Angry Your argument is ridiculous...

If you are going to make such harsh statements and stands...you should at least do your research!

"During World War II, Japanese Buddhist literature from that time, as part of its support of the Japanese war effort, stated "In order to establish eternal peace in East Asia, arousing the great benevolence and compassion of Buddhism, we are sometimes accepting and sometimes forceful. We now have no choice but to exercise the benevolent forcefulness of 'killing one in order that many may live' (issatsu tashō). This is something which Mahayana Buddhism approves of only with the greatest of seriousness..."[162] Almost all Japanese Buddhists temples strongly supported Japan's militarization"

And let's not forget the monks who lit themselves on fire because their religion told them to. Don't be so ignorant next time you wish to infect the world with your opinions. EVERY RELIGION ON THE PLANET HAS DONE BAD THINGS! That doesn't mean the entire faith is to blame.
