realist,

The opinion polls you mentioned is rather suggestive of what Japanese are. Self-proclaimed sense of religiousness is not so important here. That's maybe what Oazawa meant to say.

As to your second paragraph, isn't it rather the lack of thoughtfulness for the children of Ishmael and Edom and the…

ashika1009,

Carpet bombing and use of mass destructive weapons on civilians were a violation of the Hague Conventions. Why weren't the traditional rules of war applied to the actions by the Allied side? The West and the East had very different notions of warfare indeed.

I've listened to a few services here and at local churches, and it is readily evident that the Japanese conception of Buddhism and Christianity are one and the same.

alargo's post is interesting. Ozawa san said on the mountain of Koyasan, though as part of his political pilgrimage, that Buddhism…

Okinawans' outcry which the government seems to make most of at present may augur something bigger than just the locals' long standing complaint.

Historically speaking, China doesn't consider herself to be in East Asia. East Asia or east ocean 東洋 from the standpoint of China means Japan. China thinks she is the center of Asia or even the world. So China may rather think herself to belong to the Central Asia or more…
