Killing in the Name | January 17, 2015
What does it mean to call oneself a Buddhist when these are the actions
committed in the name of Buddhism? I'm sure this is a question that
Muslims are faced with constantly, as they are caught in the vice
between Islamic fundamentalism and international anti-Muslim fervor. . .
. Ultimately, whether Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, Christianity, or any
other -ism, the worldwide push toward fundamentalism is also
heartbreaking in that it forces those of us sustained by some sort of
faith to have to say what should be obvious: these acts of violence do
not speak for us.
