Maybe you have an undescended testicle like Hitler.

What I’m doing is questioning its legitimacy as an ideology to be respected, as well as its contribution to psychopathology and the societies that grow out of such ideas. You’re right, and Islamic ferocity grew in its conquest of the Buddhist world. I’m trying to understand why you would compare a film which is supposedly about breaking free from this sort of superiority zeitgeist with a philosophy inextricable from war-like religious dogma.

More on Buddhism and Islam - Beginning in 712AD and continuing through 1030AD, Indiawas subject to massive annual invasions from Muslims who eventually conquered and destroyed much of the cultural heritage of India. In a final desperate act to annihilate Buddhism, in 1193, Nalanda University which was home to the greatest center of learnings in the East was destroyed, with thousands of monks beheaded. The destruction of the temples, monasteries, centres of learning at Nalanda and northern Indiato be responsible for the demise of ancient Indian scientific thought in mathematics, astronomy, alchemy, and anatomy. Much of what modern scholarship of Buddhist studies puzzles over today was contained in the manuscripts and minds of those who were lost during this calamity. However as the Kalachakra Tantra shows, the war between Dhamma and Islam is not over, nor is it. The prophecy includes detailed descriptions of the future invaders as well as suggested ways for the Buddhist teachings to survive these onslaughts.

It's like every religion's armageddon is converging on one point
