Monk calls on govt to burn down 1 mosque for 1 dead Buddhist monk
By Coconuts Bangkok



BANGKOK: -- A Buddhist monk has urged the government to burn a mosque for every Buddhist monk killed by insurgents in the deep South and to let people in the southern provinces carry guns.

The radical views were posted on Facebook by Aphichat Promjan, chief lecturer monk at Benjamabophit Temple on Thursday.

“If a [buddhist] monk in the three southern border provinces dies from an explosion or being shot at the hands of the ‘Malayu bandits’, a mosque should be burned, starting from the northern part of Thailand southwards,” the monk said.

The term ‘Malayu bandits’ refers to the insurgent groups in the three Southern provinces of Pattani, Narathiwat and Yala.

This Guy definately doesn't have a natural calling for the Bhuddist Monkhood!

He might fit in well with what happens in Myanmar.

[Ks45672]

I like it, let's do what he says....

[tbthailand]

moron, ... strip him of his robes.

[tbthailand]

This reminds me of decades ago when a crazy, let's say "ultra-conservative" monk tried to claim that killing people, ... as long as they were communists... was a net-gain on the ol' merit-making scale.

'nuff said.

Mosques are only mortar and bricks and replicable, human life aren't, so far those Muslim terrorists

are killing innocent people indiscreetly and with malic, as many as 6,000 people are already dead

and counting, and if it take a very radicle and extreme idea to stop it, that I'm all for it...

[clockman]

The Thai brand, of Buddhism!

[BuckBee]

A good idea for once .

[jacky54]

He is not calling for murder, just doing away with a property that is probably spreading hate resulting in murder.

[tbthailand]

string of looney posts... people - do you not understand religious extremism? No religion has a monopoly on it.

ignorance pure.

No. What he is saying is let's try and push Islam as far south as possible. Reports do say it is a minority of Muslims causing the problem. But it's definitely a problem!

[pinkpanther99]

Not all that surprising.

This kind of thing actually happens every day in Myanmar, with its hard-line radical monks.

I have to say that Buddhism in Thailand really does leave a lot to be desired.

What with their iPads, iPhones, people praying to win the lottery etc - I mean, how far removed from Buddhist values is that?

I wonder if the govt would ever dare launch a crackdown on the Buddhist monks?

Both sides in this conflict have committed atrocities and are guilty of indiscriminate murder.

This idiots solution is moronic.

[pitrevie]

I am sure it will find favor in Malaysia and lead to greater cooperation with the Malaysian authorities in the fight against terrorism.

[shirtless]

Well so far nothing else has worked maybe a realistic way to bring these terrorists to behave, we know how much they love there house of worship look how many they have built in the west.

I've read the problem down south is very complex. Due to corrupt government officials and substantial amounts of money involved. It's not all a religious issue.

But this monk should be disrobed.

[smutcakes]

even if you take a hardliine, i just fail to see what benefit doing something as stupid as this would do...

[WhizBang]

Thai Buddhism at it's finest.

This can only end badly.

[chainarong]

Regardless whether this is a good or bad idea from us laymen , this person is a man of the cloth and it doesn't matter whether that person is a priest , Inman , Monk or pastor ,they are a person of the cloth, this is such a good example of why you don't back religion and the reason to declare yourself an Atheist , religion is a portal of supposably peace, this Buddhist Monk looks like he wants peace , a piece of the action , it is well documented that religion along with the female species are the main cause of all wars, so we shouldn't be too surprised by this stupid idea........

[Bender]

thai budhism = business

and apparently their business is disturbed by muslims people.

[cumgranosalum]

"Radical" is not the word I'd use to describe this guy......

[katana]

I've heard them described as command and control centres.

[tomloughney]

Obama said that fighting has no place in the 21st century.........

[soalbundy]

Chrystal Nacht all over again, didn't do Adolf much good

[rkidlad]

This man is a douche and should be disrobed for inciting violence and hatred. He's the anti-Buddhist.

How about a temple is burnt down for every Muslim killed by a Buddhist?

Oh no, that's definitely not okay!!!. As long as it doesn't affect me and my kind - it's alright by me.

[Paul888]

It truly is amazing how few Thai people ever consider the consequences or repercussions of an action.

[Time Traveller]

What's the big deal? They're just killing and destroying each other's property. That's what Religions do.

[chuang]

Do you know that in Indonesia and Malaysia they demolished and burned churches...so..
