"except the Buddhist and Hindu`s...they`re pretty fucking cool"

See "the partitioning of India."

Violence is as synonymous with Hinduism as it is with Xtianity. Maybe in a vacuum they only have themselves to kill. But they don't exist in a vacuum.

The bloodthirstyness between Hindu and Muslim was so fierce that a new religion ( Sikhism ) was invented to bridge the gap and argue that all can live in brotherly peace. So naturally the Muslim and the Hindu started slaughtering Sikhs.

See also Buddhist Monks beating the cr*p out of each other. ( link below )

Buddhism, like so many religions, has its clerical properties taxed and treated differently. Further, in many regions and times ( feudal Japan ) the church was where you put the non-inheriting sons of nobility to A ) keep them from trying to poison their way to the throne AND B ) still being alive and available in case someone outside the chain of inheritance tried to poison their way to the throne.

The combo of frustrated minor noble with tax-free lands ( and serfs ) to fight over meant that the power struggles among Buddhists could make Godfather Part I look rather anemic.

There is no religion of peace with more than two followers. "Dad likes you better," is the precursor to all fights. :)
