Fundamentalists of all theologies are violent - because their beliefs are so strongly rooted in fear. There are fewer “fundamentalist Buddhists” than exist in other religions, but no doubt a few exist - accompanied by a larger number of garden variety thugs who use Buddhism as a cloak of respectability for the violent acts they were planning to commit, anyway.
