What, only "one" incident in Burma and Buddhists are suddenly not peaceful?
How many incidents count as a coincidence, and how many incidents count as a pattern?
Buddhism is a sect of Hinduism (Sanathana Dharma), as much as Christianity and Islam are sects of Judaism, which they are not.
Buddha rejected the Vedas, which are central to Hinduism. Also, Buddhism is atheistic religion i.e. there is no concept of God in Buddhism.
Buddha did not reject the vedas...there are many verses in sutta nipat were buddha has admired vedic scholars who truly understand the real vedas...while answering the questions of a brahmin, Buddha clearly stated that vedas were adulterated.
Buddhist idols were one of the very first idols in India even before the idols of hindu gods i think.
