Hmmm. I don't mean to sound judgmental, or as if I'm an authority, but it occurs to me that 1. some of these men and/or women might be a little too attached to the image of Buddha, 2. The march is entirely for the comfort of the people within the march and how the outside world affects their sensibilities, and 3. You cannot stop people from disrespecting Buddha. Somebody, somewhere, is going to use it however they want.

I think Oliver was right when he said laughing it off was the best thing they could do. I've had people insults Buddhism, or my other -isms, to my face not knowing that I was one. I just shrug it off. They are entitled to their opinion, regardless of how ill-informed it may be.
