That Yahoo news article was so full of lying crap that I couldn't stand to read all of it.
Sri Lanka.
I heard a Buddhist monk a long time ago explain that being a Buddhist was not the same as a being a pacifist. There would have been no Buddhist countries if they had not defended themselves. They are not Hippies. In all cases Buddhist violence is a reply to Muslim aggression. (Any far-right violence in the West is a response to Muslim aggression and the betrayal of the West's leaders).
"have used religion to justify violence" No they haven't they have defended themselves just like the Christians tried to in the Crusades. In Tibet it was the Buddhist monks that resisted and died fighting the Chinese invasion.
"....Buddhism is somehow under threat," -this statement is a manipulating of the fact that Buddhism is really under threat, like us all, from the spread of Islam.
"warped historical grievances have "collided with recent Islamophobia". -this is pure propaganda in defence of the "innocent" Muslims.
Islam is invasive- "toppling ancient Buddhist empires in Malaysia and Indonesia and now threatening the same for modern Buddhist nations through jihad or high birth rates." -This is a typical strategy introduce historical facts and then dismiss them as irrelevant. Muslims have actually invaded lands and slaughtered opponents for centuries.
There is no Muslim plot or conspiracy, the Muslims do actually want to destroy all other cultures and are quite open about their intentions.
"ultra-nationalists" -now there's a badge to wear with honour.
In this article you notice that any that oppose Islam are portrayed as villains. In Thailand it is the Muslims that are the troublemakers.
"By labelling Muslims as adversaries to Buddhism, which historically has not been true,..." -this statement is a deliberate lie.

And people like the NYT wonder why Buddhists, when they can, are reacting to defend themselves

Welcome to 4 Freedoms!
(currently not admitting new members)
Just fill in the box below on any 4F page to be notified when it changes.
Most Western societies are based on Secular Democracy, which itself is based on the concept that the open marketplace of ideas leads to the optimum government. Whilst that model has been very successful, it has defects. The 4 Freedoms address 4 of the principal vulnerabilities, and gives corrections to them.
At the moment, one of the main actors exploiting these defects, is Islam, so this site pays particular attention to that threat.
Islam, operating at the micro and macro levels, is unstoppable by individuals, hence: "It takes a nation to protect the nation". There is not enough time to fight all its attacks, nor to read them nor even to record them. So the members of 4F try to curate a representative subset of these events.
We need to capture this information before it is removed. The site already contains sufficient information to cover most issues, but our members add further updates when possible.
We hope that free nations will wake up to stop the threat, and force the separation of (Islamic) Church and State. This will also allow moderate Muslims to escape from their totalitarian political system.
These 4 freedoms are designed to close 4 vulnerabilities in Secular Democracy, by making them SP or Self-Protecting (see Hobbes's first law of nature). But Democracy also requires - in addition to the standard divisions of Executive, Legislature & Judiciary - a fourth body, Protector of the Open Society (POS), to monitor all its vulnerabilities (see also Popper).
1. SP Freedom of Speech
Any speech is allowed - except that advocating the end of these freedoms
2. SP Freedom of Election
Any party is allowed - except one advocating the end of these freedoms
3. SP Freedom from Voter Importation
Immigration is allowed - except where that changes the political demography (this is electoral fraud)
4. SP Freedom from Debt
The Central Bank is allowed to create debt - except where that debt burden can pass across a generation (25 years).
An additional Freedom from Religion is deducible if the law is applied equally to everyone:
