    Biddhism has no way for protection from the intolerant ideologies and followers.
    Its mother – Hindu dharma has a way.
    Dharma says: Non-violence is supreme dharma; but violence in accordance per dharma is also supreme dharma. Vedas say: All the six types off aatataayies must be killed. These are: those who attack with deadly weapon, those who kill by poison, those who destroy property by fire, those who plunder community property, those who take away or rape other’s wife, those who gabble othre’s land. The a government protects the adharmies -criminals, then the gov is adharmi. Then the people need to act in united manner, because gov. cannot help but hurts.
