Like any other religion its a nice thing but just like anything in this world, it can be used by men to do nefarious things.
Such is humanity.

It's actually something that does legitimately occur.

Agreed. Irrational fear won't be good for anyone. Besides, all data suggest that we're changing them a lot more than they are changing us. |
It's not even about change.
I live in a country that was founded on freedom (Not America).
We have Freedom of Religion where everyone is entitled to practice their own religion, provided it does not come into conflict with any other laws. (Like Murder.)
And because we have Freedom of Religion, we have an implied Freedom which is Freedom FROM Religion.
So you are entitled to believe in whatever you want to believe... I am entitled to walk away from it all, no one is entitled to cause harm because of their beliefs though, not the Muslims, and not the right-wing extremists trying to kick them out of the country, which are often even worst.

Unfortunately he's right. Look into the deep web(past places like CNN) and you'll find cases of Buddhist extremists. |
It's not just limited to Buddhism, all religions that seem "peaceful" have horrific violence, people or rather the Media tends not to report on it, the buzzword at the moment is Muslims which helps make them money.
