Roudy -
No, Roudy, it's not a deflection - it is yet another laugh-out-loud error from you.
And yet another error that you simply can't and won't admit to.
Firstly, many Christians have a cross at home. Does that mean they worship the cross, or does the cross merely represent God and the Holy Trinity as a symbol?
Secondly, if there is no such ting as Buddhist terror, how would you describe the Sinhalese terror cells in Sri Lanka?
While some Christian churches border on idol worship, such as bowing before the statue of Mary etc it is not like Buddhists which believe the actual statue itself has powers, and especially Hinduism, which is entirely idol worship. There are sects of Buddhism, mostly in the West, that have taken idol worship out of their ideology.
Firstly, there is a history of terror within Buddhism, particularly within some schools of Buddhism, such as that practiced in Sri Lanka - less so in Tibetan buddhism. Also Cao Dao Buddhism, practiced in Cambodia, can muster fairly impressive bursts of violence when it so chooses.
Buddhists, which are GENERALLY SPEAKING, very peaceful and tolerant people.
I don't disagree from my own personal experience - but the histories of Cambodia, Viet Nam and Sri Lanka are more violent than those on Malaysia, Jordan or Tunisia, and saying there is no terror in Buddhism is both false and dishonest.
Secondly, Buddhists worship Buddha. They do not worship a statue. The fact that shrines in peoples home, offices and even in streets are sacred is little different to a Christian cross or photo of Jesus being sacred.
