What is the West going to do to help the state of Buddhism in the East, which is now under threat of violence, murder and terrorism?
We are witnessing the same state of situation as was in the past by the same group of people who murdered Buddhism in India and China. These people have forced Buddhists to flee or convert into their religion. Many Buddhists are taking this for granted.
Presently, there is a growing threat in countries (especially) such as Sri Lanka, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam. There are many more Asian countries facing similar (or soon to face) such situations.
People who become Buddhists are attracted to the 'peaceful' side of Buddhism, but often forget that running away from a problem is never a solution. Hence, peace is never found by avoiding disasters. Existing Buddhists are submitting to the 'law of karma' and share 'compassion' and develop 'patience' but as a true Buddhist, it is a matter beyond lipservice. It is a problem that needs action.

If anyone goes against Buddhism, we have to defend our selves against the evil and protect Buddhism.
Although in general Buddhists are calm and innocent people (who are real Buddhists) we have to protect our religion and we have to fight against the evil and protect our human rights.
I don't think western countries will pay much attention in this case and we have to solve our problems.
Take a look at the Sri Lankan history and how the brave Great Buddhist Kings and Buddhists fought against the evil to protect Buddhism.

What do you suggest? I believe that even a Buddhist has a right to defend themselves. Question is.... Who will stand up to these evil men who would subjugate men of peace?

I thought the beauty of Buddhism is that it is JUST ABOUT THE SELF.....WHO NEEDS TO GO AROUND PROFESSING FAITH IF IT COULD GET THEM IN TROUBLE?
Note: You may be in danger of coming across as an EVANGELICAL BUDDHIST.....AND THAT IS NOT A GOOD THING.

I don't know about any of the politics you've mentioned, but I do know that sometimes you have to fight to keep the peace.
