Exactly...and I am not even a little bit surprised.

I posted about this a while back... It is disturbing to me to say the least. To use Buddhism for a Nazi-like movement is not just repugnant... it's contrary. There is no sense in it, and I would urge them to read the Dhammapada... There is no way I support this and I ache for those who are the victims of this political movement couched in Buddhism.

Every group has their fringe.
