Can you give some examples of horrors specifically committed in Buddha's name? Groups of people who identified themselves as Buddhists have committed horrors but were they doing it to impose Buddhism on everyone else or for some other reason?
It's happening now, in Burma, some are calling it an ethnic cleansing of Muslims.... by Buddhist monks.
I don't have the time to look up specific references, but just look into the history between China and Japan, I'd have a read of Zen at War if you're that interested.
Doesn't matter what the religion teaches, people will always find a way to fight and kill for it.
