Under attack, Christians fear militant Buddhism
[TamilNet, Sunday, 10 December 2006, 03:29 GMT]
Amid growing violence in Sri Lanka that Church leaders have likened to the 'killing fields' of Cambodia, Christians in the island are facing increased persecution from Buddhist extremists, Release International reported this week. Christians in Sri Lanka are appealing to the international community for help, RI which monitors persecution of churches around the world, said. Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) also says Christians in Sri Lankan are facing more intense persecution as mob violence becomes an increasingly visible trend in the country.

Please note, I DO understand this does not line up with Buddhist teachings.
Just pointing out the errors in making sweeping generalizations of any group. Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, or Atheist.
What do yout think?
