, and yup that just leaves Muslims. Muslims in South East Asia, Muslims in Africa, Muslims in India, Muslims in China, Muslims in Russia. is it just me or do we see a pattern here?

There are scores of conflicts in Africa, South America and elsewhere not involving Muslims. Feel free to educate yourself.

Also, as I wrote, all conflicts have a mix of ethnicity and culture: Malay Muslims v/s Siamese Buddhists; Moro Muslims v/s Filipino Christians; Tamil Hindus v/s Sinhalese Buddhists.

 

[Iggy]

Yes, they were only Hindus

But we are human, in centuries past a Muslim with a sword could overcome these massive odds, Hindus and Buddhists would lose their nerve in battle

With bullets and fighting at distance, it would just be needless slaughter of innocent men

Suddenly you become so caring??

Excuses mate excuses.. Take your macho ism to some other place!!

Developereo, now you are just arguing for the sake of it.. Prabhakaran, the founder of LTTE and also many prominent members of LTTE were Christians..

I posted the facts of Prabhakaran's life. He and others were postcard Christians only, and the vast majority of the rank and file were Hindus.

conspiracy theorist

You can save us all the trouble and say you have run out of arguments.

 

[Vinod2070]

Yes, they were only Hindus

But we are human

Is that so? That is supposed to be a news?

in centuries past a Muslim with a sword could overcome these massive odds, Hindus and Buddhists would lose their nerve in battle

With bullets and fighting at distance, it would just be needless slaughter of innocent men

Those who lost their nerve are Muslims today.

And are making such claims.

 

[EAK]

May be because Islamic world never experienced the enlightenment.

says a hindu baniya ...who still rape there daughters as a ritual... so shusshhh u don't have right to talk about enlightment...

 

[hussain0216]

So you admit this is absolute büllshit.



müzzies are only brave when bravery favors them, else they surrender like little girls.

Look at the odds against us in Palestine or kashmir or Burma or Afghanistan

Hindus and Buddhists would have surrendered like cowards after what the israel did and are doing, or after what India did in kashmir

Its because we are Muslims we have the bravery to keep resisting

Afghanistan would be speaking Russian if it was Hindu or Buddhists


The indians thought the taliban were finished when the U.S invaded but never underestimate the muslim will to resist and fight back

Oh leave it to rest. We didn't fight the LTTE because they were Hindu. We do not care who they were Hindu, Christian or Muslim we do not let them exist in Sri Lanka.

 

[Iggy]

@vsdoc, how are you??

 

[Vinod2070]

My comment is academically sound; yours is emotionally tainted.

Keep telling that to yourself.

Can't say it helps but it is a pattern.

You can save us all the trouble and say you have run out of arguments.

I am doing fine thank you.

 

[Lux de Veritas]

There are much more dimension to this conflict rather than "Buddhist" vs "Muslim". The Chinese Muslim, Panthay are not singled by the Burmese and they are left unmolested. Panthay are sheltering Rohingyas now.

We didn't fight the LTTE because they were Hindu.

The issue isn't why YOU fought the LTTE, but what THEIR rallying cal was: it was a mix of ethnic and religious concerns.
