Title: What on earth is going on with Buddhism.
Post by: Walt Zingmatilder on November 28, 2017, 06:57:55 PM
Does the warning to the pope from local buddhists in a far eastern country constitute a sinister development or has Buddhism always had a hard edge?

So you ignored the suffering of the Rohingya but are worried about the Pope?

Many countries have banned much of Islam such as teaching etc. Look at Japan !!!
NO mosque building.... etc

There's far more to this than peeps are saying. ;)
Is it part of a long awaited backlash against Islam?

Basically a long running ethnic conflict, aggravated by religious issues.

No. Can't be bothered. I'll just dismiss your claims as unevidenced instead. It's easier.

That's the typical attitude of those who won't face the truth of Islam. ;) :o
BYEEEEEEEEEE
So did you write this because you spent nearly four months searching for the evidence I asked for and failing to find it?

I should be asking YOU this you lazy little troll ?!!?!? LOL !!!!
You were the one making the claim, you post the evidence.

What claim?? About countries banning Islam. Japan for one. Do your own bloody homework ?!?!?
You claimed many countries have banned much of Islam. It’s your claim and your homework. You do it. Your continued avoidance of your responsibility to substantiate your claim accompanied with overt hostility just tells me that my original decision to dismiss it is correct.

EX Thanks for that.

Thanks for what? The link I posted (which I now note Seb had already posted) states that Japan is not 'banning Islam'.

You're welcome anyway.

And just who are YOU to order ME to do anything ?!?!? Your Honour ?!!?!?
I didn't order you to do anything. You don't have to support your claims with evidence if you don't want, but hell will freeze over before I do your work for you.

Anyway, the point is moot now that Robbie has posted a link that refutes your claim utterly.

Trippymonkey I saw you were logged in a little while ago and thought you might post something but you haven't.
What was all that display of ill humour about? You really are a mystery.

Wasn't me you were rude to.

Good. Now go to bed like a good little boy. It's WAY past your bedtime. !!!!! :) :) ;)
Instead of posting stupid childish insults, why not engage in the topic.

Are you going to retract your claim that Japan banned Islam?

Post by: jeremyp on April 08, 2018, 11:02:35 AM
There's always a reason for me reacting as I do. Please reread what did it.

What did it was me challenging you to back up your assertions. Then you got angry because you were too lazy to do so. In fact, had you been less lazy, you would have found out your assertions were wrong before you posted them and you wouldn't now be looking like an ill mannered idiot.
