It doesn't mean, they dont do it all the time, and that they're religion was the reason they did it.
In fact I've always found it quite racist that Westerners picture Buddhists and peace loving, meditating monks, and that the liberals went from supporting Communist China (they were our ally) too supporting the so-called "free Tibet" movement. Advocating racism and religious oppression, in one of the most rural, and already oppressed corners of the world

I agree, but because we are talking about Buddhist, I didn't mention other religions.
