Where Even Buddha Grips the Sword
This is the case of Myanmar, where members of other faiths are
persecuted in the name of Buddhism. Or of Sri Lanka, which
will be a destination of the pope’s next voyage. As documented
by the 2014 report of Aid to the Church in Need, on violations of
religious freedom by Sandro Magister.
ROME, October 6, 2014 – Nebuchadnezzar is still among us.
And those who do not worship his idol are thrown into
the flames, as in chapter three of the prophet Daniel. On the very
same day on which the 2014 report on religious freedom in the
world was made public by the pontifical foundation Aid to the
Church in Need, in Pakistan a crowd of four hundred enraged
Muslims attacked and threw into a burning furnace two young
Christian spouses, Shahzad Masih, 28, and his wife Shama, 25,
who left four children and were expecting another. Of the twenty
countries classified in the report with the highest level of
violations of religious freedom, fourteen are officially Muslim,
plus Nigeria which is religiously divided between Christians and
Muslims but is under the sway of Boko Haram, one of the
bloodiest expressions of radical Islam. Without counting the
new self-declared Islamic State that has set itself up between
Syria and Iraq, sowing death in the name of Allah. Islam is not,
-3-
however, the only religion that fosters acts of systematic
repression and persecution of other faiths. Among the twenty
countries with the highest level of intolerance, there is for
example one whose dominant religion is Buddhism: Myanmar
Also predominantly Buddhist is another country with a level of
intolerance that is barely lower: Sri Lanka. In the West,
Buddhism is synonymous with peace, compassion, wisdom,
ecumenical brotherhood. As is the case with its most universally
known figure, the Dalai Lama.
But the reality is much different. Religious freedom is heavily
repressed not only in Myanmar and Sri Lanka, but, albeit to a
lesser extent, in other predominantly Buddhist countries like
Laos, Cambodia, Bhutan, Mongolia. Sri Lanka will be a
destination of the voyage that Pope Francis has put on the
agenda for next January. There Buddhists are 70% of the
population, Hindus 12.6%, Muslims 9.7%, and Christians 7.4%,
most of them Catholic. For twenty-five years, until 2009, a civil
war bloodied the country, with the central government struggling
to subdue the rebellion of the Tamils in the northern part of the
island. The Tamils are mainly Hindu, but the war was more
political than religious. After the cease-fire, however, more
intolerant tendencies began to grow among the Buddhists, who
in the name of the identification between Buddhism and the
nation attack and persecute as enemies those who belong to
other faiths. The report of Aid to the Church in Need provides a
very detailed account of the violence perpetrated between 2013
and 2014 against Muslims and Christians by the most fanatical
Buddhist organizations, with the de facto support of the central
government. As does also, in its chapter on Street Lanka, the
voluminous “Black book of the condition of Christians in the
world” published these same days in Italy and France and edited
by Jean-Michel di Falco, Timothy Radcliffe, and Andrea
Riccardi. But the case of Myanmar is even more grave, and by
far. There the timid blossoming of democracy that saw the
entrance into parliament in 2012 of the dauntless champion of
freedom Aung San Suu Kyi has by no means coincided with a
drop in religious intolerance, which on the contrary - as the
report of Aid to the Church in Need puts it - “has increased in a
dramatic manner with the rise of Buddhist military nationalism.”
Here also, as in Sri Lanka, remote conflicts of an ethnic nature
have in recent years turned into aggression and persecution of a
religious nature, committed by Buddhist organizations founded
and led by monks as well as by the government armed forces.
The persecution is particularly aimed at ethnic Rohingya
Muslims and Christians of the Kachin and Chin ethnicities
in the north of the country and Karen and Karenni in the east.
There is no counting the number of mosques and
churches that have been destroyed, the villages put to fire and
sword the hundreds of thousands of persons forced to flee. News
is coming out of torture and forced conversions to Buddhism,
even at a very young age, with schools set up to turn the students
of other faiths into little monks with shaved heads and orange
robes. Importing Bibles and religious books is illegal. NonBuddhists are excluded from any career in state offices. In
Myanmar, Buddhists are 80% of the population, Christians
7.8%, Muslims 4%. On the last of these, of the Rohingya
ethnicity, the state authorities have imposed a limit of bringing
into the world no more than two children per couple.
