Quote by: freefallife  Good point. Even buddhists have their "just wars" and violence in the name of their ideology. |
True, but I don't think buddhism started out with world conquest on its mind. I don't its founders married 6 yrs, started wars of mass-extermination, forced conversion and carryed out political assassinations.
I will admit that I know very little about Buddhism, but what I do know is it is not a predatory religion, meaning it doesn't recruit or force conversions.
Most people are losing the point. The point is unlike the big religions of today, Islam was started by a warlord and moved quickly into a war of conquest and forced conversion.

Very very true, that is why I put my faith in science over religion.
