Islam and Buddhism
The word Buddha means "the awakened, or enlightened one,"
signifying the spiritual heights that Siddhartha Gautama is supposed
to have attained. Those Buddhist teachings and texts that have come
down to us do not date from the period in which he lived, but were
written down between 300 and 400 years after his death. In the fol-
lowing pages of this book, we will examine these texts in detail and
we will see that they contain false beliefs, practices that go
beyond all logic and present Buddha perversely as an idol to be wor-
shipped.
One of the giant statues Buddhists built in Katmandu to express
their perverse beliefs.
