Jesus was peaceful I admit that but Mohammed wasn't, he commanded an army, the Buddha would have rather have died than start violence and attack other living beings.

"Even if thieves carve you limb from limb with a double-handed saw, if you make your mind hostile you are not following my teaching."

Kamcupamasutta, Majjhima-Nikkaya I ~ 28-29

This is the ultimate peaceful quote, nothing you can fish out of the Quran or Bible comes close to this.

Buddhism is the most peaceful out of the main faiths.

The Buddha would not have even done that. He would not have seen himself as any more important than an attacker, in fact less so would have chosen to let an attacker kill him rather than kill an attacker

He would have persuaded the bandits to stop.

The Buddha met a highway murderer and persuaded him to renounce his violent ways, stop killing people and join the sangha.

"Buddhism and violence

But Buddhism, like the other great faiths, has not always lived up to its principles"
Exactly the people who doing the violence are not following Buddhist principles, therefore it is the fault of the person not of Buddhism, the Buddha taught against this behaviour as I have proved time and time again.

Violence is against Buddhist rules and core beliefs. Any one who engages in violent acts and claims to be a Buddhist is a Fake Buddhist, Full stop, end of.

"Wait wait
Doesn't Buddhist monks train themselves in the art of self defense
Doesn't sound so non-violent to me."

That is an extremely stereo typical view, , I think you have been watching to many Karate and Kung Fu Movies and the few who even actually do that aren't good Buddhists because the Buddha said you shouldn't kill an attacker to save your own life,and they only do that it in Japanese Zen Buddhism. Tibetan, Korean Zen and Theravada Buddhists don't do that.

There are very strict rules that Buddhist monks have to follow like they aren't allowed to walk on grass in case they harm insects, they are some of the most peaceful people in the planet, I mean just look at the Dalai Lama and how he has won the Nobel peace prize.

"so you are a fake buddhist?"

No because I am not violent.

So you say that even though someone calls themselves a buddhist, if they don't follow the peaceful teachings, they are not a true buddhist?

Oh! Like how even though someone calls themselves a muslim, if they don't follow the peaceful teachings, they are not a true muslim.

Of course they would teach themselves self defense.
Am I the only one that thought of this? You don't have to KILL an attacker to render them unable to harm you. When I learned a little kung fu from a very good master, he taught me all kinds of self defense maneuvers, and some of them could cause the strongest person to go limp with a few quick strikes...unfortunately I never put in enough practice to get good at them.
And you can knock an attacker unconscious to prevent him from hurting you. Then toss him in jail and what not.
I know it may be hard for you warmongering monsters to think there is a way other than killing people (like in all those action movies) to stop them from harming you, but there are other ways.
