#1 Big mistake. DO NOT call for a state religion. It could then be just as easily changed over to Islam. Start killing jihadis in large numbers if you want some positive results.

#2 a campaign to make Buddhism the national religion was dropped amid concerns that it would divide the country

unlike the muslim campaign to kill and terrorize the Buddhist majority, which is, of course, a unifying event

#3 Oh, I dunno-- it could be fun to watch.
It would definately be an interesting bit of turnabout/ fair play WRT the muzzies.

Won't ever happen, tho- and prolly just as well, when one considers the history of State Religions and established churches.
