I don't know... that monk hitting the muslim with a club seems to be falling behind on his "Right Action" classes.
Maybe he's just a slow learner?

Did Buddha state an exception for that?
Or, is it simply that people who profess to be Buddhists are no more willing to follow such principles when they get pissed off about something than any one else?
That, of course, makes them quite human.
I am so confused? I don't understand, it sounds as if you feel Buddha was a god of some sort? He was not, he taught about being better, he taught about ending sufferings.
You seem to think the title "Buddhist" makes someone less human or more human when the fact is Buddhism is a way of life for those whom follow his teachings. It doesn't mean you are not human, or you are not prone to everything that happens.
Fact is humans are humans. Being buddhist does not change human nature.
