HINDUS v MUSLIMS fought Muslims during the division of India "Estimates of the number of deaths range around roughly 500,000, with low estimates at 200,000 and high estimates at 1,000,000" BUDDHISTS Who were fighting in 70-90% Buddist JAPAN during the 2nd world war? Did the Emperor of Japan have to call on its minority religions while the Buddist Japaneses sat at home refusing to kill for religious reasons? Buddists on the rampage www.nytimes.com/2013/03/23/world/asia/toll-rises-as-sectarian-violence-in-myanmar-spreads.html?_r=0 BUDDHISTS v BUDDHISTS Buddhist might not want to kill flies but Buddist kills Buddists in a long history of conflics between Cambodia and Thailand.

None that exist on an INTERNATIONAL scale and have taken such a firm and consistent stance.
Buddists most certainly participate in war regardless of their "official" theology and other groups are effectively tiny isolated communes, small breakaway groups and obselete 17th century religionistss with close on zero membership today... their metal hasn't really been tested in this regard and their members are not presently in prison (as is the case of Jehovah's Witnesses) for refusal to take up arms in countries (like South Korea) where military service is obligatory. Only Jehovah's Witnesses can lay claim to an international brotherhood of all nations, tribes, colours and cultures and have had their devotion to brotherly love recorded in the journals of history as being unbreakable!
As a group no other religion makes so much as a blip as recognized imprisioned consciencous objectors during major wars and conflicts and refusal of military service in times of "peace".
