WHILE IT'S EASY to pick on Christian fundamentalists,

too many other similarly fundamentalist-
types of other religious persuasions, Atheists, Agnostics,
Buddhists, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, etc. etc., they too are
equally deserving to be "picked on" from time to time...

Ordinarily I'd ignore this well-documented idiot,
but really...

....can someone describe for me the chracteristics
of a 'fundamentalist' Buddhist that would be worrisome,
or worth picking on?

Would they predict (with glee?) the end of the world?

Or the certainty of some impending asteroid or comet
wiping out great gushing portions of mankind?

Do they make fearsome terrorists?

Would they delight in the destruction caused by horrific
hurricanes, (well, one of them anyway?) and attribute the
human tragedies to a God who's angry over some political
orientation in the U.S.?

It is to laugh. Sadly.
