Morphine Prince 109,654 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 A mob has burned down a mosque in northern Myanmar in the second attack of its kind in just over a week. Police are reported to be guarding the village of Hpakant in Kachin state, after failing to stop Buddhist villagers setting the mosque ablaze. Last week, a group of men destroyed a mosque in central Myanmar in a dispute over its construction. The UN has warned the government led by Nobel Peace Prize Aung San Suu Kyi to crack down on religious violence. The latest attack took place on Friday, when a group of villagers stormed the mosque and set it on fire. Reports said they attacked police officers guarding it, and stopped the fire brigade from reaching the site. "The problem started because the mosque was built near a (Buddhist) pagoda. The Muslim people refused to destroy the building when the Buddhists discovered it," Moe Lwin, a local police officer, told the AFP news agency. The situation had now calmed he said, adding that no arrests had been made. Source: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-36693714 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly history has a lot of Buddhists who get pissed off just like anyone else and do bad things or engage in wars. Buddhists believe that violence is always wrong, but it's easy to twist that into "Violence is evil...except when defending yourself from greater evils or greater violences of the world...." and then that gets pretty subjective and things go downhill from there.
