The whole point of Buddhism is peace, and theyre being a horrific dissapointment. I'ts not the philosophy that compels them to do this, but the fact that humans fight when they don't agree. This has happens in about every theme of thought that has arisen in human history, blame it on the hypocrit not the philosophy.

I agree. At least from my understanding, the tenets of Buddhism are pretty clear-cut and non-contradictory compared to the cluster-fuck contradictions contained in the abrahamic religions. The execution of it is what seems to be flawed. Then again, I haven't really bothered to study actual Buddhist writings, so I could be wrong.

Right on the mark my friend
