I'd like to see one of these activists reaction if one of their sons or daughters were beheaded, for being a Buddhist.

Would they pamper the culprit? Make sure he's comfy?

Would they suggest being nice to associates of the murderer, even if information gleaned from them may save another innocent life?

Violence against children is deplorable and inexcusable.

But taking out the pliers and a blowtorch on these animals warms my heart.

Hope you take a dose of the same medicine.

It's been happening forever. Get used to it.

What is wrong with wanting some of those animals in the south who behead Buddist to get punished and hurt ?

Its not like he is asking to hurt innocent people.
