Buddhists Monks Burn Down Mosque In Sri Lanka

Christine sent me this story yesterday. But, I didn't post it because the BBC article portrayed the attack as if a bunch of insane, militant-extremist Buddhists, driven mad by the teachings of their Prophet, had suddenly taken up torches and pitchforks, without any provocation, and headed off to violently attack Muslims.

Well, guess what? I didn't believe it. And, I wasn't going to post such horse shit.

Today there is a bit more clarification to the story, and I assume more will come soon.

From Vlad Tepes:

At last an explanation for the attacks in Sri Lanka. (Starts at about 20 seconds) 

It seems that the Muslims who built a mosque there were told they could not have it but the Buddhist monks were kind enough to allow them to continue to use it till the end of Ramadan. In response for their kindness, the muslims continued to use the mosque and refused to end its use claiming they had permission to make it permanent. Then the Buddhists appear to have made a zoning call on their own.
