[Buddha-l] Compassionate Violence?

[Jo]

Andy,
Maybe you will read this?
If you seek the non-mythic aka 'reality' violence, you should review the
history of Buddhist sangha vs the Tamils violence in Sri Lanka. 
At the present moment that has morphed into Buddhist sangha vs. Muslims
(citizens, not immigrants), often resulting in violence, as in contemporary
Burma: where the same thing is going on and the same propaganda is being
used to justify it: defense of the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. 

I posted on this before but as usual you probably deleted it without
reading.

Thanks for this, Chris, very helpful.

Of course, in reference to our original topic, I am interested in any
justifications of violence to defend the Dharma, the Buddha, or Buddhism in
general.  And this in immediate practical action rather
than mythological?
