A Talibanization Of Buddhism

How ugly is Buddhism? For that answer, you don't have to dig too deep but just look at what the Buddhist monks are doing and saying epitomizing intolerance that equates to war crimes in places like Sri Lanka and Myanmar.
============
Mangala Samaraweera condemning calls by Asigiri Chief Prelate to stone Muslims, says the hateful words by the monk is a ‘Talibanization’ of Buddhism and that no Buddhist can condone a call to stone another human to death.


Publishing a tweet from his official Twitter account this morning, Mangala says now is the time for true Buddhists to unite against the religion from being tainted by violent extremism.
Mangala reminds the Buddhist community that it goes against all Buddhist principles and beliefs to condone a statement to stone another human being to death, even if it emanates from monks.
Below is his tweet:
True Buddhists must unite NOW against the Talibanization of our great philosophy of peace & love of all beings. No Buddhist can condone a statement to stone another human being to death, even if it emanates from the robed orders.
Mangala so far has been the only politician to issue a public rejection and condemnation of the Asgiri thera’s anti-Muslim speech made on Sunday, that blessed violence against Muslims.
Despite availability of video proof of the speech, Warakagoda  Sri Gnanarathana still remains immune to being charged with violating the ICCPR Act.
