I failed to mention, I meant to, in my list of things that Buddhism or Buddhists have been responsible for, that it’s also the case that the Burmese dictatorship is a Buddhist one. It spends a great deal of the national product building stupas. But I know that some people will think I’m piling on a bit there. That’s the only thing in the book so far that I’ve run into that I might have to consider rewriting. I am going to have a proper dialogue with Sam Harris on this because he is a very serious guy and he thinks I’m in error here. I’m not closed-minded. When I’m talking about Buddhism I don’t feel the same sense of urgency as I do when I’m talking about Islam, say. So I’m happy to concede that.

So this is not some “Gotcha” moment for the religious. He’s in the process of reviewing his thoughts about Buddhism.
