Dont you? The Rape of Nanking and other atrocities committed by Japanese (Buddhist) soldiers during WW2.

The Sinhalese-Tamil (Buddhist - Hindu) civil war in Sri Lanka saw atrocities committed by both sides. The genocide of the Urghurs, the massacres of Muslims in Thailand. Laos, Burma and South Vietnam(prior to and during the Vietnam War) all saw terrorist atrocities committed by Buddhists.

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
