Islam and Democracy

[Ryokan]

And I am saying that if Tibet were really a dictatorship before China invaded, then they went against the teachings of Buddha.

That might be.

But there's a Buddhist dictatorship in Asia today, I'm sorry to say.

Burma/Myanmar.

Oh, and since the discussion has touched the subject of Buddhism, I can say that the Buddha asked his followers not to mix government and Buddhism, and that his followers stay away from matters of state.

This advice has not always been followed, both for good and for bad.
