Whoever said this has never read any history. Buddhists seem to have  
done, at one time or another, just about anything anybody else has  
done. There were a couple of groups of Buddhists in China at one time  
who determined that the other group was not made up of sentient  
beings so it was OK to kill them.  Some Sino-historian on the list  
can probably tell us who, when, and why.
