I just spent a good while going through the entire bok list in the buddhist genre to put in for books to be taken out. Why does it seem that so many in the western world think that anything eastern is automatically buddhism? From hindu to taoism and even islam; I just don't get how some of this stuff ended up in there.

Just an FYI the site opperators cannot change the set up of the genre lists. It comes from a different site. So its still goofy but it cant be changed here.

Some of it is the Library of Congress listings.  Same idiots that think anything haivng to do with the Christian's Old Testament must also be Jewish.  I do so love searching for Jewish books and getting a list full of vile Christian ones instead.
