Buddhist's Becoming Violent -
03-12-2018, 05:13 AM
Far be it from us here in Freehold to advocate violence outside the prescriptions of the Bible (KJV1611), but now we're seeing even the Buddhist's step up their otherwise "peaceful" rhetoric.
For over a generation now we've witnessed the insufferable Dolly Llama excrete his pious unction repeatedly with world leaders and in other appearances while at the same time raising money that would often embarrass the cathylicks.
There doesn't seem to be a thing that the Buddhist's haven't touched in America - from beatniks, hippie peacenik flower children, and Oprah Winfrey new age religions, to yoga and meditation. The rush to bliss out America has been unrelenting - all at the expense of Jesus.
So is there anything that will wake up a blissed out Buddhist monk? According to this article there is - mooselimbs (the "religion of peace") and commies.
Now I may be speaking a little too soon here, but we may have found some new allies - and perhaps the rise of a Buddhist version of Donald Trump. One can always hope, and it's always fun to see a blessed out LIEberal's heads spin.

Rise of violent Buddhist rhetoric in Asia defies stereotypes
(AFP) Jerome TAYLOR, AFP•March 12, 2018
Hong Kong (AFP) - Buddhism may be touted in the West as an inherently peaceful philosophy, but a surge in violent rhetoric from small but increasingly influential groups of hardline monks in parts of Asia is upending the religion's tolerant image.
Buddhist mobs in Sri Lanka last week led anti-Muslim riots that left at least three dead and more than 200 Muslim-owned establishments in ruins, just the latest bout of communal violence there stoked by Buddhist nationalists.
In Myanmar, ultra-nationalist monks led by firebrand preacher Wirathu have poured vitriol on the country's small Muslim population, cheering a military crackdown forcing nearly 700,000 Rohingya into Bangladesh.
And in neighbouring Thailand, a prominent monk found himself in hot water for calling on followers to burn down mosques.
What has prompted this surge in aggressive rhetoric from followers of a faith that is so often equated, rightly or wrongly, with non-violence?
For many in the West, schooled in Buddhism via the beatniks, Hollywood, meditation classes, tropical holidays and inspirational Dalai Lama quotes, the visceral response of these monks can be a shock.
. . . .
- Invasive Islam -
In many recent cases around Asia, this aggression has been targeted toward Muslims.
After the Taliban's destruction of the Bamiyan Buddha statues in Afghanistan and the "war on terror" rhetoric, Jerryson says, warped historical grievances have "collided with recent Islamophobia".
Despite centuries of largely peaceful co-existence and trading, Buddhist fundamentalist groups portray Islam as invasive, toppling ancient Buddhist empires in Malaysia and Indonesia and now threatening the same for modern Buddhist nations through jihad or high birth rates.
Myanmar's Wirathu has built a following railing against Muslims in incendiary sermons both in person and on Facebook -- which closed down his page in January.
While Muslims make up less than four percent of Myanmar's population, Wirathu paints a millenarian portrait of an Islamic plot to eradicate Buddhism.
His Ma Ba Tha group was instrumental in pushing laws to restrict interfaith marriages and changing religion.
In Sri Lanka, Buddhist militancy has gone mainstream, with clergy seen clashing with riot police and leading anti-government protests.
During the brutal 26-year civil war, the ire of ultra-nationalists among the mainly Buddhist Sinhalese majority was focused on the island's Tamil Hindus.
But after the Tamil Tigers were beaten in 2009, hardliners turned on Muslims, who make up some 10 percent of the population.
Monk Galagodaatte Gnanasara, the movement's most prominent leader, is on bail facing hate speech charges and insulting the Koran.
"The Koran should be banned in the country," he said recently. "If you don't, we will go from house to house and campaign till it is banned."
. . . .
- 'Kill communists' -
. . . .
Puangthong Pawakapan, a politics expert at Bangkok's Chulalongkorn University, points to an earlier threat to monks from the recent past -- communism.
During the height of the Cold War in the 1970s, one of Thailand's most prominent right-wing monks -- Kittiwuttho -- famously told followers it was "no sin to kill communists".

Brother Bryan,
Your posts always are enlightening to a young, handsome, intelligent, well-built person such as I. You mentor me from afar. Jesus surely hath made this connection; let us never break it.
Despite my innate ability to learn, it is somewhat hard for me to wrap my head around Buddhists ever being a good thing. I mean, they are all chinese and it is hard to trust a chinaman. It is even harder to trust a chinawoman, since the female chinamen here in godless NYC rush about the city in their 2000 pound vehicles, seemingly looking to crush anyone in their path. One truly must put on the whole armor of God just to be a pedestrian in this way-too-oriental town. And then there's the joos, but I digress.
Violence seems far removed from anything Christian in nature, except of course for the various mentions of violence in the Holy Bible - which are many, come to think of it. And Jesus got pissed when they were selling junk items in His House of Prayer. That reminds me of the junk stores in Chinatown, where you can buy a shirt that fits the day you wear it and shrinks to a cleaning rag at its first washing. The Prada items there are reasonably priced since they come from the Prada factory in Beijing (I can't find their web page). I assume all the merchants there are Buddhist. (Chinatown and Beijing, actually).
Anyway, I don't mean to ramble. I just hope if the violence perpetrated by Buddhists gets rid of one smelly mooselimb, I'm all for it and I'm sure Christ is watching with a grin.

Lord, may I serve my equine brothers and sisters just as I do my fellow man. Amen and Amen

Never trust a chubby. They can go off at any time.
I've seen some of those kong-fu movies on the TV. The slants, gooks, nips and yellow bastards are all inscrutable killers. Godless people, all of them. They need to learn American civilization and stop being such heathens.
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

I will say what everyone is thinking - vegetarianism is bad for the body, bad for the soul. What they need is a good beef brisket sandwich to settle those nerves.
Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.

These silly Boo-dists with their idiotic, sacrilegious Kong-Foo! Even the way they fight shows just how primitive and undeveloped they are. Drunkenly swinging around "bambooh" sticks while screeching their guttural yelps, they make themselves look like apes! The real way to fight is with a nice M16 and a glock- American style! That's the way God intended it. Of course, that's why the Lord was gracious enough to bless us, his chosen people, with such superior weaponry to counter those oriental folk. I knew this was coming at some point, and if any of you God-fearing folk ever come by Texas, I'll be happy to arm you in preparation for a preemptive strike!
Praise the LORD!
Psalm 27:1
The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
