Tibetan Monks rioted and looted banks within the last 5 years, chinese soldiers were killed during the riots
All Buddhist countries have seen atrocities committed by Buddhists in the last 80 years. Christians and Muslims dont have a monopoly in terrorist murders attrocities and genocide in the name of religion.
It is not religion, but politics, injustice, colonialism, greed for land and resources and occupation that create violence
