Check out the social structure of pre-1959 Tibet, and the actions carried out by the government/ruling class in the name of their religious (hence divine right to rule) strictures. Ask the Chinese whether they have been harmed by the Buddhists in Tibet, Qinghai and elsewhere (since we all have our moral reletivism on 'active' mode). Are we in danger of being invaded by them today? Only if Richard Gere has his way. But still, not so lilly white as you seem to think.

How many wars or genocides have been in the name of Buddha? How often do you see an army of Buddhists invading another land and claiming they will win because Buddha is on their side? Do you see hundreds of chinese soldiers dying at the hands of Tibetians? If this is happening please post links because that would totally destroy my belief that there might be something in the world that isn't bent on destruction.
