You know, the one that worships a pedophile warlord and flies planes into the twin towers, and executes thousands of people with their regime of radical extremists who abuse women, and want to take over the world. You know, the religion of peace.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
I like the part where Mohammed peace be upon him sets the precedent for child marriages. That's real progressiveness. Take notes, western world.

IIRC, since 9/11 Islamic fundamentalists have committed over 25,000 fatal acts of terrorism.

Shit, several probably happened today.

Well, Mahayana and Tibetan Buddhism probably count.

Jainism, however, is the only true peaceful religion.

Zen Buddhism in Imperial Japan, and Theravada Buddhism currently in Myanmar, have been exceptionally violent. It's more to do with tribalism in the second example, though, rather than any explicit doctrinal prescription.

i dont know that the zen example is really fair to use, there were a lot of factors that led to japan's rise to extreme imperialism and people have and always will use religion as an excuse for committing injustices..

there's some really good stuff in that video regarding various schools of japanese buddhism.

It feels as if Islamic extremism has remained at the same point Christian extremism was stayed in the middle ages.

Buddhist violence in Myanmar are the ethnic terror attacks, particularly against the Rohingya people and other Muslims in the region. The terror attacks were motivated by Buddhist monks (the prominent among whom is Wirathu) with the creation of the 969 Movement.[11] The violence reached prominence in June 2012 when more than 200 people were killed and around 100,000 were displaced.[12][13] According to the Human Rights Watch report, the Burmese government and local authorities played a key role in the forcible displacement of more than 125,000 Rohingya and other Muslims in the region. The report further specifies the coordinated attacks of October 2012 that were carried out in different cities by Burmese officials, community leaders and Buddhist monks to terrorize and forcibly relocate the population.[14] The violence of Meiktila, Lashio (2013) and Mandalay (2014) are the latest Buddhist violence in Burma.[15][16][17][18]

In fairness to the Myanmar situation, it's motivated much more by tribalism, racism and xenophobia than anything doctrinal. It's just unfortunate that Theravada Buddhism much more easily facilitates violence than Mahayana.

That being said, it should never be though that Buddhist extremism is as dangerous or widespread as Islamic fundamentalism.

I thought I posted this on the serious board. I'm pretty sure they moved it over here.

It's a tricky one, as the OP isn't really serious material but the discussion in the thread is certainly serious. I'm going to move it back, but I would point out to you OP that topics on the serious board should have less... inflammatory... post bodies >_>

There is no such thing as a "peaceful religion" and never will be.
