Sad to say, but wherever Muslim populations encounter non-Muslim populations, they push and push and push until the non-Muslim population just can't fucking stand it anymore.

Yes, they don't seem to be able to get along with anyone. There's nothing quite like Islam in the world - in a bad way.

Uh, what? He's right you know... shift from philosophy to religion, shift from a master and his enlightened students showing the way to worship of a host of supernatural beings, shift from a life of renouncing the world to living in it and expecting salvation from divine intervention and shift from a "nirvana" that is essentially dissolution to access to a "pure land" paradise... mahayana (and zen) ARE corruptions of buddhism.

Perhaps it's the emotion-laden word "corrupted" that is inducing the face palm...

"Considerably altered from its roots" may be a better description?
