I had no idea! I always listen to lots of Buddhist teachers and many have been to Malaysia, and I always thought of it much differently after reading. I had to check Wikipedia to find out Buddhism is about 20% whereas 60% are Islamic

This whole thread makes me feel the world is poorly understood by it’s’ inhabitants. Israelites and Islamic communities hold similar sites sacred, as well as Christians, whose most interesting place of worship is in the West Bank.

Everyone needs to get over this stuff. Arabs used to be the most advanced civilization around with astronomy, math, etc and they’ve slowly fought themselves into a period of major regression. 700 AD was their times, and they’ve regressed from it.
