Yeah in which movie was it "7 years in Tibet" or "Kundun" in which Buddhist monks refuse to kill earth worms because they might get reincarnated like them? I mean after this video do you really think they're like that or is it just a smoke screen that all religions have? Religion is binding only to it's members, outsiders are always practically looked as incarnation of devil and to clergy they're just bad for business since not only do they not give money but also drive away the customers.

I can't imagine how everyone is simply ignoring this and these guys are the only ones to report it.Well it's not so unimaginable. Just look at that documentary "5 broken cameras" where you see Palestinians being harassed by Jews and even killed, not to mention scenes of night raids very reminiscent of those which Nazis did in Jewish Ghettos and still nobody really cares.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
