How does Buddhism see Islam?
score:1
I am very sorry to hear about the Rohingyas crisis. I have no knowledge how it is started. Does not matter how it started there is no justification to kill or displace innocent civilians. Buddha never spoke about Christians or Muslims. Buddha was born 2600 years ago. Christ was born about 2000 years ago. Mohemed was born about 1500 years ago. Buddha had a great compassion for all beings. So-called Buddhist involve in killings are not true Buddhists. I had many great Muslim and Tamil friends. I am glad you raise this question here to clarify your doubt, I suggest you start reading bit more about Buddhism. Kind regards SaratW

People of any background, religion, etc may have opinions of a group but that does not mean the entire population has the same view. For example, radical Islamist kill in the name of Islam but other Muslims of the world do not accept or condone their actions.
The answer to your question is that Buddhism accepts all. Your happiness and liberation of suffering, no matter what religion or belief is the ultimate goal.

Talking about Rohingyas puts your question in a completely different category. The conflict in Myanmar is a political conflict. Rohingyas are originally from Bangladesh. These people invaded Myanmar and slaughtered the people living in the bordering villages, putting their heads on spikes. When the Myanmar army fought back to protect the citizens, suddenly some media in the West and some officers in the UN with vested interests started talking about human rights. Nowadays it's pretty common knowledge that Western powers use Human rights organizations as tools to create conflicts in countries.
If you did not talk about Rohingyas in your question, the answer would be that Buddhists see Islam in the same way as they see Christianity. It's just another religion based on the belief of an almighty, all creating, all compassionate God. That puts it under Sassatavada, one of the 2 fundamental misbeliefs.
Generally Buddhists are not against anyone's right to believe in whatever they want to believe. They do not put people in jail, stone people to death or butcher them just because they believe something different. But if you think that a Buddhist society will stay idle if you start grabbing their land and butchering them, you are in for an ugly surprise.
