[Buddha-l] Castro on Ahmadinejad

[Vera, Pedro L.]

I wonder how relevant (or believable) can Castro's remarks be about anti-semitism when, in fact, his regime ran "concentration camps" for political dissenters, individuals with religious beliefs, homosexuals, intellectuals, professionals who wanted to leave the country. Basically, anyone who fit the rather broad label (applied by the regime, of course) of engaging in "improper conduct".

Subject: [Buddha-l] Castro on Ahmadinejad

Hi all,

Just wondered what Dan and Richard think about Fidel Castro's recent
critique of Ahmadinejad specifically and anti-semitism in general. For
the Atlantic magazine article that printed the comments, see <http://tinyurl.com/34anpsh
 >.

And, uh, now for the Buddhist content...

...um...

Okay, fine. I just wanted to stir up trouble. Think of me as the Gelug
 rinpocheand Dan and Richard as the monks I want to engage in this
practice. (Alright, don't. But at least that perhaps fulfills the
mandatory content rule.)

Franz
