Can Muslims Help Two Buddhist Countries?


Picture from the Phnom Penh Post.

Does Thailand feel superior winning a war against a poor, defenseless country whose soldiers wear flip-flops?

Buddhism taught us to respect life and to remove greed; however, Thailand has done the opposite by killing Khmer people and stealing their territories. They disregard and destroy the sacred temple of Wat Keo Sikha Kiri Svara.

Over three hundred Khmer ancient temples now under the sovereignty of Thailand have generated millions of dollars per year for the Thais. Instead of showing gratitude to Khmer ancestors, the Thais have been denigrating them and their posterities. Now they want more.

The world is watching as Indonesia, a Muslim country, is trying to broker a cease-fire between the two Buddhist brothers.
