Please pray for churches in India. Buddhist extremists in India burned
down 20 churches last night. Tonight they plan to destroy 200 churches
in the province of Olisabang. They plan to kill 200 missionaries
within 24 hours. This is a hoax. There are no “provinces” in India,
there are states. There is no state of Olisabang. There are no
Buddhist extremist groups in India that I’m aware of (though there are
some in Sri Lanka, and there have been reports of anti-Christian
violence there in recent years) . There have been violent attacks in
the Indian state of Orissa; these have been perpetrated by Hindu
extremists, however. This anti-Christian violence is a genuine cause
of concern–but no one is helped by passing on hoax e-mails without
checking the facts. Posted in Uncategorized « Glenn Beck on “Social

You can start editing here. Responses Bill, so did I. I have forwarded
this to friends in India who may have connections that can reduce the
impact of such hoax emails….. you aare entirely correct about both
“the Province of Olisabang” and “Buddhist extremists” — the latter
being an oxymoron of major proportions as all followers of the Buddha
are committed to peace and non-violence. — a Quaker Friend in

astonished when i heard about this news..it really alarmed our church
but however we are stiil praying for them By: ainna on March 12, 2010
at 9:16 am albeit, we should “PRAY WITHOUT CEASING” By: Dell Cuya on
March 12, 2010 at 10:17 pm While I would agree that the email was a
hoax,I will not say that Buddhist extremists do not exist. Read about
the life of Sadhu Sundar Singh a Indian of the punjabi community who
was formerly Hindu but latter had an experience of Christ. Because of
the “non-violent nature” of Buddhists the book says which prevented
them from torturing anyone they threw him into a well. Quite merciful
it appears. At the end of the day the Bible does proclaim that Jesus
alone is the prince of peace . And besides Buddhism has no explicit
mention of God so its demons they worship. Research the beliefs of the
Dalai Llama. By: El Gregor on March 13, 2010 at 12:54 pm I am so aware
of hoax that the first thing I did was to check to see if this was
true. I just this one tonight. Although this will not prevent me from
praying for the christians in India I wish there was a way to prevent
these hoax. Thanks for your info. By: natalie on March 17, 2010 at
8:11 pm buddhist are supposedly peace loving people. and how could
they burn 200 churches when the major religion there is hinduism. I
didn’t believe that news right away. By: joy on March 19, 2010 at 6:21
am i would believe if the news said they’d burn down 200 temples coz,
that’s the majority of houses of worship in india By: joy on March 19,
2010 at 6:23 am Hi there I received the e-mail as well and it was
forwarded to me, but it was from a Pastor that my church knows over in
India. So I am totally confused on this matter because Christian
Persecution is happening, and happening even now as I am writing this.
By: Gabrielle on March 19, 2010 at 2:21 pm No matter it is true or
just a lie/hoax, but let us pray to all the believer of Christ, so we
can show the world that we are living by His Mercy and only.. GBU By:
parhobass on March 21, 2010 at 9:53 pm I was taken by surprise when
this email was send in by my friend. But I thought about it and had to
recheck this news because I had to pass it on. I’m glad i didn’t.
Well, that doesn’t mean that we should stop praying for the ones who
are being persecuted for being a christian. The best thing we can do
for each other is ‘pray for one another’. EGS By: Shanmi on March 24,

or the Sangha you should not get angry, resentful or upset because of
that. For if you did you would not be able recognize if what they said
was true or not. Therefore, if others speak disparagingly of me, the
Dhamma or the Sangha you should explain whatever is incorrect saying:
“This is not correct, that is not true, we do not do this, that is not
our way” ‘ (Dhammapad.I,1-3).
