Racial harmony in Singapore: How Singaporean Chinese did it

[70U63]

What he mean is if Japan have significant Muslim population, a lot of thing will change or have significant impact on the original culture and way of life.
This is not judge whether it is right or wrong, but those are their right. Or you pretend to ignore this.
It is impossible that newcomers will adapt 100% to the local way of life.

A lot of advance countries will accept certain amount of refugee every year (let's assume most of them are from poor countries and are Muslim) because it can send a good image (PR) to the rest of the world, they called this soft power. We also can assume that behind the closed-door, the policy makers will make sure the Muslim population is insignificant compare to the rest. There's no point for me to explain more, i think you know what i mean.

Of course religion will always be used as a card in politic world, we can see it all around the world.

Hahahaha! My Chinese friend, you have an agenda against Japan eh? I can see through your beautiful teethy smile!

I challenge you to find one scripture in Buddhism that promotes violence or even remotely associated with violence. Until then, your argument won't make sense.

None of those Buddhists are fighting to establish some "Buddhist Caliphate", these are simply nationalist conflicts. Even Christian Sri Lankans don't have any positive attitude towards muslims.

So are you denying that there is no violence being directed by buddhist towards any other religion or their history full of peaceful.
I guess youre grossly unaware of modus operandi of Buddhist nationalists in Sri Lanaka and Myanmar, but since you believe that it is only Islam which is voilent. Here read some

I didn't knew that Sri Lankan Christians were the benchmark to gauge how bad other religions were or they always supported the oppressed in that country. I guess then they must have been the most vocal religious group against atrocities committed by Sinhalese against Tamils for decades, or they didn't.

The problem with you and people like you who try to put this outward argument as being rational blame muslims for whatever is happening across the muslims world, completely overlooking the role colonial powers played pre and post WWII. I am sorry but you are the same hater as any one else out there, blame the victim and blame the religion by those who abuse its name.

Furthermore Buddhism is another man made religion, just like every other religion and man by nature is violent and the modern view on buddhism suggesting that buddhists are some kind of white doves is nothing but an utter lie.

Why you say this, my buddy? What's in your mind, what it is. You want more Muslims in Japan, you would appreciate my best wishes.

At least there is some mind there, in your case I am not so sure.

The funny thing , that I learned from my Singaporean friend is that most interracial marriages that happen in Singapore are between Chinese and Indian.... rarely would any of these marry a Malay. Pretty obvious why.

Can you read?? As I said, if Buddhism inspire violence then show one scripture in it that advocates violence. All thise conflicts are nationalist and they are not fighting to have a Buddhist caliphate. If their opponent is another Buddhist, the same thing would happen. Eastern cultures work differently from western and middle eastern.

Those religious groups didn't advocate killing non-buddhists and mass converting others into Buddhism.

You wont find anything in Buddhist scripture of Christian new testament in advocating violent but there are plenty of violent in Old Testament and Koran.

That is to say, Buddhist mob are not able use Buddha as an excuse for their murder not like some other religion.

Yes ... there is no violance in Buddhism ... like stone the unbelievers and chop their heads off
Ofcourse a buddhism follower may be violent or may be a saint..... but as a minority I would feel 1000000000% safer in a buddhist country like Sg, China, Japan than Islamic or Christian(where they have political power)...

It doesn't also tell you to establish buddhist countries and force others to play by its moral values so Dalai Lama a hypocrite. They don't use Buddha but they use other figures who left monk life to fight invaders.

Buddhism does not advocate any kind of violence towards anyone in any occasion. Buddhism is a pacifist religion. The violence which you have seen and heard in Buddhist countries have arose from the racial tensions.

If anyone abuse the name of Islam then it is the responsibility of the Muslims to clear it up. Otherwise non-Muslims would do that for the Muslims. I don't think you would like that to happen.

So what youre saying is that Buddhist although using name of religion to mount a crusade against others is an act that should be separated from Buddhism, if I accept your argument that Buddhism scriptures does not inspire violence then please enlighten me is blaming nationalism enough? I am sorry but your argument is inherently flawed, the perception that some how buddhists are all butterflies thanks to propaganda over looks the bloody history of Buddhism, be it east or west these are all man made religions and man is prone to violence and greed. Buddhist propaganda denies these basic premises of humanity, unfortunately.
And by the way in Myanmar, they are striving for only Buddhist country. Sri Lanka you cant even sit on white special seats reserved for Buddhist Monks on an airport, so please enough with the strawman argument.

Maybe its time to use Islamo apologetic and apply to Buddhism. Myanmar 969 and a small number of Sinhalese clowns who shit on Tamils are not buddhist, so it has nothing to do with Buddhism.

As per ISIS is not Islam and no one is more peaceful than Islam... Islam is BIG victim

It seems that you have problems with reading. Buddhism doesn't have any scriptures that talk anything about warfare or personal life. There is not even such ting called "converting to Buddhism". As I said, it's difficult for you to understand the role that religion plays in Eastern societies. India is probably the only eastern country that defines itself with religion but in other countries we don't have such a thing. A Sri Lankan Buddhist is Sri Lankan first then Buddhist not the other way around and a Sri Lankan Christian is culturally closer to a Buddhist Sri Lankan than a Buddhist Thai or Burmese. If they are threatened by other Buddhists, the same outcome will happen. Yes Buddhists principles are not realistic for a layman's life. And no, there are no Sri Lankans who are trying to make SL a Buddhist-only country. WTF?? Where did you get that idea from?
