   The western self indulgent hippie classes use to love Buddhists even more than Muslims (they are soooo peaceful).

     Buddhists are generally peaceful, but they’re obviously smart enough to recognize an existential threat when it bites them on the ass. Unlike the West.

   I will not pay one scintilla attention to Malinowski and his ilk until they show equal or greater concern about the Christians in the ME as their plight is dire whilst the Rohingya are only experiencing mild discomfort, and while the Buddhist Nationalism in no way mirrors the horror of islamic jihadism.

   Anyway the chorus of muslim countries clamouring to take these muslims in is deafening.

   “Anyway the chorus of muslim countries clamouring to take these muslims in is deafening.”
   Quite so. Just as they are queueing up to give those poor “Palestinians” a home..and didn’t Jordan kill dozens of Pallies?

   The actions in Burma are not without precedent. In Sri Lanka last June a group of Buddhists rioted against some Islamos and, I understand, gave them a good hiding. It is inviting to cheer on the Buddhists but aren’t they potentially just a new band of terrorists with a different banner? All very confusing to me.

     Far as I know, Buddhists generally have only reacted to violence perpetrated against them, Cad. And I have never heard of them exporting it for ideological or religious reasons.
     So I cheer them on.

       Certainly Buddhists have an air of peace about them which is diametrically opposed to the Islamos who make the headlines in a bad way.

   “The concern has stuff-all to do with “human rights” and everything to do with the fact that – for once – muslims are on the receiving end of what they’re perfectly happy to dish out to others.I don’t recall any human rights official travelling to Nigeria and lecturing about the war on Christians. Or Saudi Arabia, to ask why there are “muslim only” lanes on the freeways etc etc etc etc etc. This guy is merely pushing the Administration’s pro-muslim policies”

   Actually, the Muzbots have been on the run for over a year in the Central African Republic after their attempted religious purge of that country, which caused the Christian population to do a modern day “Charles The Hammer” on them and at last report they seen beating feet and camel for Northern Africa.

   Family members recently returned from a holiday visit to Burma…a good place that’s poised for an economic take-off.

   Burma is firmly conservative Buddhist and musos are thus unwelcome.

     I’d love to visit Burma, Flash. Have you read George MacDonald Fraser’s superb “Quartered Safe Out Here”?
     • Flashman says:

       I have KG. Also every Flashman novel every written

         Me too. I’m going to buy the whole series and re-read them. Also Bernard Cornwell’s ‘Sharpe’ series.
         “Out Here” is a wonderful book.

           I have the Sharpe series if you’re missing any of the books KG, including a couple of hard-to-find ones such as Sharpe’s Christmas. Let me know any you’re missing.

             I will, thank you Gantt.
             I’ll let you know which ones I have and I’ll return them pronto.

               Flashman’s service in the American Civil War was often alluded to, and I had hoped GMF would someday write the book. Alas, it was not to be.

     Sounds great Flash!
     Great to see that there are still countries around where the locals are keen to give any Muslims a darned good *thrashing*….

   As ever, the MSM will never tell its audience exactly WHY the Burmese are doing this. I’m not a fan of any religion but it pleases me that the Monks have some steel under their robes.

     To tell the whole story would dilute the “muslims as victim” theme.
     Isn’t it amazing, after every high-profile muzzie atrocity, there’s a rash of “news” items casting them as lovely people, victims of discrimination and undeserved backlash etc.

   The latter day Nazi-Soviet Pact Propaganda Ministry in action

   Of course, Western Socialists must say only good things about their Islamo-nazi allies in the Pact of Steel to destroy Western Civilization.

   Also, there is Media Tradition – in 1938 TIME magazine declared Hitler “Man of the Year”
