The Washington Post<\/a> reports that 10 climbers who were about tackle Nanga Parbat, the nnth tallest mountain in the world and the second tallest in Pakistan, were murdered by Taliban dressed in Pakistani police uniforms in their base camp. Ostensibly, they were killed in retaliation for drone strikes on their bases in Pakistan;<\/p>\n

In all, 10 people were killed, including five from Ukraine, two from China and one from Russia, according to preliminary information from Pakistani authorities. At least one Pakistani guide also was killed. At least one Chinese tourist survived and was rescued from the area, known as Fairy Meadows, officials said.<\/p>\n

Pakistan\u2019s interior minister said a U.S. citizen was killed in the assault. Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said four bodies have been identified, including those of a Chinese American, two Chinese and one local guide who is thought to be a Nepali national.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Meanwhile, it appears that even Buddhists are getting fed up with the way Muslims are treating them and they’re becoming radicalized themselves. In another Washington Post<\/a> link from ROS, there’s a “Burmese bin Laden” who has vowed to stand up to Muslim extremists;<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can be full of kindness and love, but you cannot sleep next to a mad dog,\u201d Ashin Wirathu, a spiritual leader of the movement and very popular figure in Burma, said of the country\u2019s Muslims, whom he called \u201cthe enemy.\u201d He told the New York Times, \u201cI am proud to be called a radical Buddhist.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wirathu calls himself \u201cthe Burmese bin Laden\u201d and was recently labeled on the cover of Time magazine as \u201cthe face of Burmese terror.\u201d A prominent Burmese human rights activist, after a lifetime of fighting government oppression, now warns that Wirathu\u2019s movement is promoting an ideology akin to neo-Nazism.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, I guess you can poke with a bear with a stick for just so long. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
