#13  Abu nails it.

Sunni Shia, Marx Mao, Hitler Stalin the devil's always in the details. Of course the only detail that really counts is who gets to rule.

#6  ed in texas is basically correct, the problem of course, is that those who join a religious community do so voluntarily.

Marxists, progressives, socialists, communists etc. insist on forcing everyone to live by their rules. Of course their rules prove the inverse of the golden rule.

Instead of "He who has the gold makes the rules"; they implement "He who makes the rules gets the gold".

This all breaks down to the good old law of the jungle, might makes right, or however you care to phrase it.

#5  Considering that the ethos of most religious communities is essentially socialism, this is not too surprising .

#4  Must be running low on cash.

Needs to say a few words that flatter Western rich Buddhist leftists with more money than sense so they will give him money and put "Save Tibet" bumper stickers on their Prius, enabling them (in their own delusional minds) the right to go through life thinking that they are some more highly evolved species than us mere humans.

#3  I've not had an opportunity to read anything the Dalai Lama has published, therefore I am withholding judgement.
