An Al Jazeera report titled "Myanmar's Buddhist terrorism problem" cites major clashes that erupted in May 2012 and which displaced numerous Muslims. But, as one digs further, one realizes that these clashes were sparked after Muslims raped and
slaughtered a Buddhist woman.
And a New York Times article tells of how
Ashin Wirathu, a Buddhist monk with a rock-star following in Myanmar, sat before an overflowing crowd of thousands of devotees and launched into a rant against what he called "the enemy"--the country's Muslim minority. "You can be full of kindness
and love, but you cannot sleep next to a mad dog," Ashin Wirathu said, referring to Muslims. "I call them troublemakers, because they are troublemakers."
While all such reports are meant to highlight Buddhist intolerance, for those who can read between the lines--or who are familiar with Islamic teachings, history, and current events--it is clear that Buddhists are responding to existential threats
posed by the Muslims living among and around them.
Consider the words of Fr. Daniel Byantoro, a Muslim convert to Orthodox Christianity:
For thousands of years my country (Indonesia) was a Hindu Buddhist kingdom. The last Hindu king was kind enough to give a tax exempt property for the first Muslim missionary to live and to preach his religion. Slowly the followers of the new
religion were growing, and after they became so strong the kingdom was attacked, those who refused to become Muslims had to flee for their life to the neighboring island of Bali or to a high mountain of Tengger, where they have been able to keep their
religion until now. Slowly from the Hindu Buddhist Kingdom, Indonesia became the largest Islamic country in the world. If there is any lesson to be learnt by Americans at all, the history of my country is worth pondering upon. We are not hate mongering,
bigoted people; rather, we are freedom loving, democracy loving and human loving people. We just don't want this freedom and democracy to be taken away from us by our ignorance and misguided "political correctness", and the pretension of tolerance. (

The fact is, as in other countries where they are minorities, Muslims in Buddhist nations often initiate violence and mayhem. In Buddhist-majority Thailand, where Muslim minorities are concentrated in the south, thousands of Buddhists--men, women,
and children--have been slaughtered, beheaded, and raped, as Muslims try to cleanse the region of all "infidel" presence. (Click here for graphic reports and images that shed light on why Buddhists are becoming increasingly anti-Muslim.)
Accordingly, Wirathu, the "radical" Buddhist monk cited by FT, NYT, and Al Jazeera--the latter simply calls him the "Burmese bin Laden"--is on record saying: "If we are weak, our land will become Muslim." The theme song of his party speaks of people
who "live in our land, drink our water, and are ungrateful to us"--a reference to Muslims--and how "We will build a fence with our bones if necessary" to keep them out. His pamphlets say "Myanmar is currently facing a most dangerous and fearful poison
that is severe enough to eradicate all civilization."
To this, the NYT scoffs, pointing out that "Buddhism would seem to have a secure place in Myanmar. Nine in 10 people are Buddhist... Estimates of the Muslim minority range from 4 percent to 8 percent..."
As mentioned, however, in neighboring Thailand, Muslims also make for about 4% but are engaged in a genocide against Buddhists in the south where Muslims are concentrated.
More importantly, history--true history, not the whitewashed versions currently peddled in American schools--demonstrates that for 14 centuries, Islam has, in fact, wiped out entire peoples and identities: what we today nonchalantly refer to as the "
Arab World" was neither Arab and almost entirely Christian in the 7th century, when Islam came into being and went on the jihad. Today, Christians remain a persecuted and steadily dwindling minority.
If Buddhists understand that their entire civilization is at stake, the FT, NYT, and of course Al Jazeera editorials carry all the trademarks--moral relativism and pro-Islam bias, and that dangerous mixture of confidence and ignorance--that
characterize the Western elites' inability to acknowledge, let alone respond, to Islamic aggression.
