We Cannot Ignore Buddhist Extremism—Lions Roar

[Ficus]

Just a reminder to try to keep as close to the OP’s main theme about ‘We cannot ignore Buddhist extremism’ and avoid making inflammatory statements condoning “Buddhist” Nazis and the like that will derail this topic, and which are not allowed on D&D anyway.

Please keep in mind the following from our guidelines/FAQ

@Gillian

3.2 Please do not:

express patriarchal, misogynist, sexist, bioessentialist, xenphobic, transphobic, TERF (Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist), homophobic, racist, anti-Semitic, or pro-Nazi views or any other kind of hateful views

And to clarify further…the moderators are here to help keep the forum a safe place, and make sure all topics and posts adhere to our guidelines.

Any views that try to tie Buddhism to notions of national, cultural, racial and gender superiority are not allowed.

Q17 Since the Buddha was the original ‘Aryan’, what is wrong with my espousing such traditional philosophy?

A : Remember that some words mean more than you think they do, or imply something worse than they say! Think before you post. Be civil. Don’t post anything that a reasonable person would consider offensive, abusive, or hate speech. Anyone advocating hateful views will be banned without warning. We have a zero tolerance approach to misogyny, sexism, homophobia, racism, anti-Semitism, pro-Nazism… in short, any kind of -ism or any kind of speech espousing anger, hate or violence towards any group. Making insinuations against any particular group (eg women) in a way that seeks to deny their equal status, (even if couched in apparently polite terms or as espousing traditional views) is strictly forbidden. Likewise, extremist views that try to tie Buddhism to notions of national, cultural, racial and gender superiority are not allowed.
