The News: I couldn't make this stuff up!

This just in from The Australian - it's a real headline folks.

Buddhist monks brawl at peace protest

"PROTESTERS calling for an end to recent violence in Sri Lanka found themselves brawling with hardline Buddhist monks today, after a rally dubbed a 'peace protest' turned unexpectedly violent."

Apparently some of the monks were pro-war and one thing led to another.

Ha!

Yeah, whenever people damn the violence and meanness of Western religion as opposed to the peaceful and enlightened East, I snort and point out the Hindu and Buddhist nationalists.

Yeah. Most people forget that the Kara-Khitai Empire was Buddhist and hell-on-wheels until they ran foul of Genghiz Khan.
