Why are there no Buddhist extremists?

Asked by Hawaii_Jake (37351points) September 14th, 2010

There are Christian extremists who want to burn Korans. Through the past 2000 years, Christians have committed all sorts of heinous acts in the name of doing God’s will.

Islamic extremists have been blamed for all sorts of atrocities and terrorism.

The Jews of the Old Testament were certainly not above pillaging.

All sorts of terrible things have been done in the name of religion, but where are the Buddhists in all this? Is it possible that they have found the peaceful way? Could we look to them for guidance?

Should we all be studying Buddhism, if we want to know peace?
