The anonymous letter (Post September 24) calling, in an impolite way, for the repression
of foreign religions is not very logical.
Brahmanism, and later Buddhism, came from India, Christianity and Islam came from
Asia and the Middle East.
Khmer Buddhism did not offer any barrier against the use of force and corruption
and still does not. The basic values given by Lord Buddha are submerged by magic
rituals and costly ceremonies for merit.
The Pentasilla, showing the compassion to the poorest, is ignored at any level of
society, even by most of the spiritual operators.
Facts are quite visible and to unleash old phantoms is contributing to another predictable
disaster. Open your eyes before writing an appeal to violence.
Being an atheist I am not taking sides.
