His Lordship Mayer just said the some don’t agree with the prominance given to Buddhism! It is is akin to people like you disagreeing with Western hipocrisy!

What gog? It is good for the western countries to adopt policies to Christianize the society. But not ethical for others to use the religion of the majority and the state to protect that. What western hypocrisy and flawed logic of Michael Mayer.

However I wonder whether the country Michael Mayer comes from has official holidays for any religion other than Christianity, and its government officially celebrates them?
