Buddhism 101 and other ideologies
I stand corrected. Pardon my ignorance. And now a hopefully more correct re-statement.
---corrected statement below----
Yeah, I follow you. It's ridiculous to blame any ideology for the actions of the most fervent followers of that ideology.
---sarcasm on---
As ridiculous as blaming nichiren Buddhism for kamikazes.
As ridiculous as blaming Jihadism for 9-11.
As ridiculous as blaming Chinese Communist Nationalism for the actions of Chinese police in Tibet.
As ridiculous as blaming Nazism for the actions of German followers during the Holocaust.
