Buddhists gone wild!
Boy, you think you know peopleA mob of some 100 Buddhists recently ransacked a church in Kok Pring during a Sunday mass, destroying the cross at the altar, breaking windows and throwing Bibles into puddles of water. Guess theyâre not all Dalai Lama-Richard Gere we-love-everything-and-everybody-even-worms-and-ants type folks. According to the World Evangelical Alliance Religious Liberty Commission (WEARLC), several believers were injured during the July 13 incident. The vandals accused the church -- located near the border of Vietnam -- of having contempt for the Buddhist community. Police said the mob believed the churchâs presence was the cause of a three-year drought, the Associated Press reported. Contempt for the Buddhist community? Yeah, Christianityâs a big threat to Buddhism in Cambodia these days. Some 86 percent of Cambodians are Buddhist and just 1 percent are Christian. Man, thatâs disappointing. Next thing you know, weâll be overrun by these hordes of wild-eyed marauding Unitarians, raping and pillaging. You watch. Posted by: Christopher Johnson 2003-07-29 |
