..unbelievably this story dates from the 21st century, not the 11th, and doesn't even involve Islam.

[from the linked BBC article] "... Burmese law makes it illegal to insult or damage any religion..." Coming soon to a country near you! All joking aside, this is appalling. And yet there are people in the world today who would have this as a universal law. There has recently been a vocal lobby in the UN to enact such laws across the entire world, so terrified are...

Oh, so disappointing. Question posted at 11:44 and still not even one response as at 14:00. Had it been anything to do with Islam………………………………
Unlike Islam which warrants criticism, Buddhism, for very good reason, attracts little.
^That's not to say that laws such as this aren't antiquated. They are.
Note that the law was about insulting ANY religion.

The difference between insulting Buddhism and insulting Islam is that with Islam there would be frothy mouthed nutcases wanting to spill blood.
After the rule of the "colonels" it will be a long time before Myanmar is a country at ease with itself. Tough on a guy whose actions were genuinely unintentional though.
There's no reason to feel disappointed keyplus.I've just been waiting to see if there was a Buddhist equivalent of a fatwa being issued, so far, nothing.

There is a reason people jump on Islam!!!
Oh, poor Ratter, why don't you try reading Quran yourself instead of depending on a website that picks just what they want you to know. Verse before or verse after would have given you the answer. So its not hard work. Is it?
Perhaps, Keyplus, as an expert, you might like to provide us unenlightened folk who are too poor to afford a copy, of the preceding and succeeding verses to those given in the link.
Nice try Keyplus, you cant deny the facts, Islam is a sick and murderous religion and you are a part of it!!
No expert, but I suspect Buddha would also be disappointed at witnessing this kind of behaviour amongst his followers.

My duty was to give the message. Then of course everyone has his/her own destiny. Good Luck.
It's hard to please goodlife, he complains when we criticise his faith and disappointed if we don't.
Sorry, keyplus not goodlife, these religious people all look alike to me.
