Does anyone believe that Buddhism inspired the violence perpetrated by Buddhists in Sri Lanka and Myanmar recently?

Within the monastic traditions alone, there are over sixteen hundred years of Buddhist violence in Asia.[1] There are ample doctrinal sources that provide Buddhists with a justification for violence such as the Mahayana Chinese version of the Mahaparinirvana Sutra, Upayakaushalya Sutra, and the Kalachakra Tantra.

Well, now we know that you can use Google, and copy/paste from Wikipedia. See below. Do you perhaps have any useful comments to help further the discussion? Perhaps the actual words in Buddhist doctrine that justify meaningless violence.
