Buddhist's killing Muslims in the news?

[rucontent]

I have a conspiracy theory friend who often brings up outlandish connections. In one of his latest comments to me, he notified me of Buddhists killing Muslims, in what was once Burma. I was able to find a few articles, but still am confused at how to perceive this sentence. In light of not killing and sila stuff, how can it be true that Buddhists are killing Muslims? or is this just sensationalized news reporting?

thanks if you know.

A lot of people who are from Buddhist countries have not made sincere commitments to the Buddha's teachings; every religion has members who provide cultural lip service but do not practice that which their allegiance demands from them.
