This does not sound like a religious issue.

Because Buddha who founded Buddhism preach tolerance, inclusiveness, patience, Compassion.

Buddhism forbid killings, ostracism, discrimination - but preach inclusiveness.

By labeling Buddhists for misbehaving is an insult to Buddhism - because according to Buddha, for disciples who practise Buddhism but fail to observe Buddhism values are not Buddhists.

This article should replace "Buddhists" with "Rakhine" - because this is a racial issue and immigration issue - that should be address by the Government - not by Religious Leaders.

Because it is very clear in Buddhism teachings and Buddhism values - that all the above conduct contradict and go against the values of Buddhism.

In other words, they are not Buddhists as they fail the values of a Buddhists and Monk Order.

Take out any Buddhism scripture and teachings ---- no scripture or teachings preach violence, killings, ostracism, discrimination.

In fact, no single bloodshed or a single blood is shed ever recorded in Buddhism scriptures --- such is the Holiness and Universal Compassion of Buddhism.

For Buddhism is the only religion that will salvage Beings from Hell Realm, Hungry Ghosts Realm, Animal Realms - in fact all 10 Realms in the Universe.

No other Religions have such Universal Compassion.

So how can Rakhine call themselves Buddhists - where this fundamental Universal Values of Buddhism is not observed?

Where in fact, the Ultimate Bodhi Vows of Buddhism is :-

"Leave no one behind.

Leave no sand behind.

==== in this mundane Samsara Universe" === until all 10 Realms Beings are Salvaged into the Final Nirvana --- of no birth, no death, no sufferings, no karma - of Eternal Bliss.

This is the Universal Compassion of Buddhism.

Any Buddhists who does not possess the fundamental values of Universal Compassion - 大慈大悲 - Great Compassion, Grieving on the sufferings of 10 Realms ----- are not Buddhists.

  Buddhism preach Mutual Inclusiveness - regardless of races, languages, religions, male, female, aged, children, color of the skin, social status.

  Every one, every sentinent beings has a place on Earth, has a place in the Universe.

  This is the Universal Compassion that Buddha preaches, that Buddhism embrace.

  ---

  Buddhism fundamental tenets and principles - is anchor on Middle Path, Moderation, Win-Win solutions, Win-Win outcomes, "I am ok, You are ok" - no discrimination, no ostracim.

  Buddhism preaches :-

  "Think no evil.

  Speak no evil.

  Do no evil.

  Think good.

  Speak good.

  Do good.

  Refrain from all evil".

  Hence, this is no such term as Radical Buddhists or Hardline Buddhists because Buddhism central tenets is known as "Middle Path".

  Hence Radical Buddhists or Hardline Buddhists - are non-Buddhists - because they fail to observe what Buddha taughts.

    And what Buddha taughts - are govern by the Universal Law of Karma ---- whereby each sentinent being will have to be responsible for each own thoughts, words and deeds.

    Every sentinent beings' life in this Universe will be govern by how each think, speak or do - individually and collectively.

    Simply put :-

    "Think good, speak good, do good ---- reap good outcome.

    Think bad, speak ill, do bad --- reap bad outcome."

    The cardinal principle is :- "Do good, Refrain from bad".
