Before any religion could be a "religion of peace" it would have to respect the rights of all individuals, regardless of any belief, including religion.

It would also have to be against ANY inititation of force, for ANY reason, or it wouldn't be peaceful.

All religions I have seen have used dogma at one time or another to peddle force "based on the sound judgement of those icons in power". Rarely is this type of order system honest, let alone having sound judgement.
I am against war specifically because of what I believe.



Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. -- Song 8:6
