In My View: Vietnam's Buddhist Monk Thich Quang Do -20Dec07

At 80 years old, Buddhist Monk Thich Quang Do is one of Vietnam's most prominent dissidents.

Deputy leader of the outlawed Unified Buddhist Church of Vietnam, he's spent more than 25 years in detention for advocating greater religious freedoms and rights.

Now in tapes smuggled out of Vietnam, Thich Quang Do talks of life beyond the glossy tourist brochures to reveal a darker side of communist Vietnam.

This is the monk who i truly honor and respect. May he be blessed with good health so that he can continue to fight for our country!!!

@VNSki That country you LIVED in was where I lived in, where you were born was where I was Born. I am not a conspiracy theorist nor do I have any interest in it. But if you are as involve in politics and human rights work as I am you would realize that there is no religious freedom in Vietnam.If there is, there wouldn't be any protest from religious leaders such as Father Ly or monk Thich Quang Do in which they are imprisoned now. Because I love VN therefore i state the facts urging for changes

In Vietnam, I really hate the way Nguyen Van Ly and Thich Quang Do. They belong their religion not for social. They don't have to represent Vietnamese people.

Vietnamese people know that they should do. We don't need tp follow exactly the western democracy. Do you know the most western country violet the human right ? That's the only truth.

@VNSki

you better go to HoAssTube and lick his ass!

Well you love this mass murderer since your parents were fooled with commie propaganda years after years.

Just open your stupid eyes and compare what they have done in Nam and in S Korea/Taiwan.

Remember that under Ho basturd you can not cook noodle and sell in the neighborhood, you can not even sing love songs.

Go away or i stuff my shits into your stupid commie skull

@VNSki

only Viet Congs are bad just like Russian/chinese commies. He is a monk but he has the right to tell what is right and what is wrong and he was jailed many many years by bastardic commies. You came here to defend commies and push down this leading monk. Who is brainwashed? Dont' be a hypocrite and liar. Go to Nam and live there with commies!

[VNSki]

@dumaChoHoChiMinh By your comment, many people and I know how immature and brainwashed you are. What makes you think people are going to listen to your nonsense by talking like that? In my opinion you need to learn and do more research so you don't look stupid, and make Viet ppl look bad.

@VNSki

right

his job should be just like your mom's job :

licking ass Ho basturd!

[VNSki]

@buddhasknowbest That's so true, i hate when religious people try becoming politicians, or come into politics. This is not his job, as a Buddhist monk, his job is to pray for the health and well of people. If he wants to do things politically, he shouldn't of have became a monk.

@PeaceOfTruth You're saying the Buddhist temple of where I was born and lived is under government control? Please, stop bullshitting around Youtube with your conspiracy. Thats like saying the government controls churches in Western countries, and some actually do.

don't impress democracy too much .....

@Jinnin33 It seem like they allow religious freedom, but any organized religions or churches are under their monitor and CONTROL like the Buddhist Temple in Vietnam that have a huge statue of HoChiMinh for worship.the United Buddhist Church of Vietnam for example wants religious freedom, free from govt control, all the monks were under arrested many were "murdered" by the govt and i know this for a fact. catholic minister Ly was arrested bc he wants religious freedom, free from govt influence.
