தென்கிழக்காசியப் பிராந்தியத்தில் பொதுபலசேனாவின் கடும்போக்குவாத நிகழ்ச்சி நிரல் மற்றும் அதன் ராஜதந்திரத் தொடர்புகள் குறித்து பல உண்மைகளை முன்வைக்கும் கட்டுரை. "Buddhist extremism is also attempting to spread its tentacles. Sri Lanka Buddhist Nationalist group Bodu Bala Sena (BBS), which is believed to be behind anti-Muslim violence in the country, has links to both the government and nationalist Buddhist Sangha further afield. Earlier this year, BBS invited U Wirathu (often referred to as the 'Buddhist bin Laden' and spiritual head of Myanmar's Buddhist extremist 969 group) to visit. A spokesperson earlier this year noted that BBS was reaching out to a network of similarly minded (read extreme) Buddhist groups in the region. There is an increasing risk of a strong rise in violent Buddhist nationalism, particularly in Myanmar." http://www.lowyinterpreter.org/post/2014/09/19/Religion-in-Southeast-Asia-A-rising-tide-of-violence-in-a-sea-of-diversity.aspx?COLLCC=2793676298&
