This is really a communal conflict, rather than a religious conflict. But then again, that is the case with a few other so-called religious conflicts today.
Even with these riots, it is still difficult to paint Buddhism or Buddha as hostile. The rioters are not at all drawing from any religious teachings. In case of Abrahamic religions, the perps can quote scripture as justification. I don't think there is anything similar in Buddhism.
