Buddhist monk attacked after being mistaken for a Muslim

[S10]

TROUT LAKE, Wash. — Kozen Sampson, a Buddhist monk and co-founder of the Trout Lake Abbey retreat, said he was attacked Monday during a visit to Hood River.

He doesn't remember much, but says a man, who seemingly thought he was Muslim based on his clothing, attacked him for no reason.

"I pulled over, someone ran up and yelled. I turned around, they kicked the door, hit me in the side of the face and knocked my head into the frame of the car," Sampson said. "I do remember [him yelling] an F bomb [about] Muslims, and that was it."

But instead of anger and hatred towards that man, Sampson said he only feels forgiveness and compassion.

How stupid do you have to be when you can't properly identify the group you supposedly hate?

Yes and Pakistan is the standard bearer of human rights. Wrong example. USA claims to uphold democracy and human rights, it even invades countries based on a ''baddy'' list it made.
