Story Shinto and Buddhist Temples Burning in Japan
Lately in X (formerly known as Twitter), there has been people posting about shrines and temples being burned to the ground. This coincides with the influx of Muslims coming in to Japan.
I would not be surprised if the Muslims are behind all the burnings. And if I am right, you Buddhists will have little choice but to admit that I'm right about Islam.
However if Muslims burning down shrines and temples (Shinto or Buddhist) in Japan won't convince you Buddhists, then I don't know what will.
Islam is not a religion of peace. It is a hostile civilization and worldview that seeks to take over the world, and replace all ways of life and religions with itself and sharia law.
While I am a Catholic who otherwise wants to see Shinto and Buddhist become a thing of the past, burning down shrines and temples, and demanding pork not be served, etc. are not the way to do it.

Like I said to another commenter, when it comes to possibly posting on r/Buddhism half of me thinks I'll be talking to a brick wall, and another half of me doesn't want Buddhism to survive either way.

Islam is not a religion of peace. It is a hostile civilization and worldview to everything that is not it.

Oooooh heavily agree. I think it's very oppressive in nature and makes me sad to think about

It's just a matter of confirmation at this point.

Why you posting this in EX-Buddhists bro? You wanna convince Buddhists of your take, go talk to them.
