Why do people think Buddhism is peaceful when it is inherently pacifist?

Buddhism and Buddhists are two different things. The teachings can be peacefull, but human beings are not. There are violent people in all religions.

I have no idea,, We are seeing the true colors of Buddhists in Myanmar and Sri Lanka. Very violent people, more violent than anyone I have ever seen, even more violent than khawrij isis.

They went into Myanmar areas occupied by Muslims, raped women, executed civilians, stole land, destroyed homes, threw infants into lakes and fires in front of their mothers after raping them,, etc. These are devils and there is a great reward in killing these devils.

Every single Muslim male should endeavor to join the Mujahideen, Allah's Apostle (s) said if you men have not endeavored to fight in Allah's cause in your life at all, then you are not one of us Muslims.

Thesauruses are great, however, one must actually read the little words under the headings to understand what these words mean. Remember, 'if you cant say what you mean you can't mean what you say'.

Because people think in general based on its teaching Buddhism is a peaceful religion but in fact those Myanmar Buddhists are cruel.They killed Rohingya Muslims.Their houses were burnt and they ousted alive Muslims without humanity.

You defintly don't know the definition of inherently, it means it's essential or it's a characteristics of it

Actually, they do seem to run up Gasoline (petrol) bills when they get nasty about something.

I don't care about buddhism. Jesus created buddha

Look up the meaning of pacifist

life's too short to wax philosophically about religions and politics. none of it matters.
